I& #39;ll tell you guys a secret- When I first started voice acting... I wasn& #39;t very good, haha. After about a year of auditioning and not booking anything, I entered into a four-month dry spell of NO voiceover work. I decided to change that.
I realized I hadn& #39;t been taking my career seriously. So I started taking classes. LOTS of classes. I trained in improv, hired an acting coach, took voice acting classes, film and television workshops, auditioning workshops, etc. I read Meisner, Stanislavsky, and Keith Johnstone.
And after about six months of working my tail off, I booked my first named role. But, I didn& #39;t stop there. I saw people who had been in the industry for 10+ years still taking workshops, so I decided I& #39;d keep going, too. I still take workshops at least 2 or 3 times per year.
When the pandemic hit, I entered into another dry spell. (Many of us did.) Things are starting to pick back up, but even 7 years into my career, things can still be slow. Everyone has their ups and downs. Don& #39;t give up. Use the downtime to grow and then come back swinging!
