The Off Air Voiceover Podcast

Episode 7 - Survive 'n' Thrive Ft.Susie Valerio

It was an absolute pleasure to have @susievalerio join us on this week’s episode.  Susie is a multilingual award winning storytelling voice artist, , experienced casting and production pro at @soundcutsltd, and all round bloody legend. 
As a Casting Director in video games, we talk about what it's like to be on the other side, a bit about AI and how going global could help you book alot more work....
We created this podcast to help voiceovers feel connected through some honest banter and said that this wasn’t necessarily the place to come to learn, well apologies we were wrong. We’ve learnt something from every one of our guests and never more so than from Susie.
We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it. Let us know!

Episode 4 - Monkey Mind

Hello! Enjoying the voiceover rollercoaster?
Whether you’re flying high or you feel like you’re still waiting to get on the ride, being a voice actor can be tough. We ALL feel like this at times but we don’t always share it in public, this can lead us to assume we’re the only one who struggles.
In this week’s episode we share some of our personal challenges, insecurities and how we both struggle (and have struggled) with the dreaded Monkey Mind, including
- Jen sounding like the queen once in a session
- and Michael having an anxiety episode recording for Man City FC (Not because he supports Man United either...)
Hopefully something will resonate with you and we can feel more connected as a community; through good times and bad.
Hope you enjoy it and if you do please consider supporting us by sharing, liking and/or following our podcast!
See you next week!

As Voice Overs we often work alone, but we don’t want any one of us to feel lonely. We love having a chat with other VOs at conferences and networking events and we wanted to replicate that energy in this podcast. 
DON’T expect anything overly formal or to come out an expert, DO expect some friendly banter and honest, light hearted chat.
