A Legacy of Professional Voice Acting Insights & Industry Evolution
2021 was a year of professional maturity and deep reflection for the voice over community. As the industry settled into new remote standards, I focused on the "Performance Architecture" required to sustain a long-term career. These entries capture the heart of the craft, from technical booth upgrades to the emotional resilience needed to thrive in a competitive landscape.
Key Topics and Career Milestones from 2021
The Heart of the Industry
The year began with a heavy heart as we said goodbye to a giant in our field. My tribute to Brad Venable (1977-2021) remains a reminder of the passion and kindness that defines the best of this community.
Technical & Acting Mastery
I continued to pull back the curtain on the "Booth Life," exploring the technical world of Plugins and the essential acting craft of the "Lead-In" technique. I also took a deep dive into the specific demands of the Explainer Video genre.
The Professional Mindset
Success in voice acting is as much about the "Inner Game" as it is the voice. I explored the reality of handling rejection and maintaining a mindset that fosters long-term growth.
Strategic Evolution
In 2021, my work as a business consultant took a massive leap forward. To ensure these resources remain accessible to the global VO community, my high-level business strategy posts from this year have been permanently moved to VOStrategist.com, including:
