Podcasts have become popular. It is natural how this new form of audio entertainment fits neatly within the voiceover realm.
If you’re the type who likes to listen, hear updates and learn new things while driving in the car, working out or, at your desk, and wondering which voiceover related podcasts you should spend time listening to. I’m here to help!
There are loads of podcasts out there and many provide a ton of great information through interviewing people and sharing stories of their journey and interweaves tips and share advice. However, I’ve narrowed it down to 4 voiceover podcasts you should tune into if you’re an aspiring voice actors.
My criterias for the top 4?
No fluff just the essentials, covers a variety of topics, and the average episode run time is less than an hour. Wherever you are on your journey, you’ll find something relevant.
In no particular order, here are the Top 4 No Fluff Voiceover Podcast to tune into:
1. Acting Business Boot Camp
Peter Pamela Rose is a casting director, certified life and career coach for the entertainment industry. In her podcast, she breaks down the business of being a working actor into simple, actionable steps. I love her energy. It’s always a delight to listen to her. She is straight up, funny, gives tough love with positive encouragement to help you keep focus and stay on course when you’re feeling mystified with the inner workings of the industry without the fluff. I guarantee within each episode you’ll find a golden nugget.
2. Everyday VOpreneur
For those more interested on the business side of things, Marc Scott, who is also a voice actor does a fantastic job guiding you through how to think like an entrepreneur and treat your career as a business. You’ll enjoy his down-to-earth, realistic approach and practical advice on the business and marketing side of voice over useful and easily implementable to build meaning relationships and transform your business practices.
3. Voice Coach Podcast
Nic Redman is from Northern Ireland, and she’ll help you explore your vocal potential. In her podcasts you’ll find tips and tricks from warm up to delivery, to how to care for your voice and a whole lot more. 100% you’ll know how to get the most out of your speaking voice so that you can reach your voiceover goals. The best part, I love how her podcasts are short and sweet and super fun because you get to practice along.
4. A VOs Journey Podcast
Anthony Pica is a voice actor and helps new and upcoming VO artist grow their business and side step all the crazy things he has stepped on. What I enjoy about Anthony’s podcast is that he is non-judgemental and is down-to-earth in his approach. He shares his missteps and the lessons he’s learned along the way and is open to people wanting to explore different ways to creating success in their voiceover career.
There you have it! Remember as you navigate your voice over journey, voiceover actors will give you tips and tricks left and right on what it takes to be successful.
At the end of the day, you have to keep in mind the tips and tricks are still their own. It’s what works for them. So take their tips as a grain of salt or as a new perspective.
If it resonates, you still need to test the tips and tricks for yourself to see if it works for you. Some will, some won’t, next! The key is to figure out what does work for you and apply it. The rest? toss.
For those inspired to start a podcast and incorporating it as part of your VO business. Check out Anchor. It’s one of the easiest way to get started and it’s free! I have used it before and dabbled in it to explore whether or not podcast was something I was interested in starting. And came to the conclusion starting a podcast is not so up my alley. But, it may be for you!
