Hey there!

Along with the fifth AMA video in this series, where I answer questions about why feedback can be useless, why my response to Voices.com was so short, and whether robocallers wait to see if your voicemail picks up, I also had an encounter with the local fire and EMT first responders when Betsy had to call 911 a couple of nights ago – so a bit of a warning for you.

Here are the answers to today’s questions.

Hey there!

As a part of these One A Day videos that I’ve challenged myself with this year, I asked viewers to submit questions for a virtual AMA.

Because I got so many questions, I couldn’t answer them all in one episode. So this is the fourth AMA video in the series. In this video, I’m going to answer questions about commercial “conflicts”, directing yourself in a world of isolated auditioning, and what “having a radio voice” means.

And the answers are…

Hey there!

As a part of these One A Day videos that I’ve challenged myself with this year, I asked viewers to submit questions for a virtual AMA.

Because I got so many questions, I couldn’t answer them all in one. So this is the third AMA video in the series. In this video, I’m going to answer questions about my hiring practices, what differences I see in on-camera versus voice over performance work, and what kind of mic I use when doing these videos to minimize room noise.

And the answers are…

Hey there!

As a part of these One A Day videos that I’ve challenged myself with this year, I asked viewers to submit questions for a virtual AMA.

Because I got so many questions, I couldn’t answer them all in one. So this is the second AMA video in the series. In this video, I’m going to answer questions about why I am unable to make Rehearsal® Pro for Android, what the best path is for a newbie to get VO work, and if there are any shortcuts I can recommend for a diamond in the rough to get ahead quickly as a performer.

And the answers are…

Hey there!

Episode 100. Wha??

Well, to celebrate the 100th of these 365 One A Day videos that I’ve challenged myself with this year, I asked viewers to submit questions for a virtual AMA.

I was deluged with questions, far more than I can answer in one video. So this will be the first of several. In this video, I’m going to answer questions about why my videos are as short/long as they are, the reasons I left radio, and what I recommend for ad blocker software for Macintosh.

And the answer is…

Hey there!

You’ll see the name Napoleon Hill everywhere when you start looking for leadership and success training. He wrote a famous book called “Think and Grow Rich.”

And in addition to the principles in that book, his famous Laws of Success, which are just as important and as relevant today as they were when they were first published in back in 1937, these rules of self discipline, which I heard in a rare radio recording, are designed to give you more power to be successful, and to implement the rules in the book.

Here they are.

Hey there!

In just a couple of days, I’ll be shooting a video where I’ll be giving answers to questions I solicited in an AMA – Ask Me Anything session.

But one was too juicy to wait on.

I got a comment from Kendra about my use of the word “ethnic,” and she went on to ask about how I handle things when I make a mistake.

The first thing I do is to make sure it was an actual mistake. And if it is, here’s how I learn from my mistakes.
