Hey Super Students,

Hope you're all crushing your reads and making yourself and those microphones proud!

Just popping into your inbox to give you a friendly nudge (and a virtual high-five) about booking your upcoming private VO sessions. Remember all that awesome progress we've been making? Let's keep that momentum going strong! Think of these sessions as your personal VO gym – the more you show up, the stronger you get! Don't let those fresh skills gather dust. Your future voiceover career (and your vocal cords) will thank you.

Now is the time to really focus on your goals! As we wrap up summer and head into fall, it's prime time to get your portfolio prepped for agent submissions. Here in Texas, commercial industry trends often pick up before the big holiday season as marketing budgets start looking to maximize those holiday dollars. Even if agency representation isn't your current focus, let's get you started on roster work and self-marketing strategies.

To help you cultivate the career you truly want, ask yourself these three questions:

1. What specific types of acting or voice acting work genuinely excite you the most, and what steps can you take this week to pursue opportunities in those areas?
2. Considering your current skills and portfolio, what is one key area you can strengthen or add to your materials to make yourself more competitive in the next three months?
3. Beyond bookings, what does "success" look like for you in your acting/VO career in the next 6-12 months (e.g., specific training, networking goals, personal branding development), and what are the first three actionable steps you can take toward that vision?

Speaking of leveling up, have you ever thought about how a professional website could totally transform your acting and voice acting career? Because let's be real, in today's world, if you're not online, are you even really there?

Good news! I'm hosting a Website Design Workshop on August 28th specifically for actors and voice actors like you. We'll cover everything you need to build a killer online presence that gets you noticed by casting directors and clients. Think of it as building your own personal online stage that's open 24/7.

Why a website? Here's the TL;DR version:

• Your Professional Hub: It's your one-stop shop for your reel, resume, and portfolio – making it ridiculously easy for people to find your amazing work.
• Credibility & Brand: A polished site screams "pro" and lets you show off your unique vibe and range. Bye-bye, generic social media profiles!
• Direct Opportunities: Get those direct bookings and auditions without relying solely on third-party platforms. Hello, more paid gigs!

Ready to ditch the "deer in headlights" look when someone asks for your website and instead, proudly send them a link to your fabulous new online home?

Let's keep those voices (and careers!) moving forward!

Best,
