Super appreciative,DJ. 🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Great ma man .

Bro , what kind of shotgun mic are you using in this video ?

Awesome video, DJ. Thanks again for taking the time to share. I think of you aren't being yourself people can kinda tell it comes across as forced or that thing where you say it sounds good, but there is something missing. that I can't put my finger on.

Great advice, I really appreciate you putting this out there.

I just came by this video via my homepage. I've been intrested in doing VA but haven't really put much time and thought into it. This seems like a call to action. I have done some acting gigs for small shorts and student films and voice acting slways seemed fun (I watch a lot of anime too so...). I do have a problem of not being objective, that can go either way. Anyways. Nice chill vid.

dope but this could of been a 10 min video. .lol u get a lil sidetrack

My boy is back 🥹🥹🎉🎊🍾

I'm looking forward to the video on DIY demos.

would the audio technica 2040 be a decent starting mic

Is there a difference in the output? Can you hear it?

😁 Those brown walls of yours, DJ. Hmmmm. Haha. Thank you for more solid information! Makes 100 percent sense. -- I watched a VO video for beginners that had recommended taking 3 to 6 months and just research. I laughed at it. But the more I dig in, the more I see the point in that. Although...for me personally... I have to be careful with "procrastilearning."

Yo DJ just wanted to thank you man. Your videos are just absolute gold for getting into Voice acting. I usually don't really care about smaller YT Channels and swipe them away but im so happy I actually follow you. You're a massive help not just to my research, but hopefully to my life. If I someday make it big as a Voice actor I will shout you out constantly, that's a promise!

Definitely need help understanding the language clients use to explain what they are seeking...and how it translates to where in my self and in my voice I have to sit to produce the sounds they are after. There are many ways for me to sound confident, warm, enthusiastic, or sexy. What's the idea..just audition aimed at the clients needs and see what sticks or doesnt ? I'm four audio books into my VO endeavors, using the reads/audtions to get in reps. I'm 57. Got here from being unable to do other work previous jobs...auto accident. Any income I can generate is positive movement after 16years of being in bed (with body damage and concussion effects ) or having to return to the bed for a significant portion of a they . But now, the last few years, I can sit up all day and do other things. Had gear already, built an audio blanket booth. Trying to figure out what I'm actually doing, as in how to spend my day; demos, audition, narrate, listening, head spinning !Thanks !

Currently stalking your collection. Thank you, DJ ! Your presence here is much needed. I'm terrible at discussing $$ with potential clients. (I'm coming form being a performing musician to VO(newbie) Gamsahamnida !

Awesome, THANK YOU, Dj.

Got it i have seen those before,but never even thought about them. I have had a bunch of clients on fiverr they have been happy and a bit easier. but I know eventually I will get more like this. Thanks again man.

Thank DJ this is very encouraging! 🥲

I almost got scammed myself. A guy wanted me to give him 1000 "auditions" so he could get me ready to "put my voice into AI". And after I gave him those 1000 auditions.... I then have to pay him 5k. Ridiculous! And this guy is a professional, well established VO!!!

Man, thanks for this. i am getting a lot of gold from you, man. I have a question i am on fiverr a Canadian agency reached out wants a raw file. Wants me to sync which terrifies me. They want a demo of my voice at 4410 hrtz 16 but pcm 5 1:30 min videos. Should I turn this down? I know nothing about hrtz yet or any of that. Sorry again not the place I'm just really stuck and have not knowledge outlet

Thank you very much brother for sharing this. This was probably the most informing, well-presented, in depth and concise video/expose on the topic. A very sincere and genuine energy which answered many of the questions I had exactly. This was inspiring and empowering vs making it look daunting and threading it to a course deemed "the answer" like many videos/channels do. A breath of much needed fresh air on this uphill journey/mountain climb! Lastly I will say you have a very Obama energy about you. If Obama had an unknown son (:O!) doing VO work, it would be you spot on! Much respect for all the game dropped here. Bless!

Thank you brother, for all the advice, the acknowledgements, the realities, the boost up, the golden tone, and for keeping it inspiringly accessible. Subscribed ! I'm four audio books in and working on my DIY demo currently.

Your point that practicing even what won’t be sent out is a challenge and a relief. I don’t want to “waste time” working on something that won’t see the light of day but it’s a good way to get the ball rolling.

In b4 your youtube channel blows up. (it is going to). also conGRATS fuck yes

It's a great video, as always. Damn, I thought you were 23 or something.😂 keep up the good work!

Great video. Thanks.

Thanks for the video dude

😃 "maybe if it was 6 figures.." Ha! --- I just want to comment again to nudge this algorithm.

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 Damn. You were speaking directly to me, DJ ! Literally, And figuratively. That was my question you had up there! Straight to my heart. Love this message. Comprehensive indeed. And NOPE. I ain't clicking off the video. A wise man told me "practice practice practice," and I'm gonna listen. I'm taking all of these nuggets of information, again, to heart. I need to get out of my own way. Great video, man. Thank you, and continue your success over there !

I've watched a ton of videos now on getting into VO. Your take and presentation is really clicking with me thank you. I went to check out your website but it seems Bitly is flagging it as potential spam when I follow the link in the description.

I started this VO thing 6 months ago at 52 yrs old. It is a long journey, AND I already have 2 regular jobs. Great advice to temper expectations. The work is picking up, but I'm not getting rich anytime soon, and I'm so ok with that. Loving the process.

Great advice! Thank you for taking the time to explain this!

Love your honesty about not being an expert on interfaces 😂

Can you run us through what your current booth looks like?

The quality jump at 2:50 is stunning. This really is possible for a lot of people, including me

I wonder if I can record a demo on audacity

I'm glad I found your YT channel. I'm just starting and follow Bill DeWees on his daily morning "huddle" (about 15 minutes).

I am just (JUST NOW) starting from ground zero. Having the confidence to put in those 10,000 bad hours is a steep hill to climb.

I needed to hear this! 감사합니다, 선배님

I am terrified of Audio books I spar tyson In his prime before I take one of those jobs. Thanks for the info D.

This was the most difficult part for me to learn when crossing the threshold into Voice Over. But your videos have been extremely helpful in mitigating the stress by allowing me to set proper expectations while pursuing my dream! Many thanks for all the insight you share!

Super solid advice! I saw on LinkedIn today though, Voiceover Roundtable is on hiatus 😢

I'm that guy that hasn't even picked up a mic yet. But I Strongly feel you gave this guy the encouragement he needs. As well as just being insightful, real, and personable for us all. Oh... and a riot, too. 🙂You balance these traits well. Thank you!

I learned a lot about exclusivity and perpetuity tradeoffs. Thank you so much!

Great information. Thank you!

Don't mind me, just binging your videos like a fuckin' maniac haha dude I realized the coaching hubris in me and had to rip the band aid off. I joined GVAA for a year, saved up for it and took the leap. I've already learned so so much and it's motivated me to practice a lot more, because there's now coaches looking at me and expecting me to get better as well! These videos kick ass man, appreciate them!!

Dude THANK you these videos are answering so so many questions I've had bouncing around in my head! I can relate to a lot of what that guy said as well so it's nice to have a full discussion about it!
