A VO's Journey is about helping new voiceover artists grow their business by listening to my journey to becoming a full-time voice actor. I have been an actor, coach, director, and teacher for over 20 years. I started six years ago in the voice-over industry and wanted to create a way to document my journey so other voice over actors could benefit from it.

  • Starting my own business

    Good morning. My name is Stephanie. I am from Ottawa Ontario Canada. I just started listening to your podcast not that long ago and so far I’m loving it.

  • So much good information and wisdom!

    Getting into VO can be a bit overwhelming if you don’t know the Ins and outs of this business and career. Anthony is a great guide for getting into and growing a VO business. Very down to earth and knowledgeable from first hand experiences, everything is explained in an “Everyman” way that anyone can understand and use successfully. A VOs Journey podcasts are a goldmine of wisdom from a VO talent that has been through it. Highly recommend!

  • Very enjoyable and informative!

    I started doing VO about 3 years ago but have not done much in the last year. I have done a couple of audio books through ACX. I work a regular 9 to 5 and am close to retirement so I’m motivated to get in deeper with VO. Thanks for your insight and tips. I’ll keep listening !
