A video on how to go about finding work, mainly in one's own community, would be very helpful.

Hi! Would like to hear more about the importance of a demo at the very beginning. Specifically, where do you get the scripts to make your audiobook demos for ACX? Rent books from the library, and choose different genres to use for demos? Listen to several audiobooks, and choose which ones to use for your demo? Should the words be verbatim when you're creating your demo? Please do another demo video! I am a new subscriber, and watching your videos everyday!

I work full time and looking to do VO on the side. I am familiar with audio processing but a step by step video on recording and what you do to the track all the way to getting the track to the client would be helpful. I have not seen a video on your channel with that process.

Hey Bill! Thanks for the videos, they really got me into VO. Since you're asking for questions for videos. could you make a video about how to get VO work from a specific group of customers? I always hear about you mentioning having lots of spokes on your wheel, but how do you get those spokes? How do you find that guy that you give a call and offer your work to? How do you find the behind the scenes people that want you to do work for them? Thanks a lot for the time.

Loving the videos and information. There's one thing that always seems to be a stumbling block for me, especially when just starting a new venture and that is the creation of the legal business. I know what's best for everyone's situation might be different, but could you spend some time going over the business side of things a bit? For example, you've mentioned your business is incorporated. Is that class S or class C? Can you explain why you chose that over the other business types? Can VO be an LLC or Freelance (doing business as...)? At what point did you (or should others consider) creating that business? What kind of liability/risk could a VO talent face that we need to be mindful of? How do you keep your recorded files organized and tied to the invoicing? Any suggestions on file naming conventions and what has worked for you? How are you tracking projects, revenue, and expenses? Thanks in advance for the information.

How do I protect my voice as a VO. Some of the characters I play are warriors that do a fair bit of yelling…grunting…after a read I have a bit of a sore throat.

I really love the work you are putting out there to help new people like us to get into VO. I am wondering can you help give us ideas to where to start like sites, or where to look?

Hi Bill. I often watch your great videos. Could you please tell me, when did you switch to a 416 microphone? Is it because it is an improvement over the Neumann TLM103 you have used for a long time?

Hi Coach Bill. I am new to the voiceover world. I am working on a demo. I took an old Sony commercial and thought I can use it. Would there be any copyright issues or no because it is for demo purposes? Thanks, Robert

How do I find voice over business in a small town? Right now I produce commercials for a small local radio station.

Hello Bill, I believe you may have covered the start up cost of becoming a VO artist. I really need help, getting going on this. I have voice for VO, so I've been told. I don't have the space to set up a studio. I reside in an apartment. Any help, would be greatly appreciated thanks. Keep up the good job

What or who determines that my "sound" is good or bad? After setting EQ, compression, normalizing, etc, isn't the final result of what sounds good or not, subjective???

Working on voice over as a side hustle? I'm a college student, and I'm working part time at a cafe, but ever since I was sixteen I wanted to get into voice over, and recently that desire reserved and I was thinking about how I can graduate build a VO brand for myself on the side
