This is one of your LAST CHANCES to enroll in this workshop series AND learn how you can market directly to prospects without being sleazy, salesy, or manipulative.

To help you build the voiceover business you’ve always dreamed of… but often doubted was even possible.

After doing the recap of 2024, I confirmed yet again what has proven year-in and year-out to be by far my most successful strategy for growing my VO business.

Marketing directly to prospects was responsible for attracting and generating more revenue than any other strategy or tactic I use. More than my multiple national agents, SEO, and P2Ps combined! And again last year, it wasn't even close.

And it makes sense! Research from NAVA clearly shows that the more you market, the more you make.

And if you’ve ever considered starting or growing your direct marketing, you may be making some of the mistakes I see others make (most of which I made myself).

Mistakes like…

Using messaging that talks all about you and what you can do and how great you are

Spending hours upon hours finding, researching, and reaching out to prospects

Not marketing consistently and not following up consistently

Not knowing the right people to reach out to and wasting time reaching out to the wrong people

Getting tagged as a spammer and having your messages not even delivered to your prospects (and not even knowing it!)

And of course, struggling to generate more leads, more roster adds, more auditions, and more opportunities for work that create regular, recurring revenue!

Failure to address these mistakes and you run the risk of spending a lot of time (and money!) spinning your wheels and creating messaging that no one reads and doesn’t grow your business.

It is for this very reason I’ll be hosting a LIVE 3-Part Workshop showing you exactly How Top Voice Actors REALLY Market to Book 6 Figures Consistently, starting starting Thursday, February 20th!

Why marketing directly to prospects is the fastest, most effective, and most stable way to grow your business(and the research that proves it)

The Five Pillar Principles of marketing directly to prospects

The single biggest problem in the VO industry today and your biggest problem so that you get a grip on just how pervasive and common it is

The single truth upon which I built my VO business, so that you understand its power

What voice actors are afraid of, so that you can dismantle the fear and move past it

What’s at stake for voice actors who don’t build a successful business​

Why clearly identifying your ideal clients and best prospects is crucial to your marketing

How to laser-target those people: the ones who get your value, respect your time, and pay pro rates

Specific methods to understand their problems and pain points so you can tailor your messaging and stand out in the best way

And the best part, it’s ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Plus, at the end of this free training event, we'll open the doors to our VO Freedom Master Plan Program. Register now below to get updates. Yes, the trainings will be recorded, but you must register to get access to the replays.

Attention: #sagaftra and Non-Union Voice Actors - You may be missing out on work, benefits, and more.

One of the biggest questions around “going union” is potentially having to give up non-union work. Did you know there’s another option?

Converting work from non-union to union!

If you're confused or under-informed about converting work (I am, that's why we're doing this), join voice actor, producer, President of NAVA, and SAG-AFTRA Signatory, Tim Friedlander, as he demystifies the process (it’s way easier than you might think for you and your clients), the players, and the potential for you to earn more as a union talent.

Join us for this webinar on Tuesday, February 13 at 1pm ET. Two weeks from today!

Seats are still available. Register now at vopro.pro/converting-work-webinar
