The Secret to Voiceover Marketing + Branding

This week on the VO School Podcast, we’re discussing how an actor markets and brands themselves in 2017 and beyond. How you present yourself to the world can make or break your career and we discuss the various approaches that can help you to stand out in a crowded field.
What’s the difference between branding and marketing? How soon should you start your marketing journey? What are the gatekeepers looking for when they choose talent? And what are the major no-nos and turn-offs that will hinder your chances?
