The VO Breakfast Show

Everything is Terrible

Season 1, Ep. 51

What does one do when one's career is going a teency but tits up? Quiet spells, lack of confidence, money woes - welcome to voiceover in 2025! ONLY KIDDING, it's not that bad, even though sometimes it is.


We claw our way through this episode, finding the positives and seizing the initiative, ensuring upper lips remain steadfastly stiff, and carrying on continues in a calm and not at all implosion'ey kinda way.

  • 56. Breakfast Bite Special: Community

    17:40||Season 1, Ep. 56
    How important is community in voiceover? Well I'd argue, very! Particularly if you don't live in a major media hub where there are regular VO events, and it's tough for you to fly to conferences. Join me (Jamie) as I take on this subject solo (ironic much???), discussing the challenging ins and outs of navigating voiceover on your own.Also, I have just launched a new series of small group VO classes (4 students per class over two hours, 3 tiers - Beginner, Intermediate, Professional).

    Why don't we talk about AI in a way that isn't incredibly depressing?!? Yeah?
