Inside Voice, Season 2, Episode 1 - Put Me In, Coach - I'm Ready To Play!

Welcome back to Inside Voice, where we kick off Season 2 with a deep dive into the world of coaching for voice actors. Hosts Louise Porter and Brad Grochowski return from their hiatus to discuss the evolving role of coaching in their careers and how it can both empower and overwhelm.

Join us as we explore the nuances of coaching, from the benefits of niche-specific guidance to the potential pitfalls of overthinking every read. Brad and Louise candidly share their experiences with various coaches, highlighting the importance of finding the right fit and knowing when to focus on practice versus seeking more instruction.

The episode also touches on the challenges of breaking into competitive genres like commercial voiceover work and the value of continuous learning in less glamorous but steady fields like corporate narration and e-learning.

As always, we invite you to join the conversation. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, your insights and questions are welcome at connect@theinsidevoicepodcast.com.
