Here are some inspiring thoughts on our daily tasks as voice over actors, conceived by fellow voice actor Dan Nachtrab. His site is www.dannachtrab.com.

The following is a post I saw somewhere else on the web. I liked it so much I asked if I could reprint here. “Of course you can share it!”, Dan says. ” Here is a version cleaned up, just for you: “

* This is a job. Treat it as such. Put in your eight plus hours a day.
* Thank your spouse for helping you pursue your dream.
* Make a plan and set goals: One Month, Three Months, and so on. When you hit a goal, celebrate it with a gift to yourself.
* Thank your spouse for helping you pursue your dream.
* If the mic is off, the marketing hat is on: networking, SEO, defining your mission statement, labeling mailers, etc.
* Thank your spouse for helping you pursue your dream and buy her a gift. (Massage packages are nice.)
* Practice your craft.
* Be happy. It rubs off on others.
* Only share your successes with your closest, dearest, jump-in-front-of-a-bus-to-save-you friends. Others will knock you down and try to keep you in your current place. Why? You make them realize they gave up on their dreams. (This might include family members, not just friends.)
