When you create a new character you need to keep them organized. How do you keep them from mixing into the others? #KeepingOrganized #TheVoicesInYourMind #HowToGoThePlace

Posturing allows you to get into different moods and to physically be able to reproduce only certain sounds. #GettingIntoCharacter #StayingHealthy #TheFaceSaysItAll

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

To help avoid getting in a rut in making a character, focus on a background, symbol, or archetype that symbolizes the essence of the character. #TheClassClown #TheBoyWhoLived #TheBatLight

Places where you could do character voices: Videos, animations, audiobook novels, children toys, radio spots, video games, webisodes, elearning projects, apps, phone system/ intercom announcements. #ExpandYourHorizon #PlentyofWork #PersonalMarketing

Whether you realize it or not, any script that is read for a commercial, narration, and many other genres is actually wanting you to be a character. Obviously, most of these characters wont be like they're from a cartoon, but there is still a form you need to fit. #VOlife #Acting

@Voquent I always start with a compliment and then follow that up with a open-ended question about what I just complimented.

Always be collecting material to practice with. Preparation is best with the best material, so keep copies of auditions for your practice and growth. #GatheringMaterials #BestIngredients #PerfectPracticeGrowsToPerfection

When looking for continual development, find instruction in the saying, "When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Take any opportunity to put your skills in action. #SharpenTheSaw #BeIntentional #StriveToDoMore

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

When wanting to learn and grow in a skill, find someone or something that demonstrates that skill. If you can't find someone who can train or mentor, find sources of professional work that you can analyze. For VO listen to ads on TV or on Internet and try to imitate them. #growth

People will say that you determine your destiny. You determine your destination or destiny by making choices that become habits. Then, your habits become the determining factor in what your destination or destiny becomes. #FocusOnHabits #SuccessIsAHabit #ChooseSuccess

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

Consistency in putting in dedicated and intentional effort towards preparing and training will set you apart from others. First thing that comes with consistency is scheduling and planning. #Planning #takecontrol #Businesslife #BeProductiveNotBusy

When talking to Clients about jobs, find out their budgets. Make sure your willing to work with them within their budgets. By helping them, they will help you. Take extra time to know what they are expecting. #KeepToTheBudget #Service #FocusOnOthers

A good text to read when looking for how to build your clients with a long term view is The GO-Giver. A main point that it shares is that if you want to receive, Give. Add value to those you serve and that value added will come back to you someway, somehow. #FocusOnThem #Give #VO

To help build lasting relationships with clients, the saying "Under Promise, Over Deliver" will be a great motto to live by. This helps you have integrity by keeping your word and sticking to what has been agreed upon. #Integrity #KeepYourPromise #BusinessTips

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

A key to building lasting relationships with clients is to make sure that you deliver quality time and time again. Allowing your history to show you can and will provide, they will keep coming back for more. #BuildingYourBusiness #Trust #RelationshipGoals #Constant

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

For building lasting relationships with clients, first impressions can make or break the opportunity. One suggestion to making a good impression is that when your self marketing offer a free 30-60 job. This allows them to try you out without obligation, this builds rapport.

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

Another Happy Client!!! This was a good stretch for me and gave me a lot to learn and refine in terms of workflow and performance. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you!

[RussellRogersVO @RussRogers_VO]

Fake it til' you make it often helps you move forward. In VO when it comes to accents this rarely helps. Make sure you have a believable accent before you do it for an audition.
