Another great video, Gary! I bit like the $107k man, I started out in 2014. I had some experience as a part time radio broadcaster and DJ, but after visiting you in the studio, I quickly realised I had work to do! It has become a labour of love and have been full time since 2018, and although the pay isn't like the $107k man, I can safely say I am my own boss, I LOVE what I do, and will continue to grow and learn while performing all the types of vo there thank you for all your advice and inspiration.

Thanks for the great video, Gary. I don't think the value of a good coach can be overstated. A coach can be instrumental in helping us understand the unique qualities of our voices, how to use them, and how to best position them in the market. At the end of the day, our voices are our products and our coaches are like business partners in the manufacturing process. I appreciate your videos and straightforward advice!

Thanks Gary, I watch your videos but this is my first comment. How concerned should a newcomer to VO be, in light of the rapid growth in synthetic voices? I've paid for all the equipment and a booth but it's harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel, much harder than it was some months ago and feel like a missed the boat. Essentially, will there still be an industry to profit from in a year or two?
