Tim Odofin always wanted to work in the media, but his day job was in local government. 

For years he would do voiceovers on the side of his job, often starting early, working late and even through lunch breaks. Finally, with a year’s buffer of cash saved up he decided it was now or never. It was time to go full-time freelance.

That was three years ago and it wasn’t the savings that got him through - it was the relationships he’d invested in.

Time to get Tim behind the mic, not for a voiceover, but to share his story of being freelance.
