Oh hey there!!  Chloe and Holly are back to fill you in on their weeks that were.....have they been chilled, or drama filled?  You'll have to tune in to find out!

On today's episode the girls share an interview they did with the brilliant Deanna Cooney. Deanna is a career creative whose many hats include actor, voice artist, photographer and coach. She talks openly about the tiers of VO and how you can get past that "meat market" level - hint hint.... you have to get out of your comfort zone! The importance of learning and UNlearning and how hormonal changes can sometimes provide the opportunity to unlearn techniques that aren't working anymore.

As a coach, she shares her views on people having realistic expectations coming into the industry and of being financially literate.  The ladies discuss the importance of being open to the different people you encounter in VO world, and of having a great reciprocal relationship with your agent - frank, clear, honest conversations from the get go - basically like the chat the ladies are having here!

Deanna shares some pearls of wisdom regarding what goes into learning the craft and allllllllll the things that go along with it (performance stuff and business stuff), which is GREAT for newbies but also a good refresher for people who have been in the industry for a while.
