So always make sure you're working with someone reputable. But I would say doing that, honing your skills and also getting practice with auditions because auditioning is most of the job of a voice actor. I audition way more than I book. And that's the case for all of us. So I get to voice these cool characters. Right.

But most of the time I'm just like in my booth saying something about some kind of corporate thing. training or something like not the exciting stuff. Right. So, yeah, it's I always vouch for training first. And then once you have that experience of learning and you feel more comfortable, then you can start putting your work out there, like posting samples of your work.

Getting a demo reel is a big step once you're ready for that, because that's what you send off to agents and people that you market to, like ad agencies, production companies, et cetera, et cetera. So it's really just honing your skills. If you like social media, do that. That's what I do. I've fallen off a little bit because, oh, my gosh, social media has become a nightmare.

Um, yeah, it's, it's a very competitive field. I think like any creative field. Um, but I, I will say, I think overall the community is pretty nice. They're pretty, uh, they cheer each other on. I do think there's some of that fake niceness. That's always the case with social media, right? You can't just be like, I can't believe that you got this and not me. Cause then you look like that. Sorry.

But I think for me, I genuinely get a lot out of cheering other people on because I have the mindset that the roles that are meant for me are going to come to me. If they're not meant for me, my friend's going to get them. You know what I mean? So it's about the mindset that you have. I do think it's hard.
