Business is always changing, even outside of a year rife with all the things that come out of a pandemic.
What changes have you had to make recently in your business, if any? How are you working to stay relevant in the industry?
I'd love to know!
Here's a recent article I wrote for Stage32 about how I'm doing that as a Voice Actor - https://www.stage32.com/blog/How-to-Run-a-Successful-Voiceover-Business-...

Umm, well... I've had to dissolve my company from Maryland and start anew in California - but that's more because of the move and less because of COVID. I'm also no longer afraid to both speak with and pay for a lawyer. That hourly rate is TOTALLY worth it for checking contracts before you sign anything!

Now it's about a knowing. Like you said in your article, it's business and now more then ever I must treat it as such. I've skilled up with audio (DAW) and now I'm an promo/trailer (writer/edit/producer) As for relevant in the industry...in these times,
finding a way to collaborate with other artists (not limited to vo) actors/directors/writers.
Oooooh good ones, Karen "Kay" Ross!
Love those, Marci Urling. "Skilling up" is such a good way to describe getting better and investing in yourself. Thanks for sharing!
Good read. Always the reminder...you are a business. I love the creative process and collaborating but at the end of the day, it's a business.
