I've been asked to attend their national convention in NYC today to speak to students & aspiring professionals. What kind of advice should I give?

Keep it real. But keep it positive. You have a great story to tell about you.
Have fun with it and good luck.

- That it's not all about the voice
- study marketing
- learn about different subjects as you'll need a good vocabulary
- read aloud everyday
- and...actually Todd...accounting too 'cause ya gotte know how to keep your books!
- don't be a Diva (that applies to guys too!) Get Lost

- make friends 'cause this biz is all about relationships.

It's a start! Laugh

Don't carry all your money in your wallet. Carry large bills in your bra.
... that would be for the ladies at the convention.

Deep sea welding pays really really well.

I had a GREAT time last night! I talked to a few dozen college students from around the country about the VO industry. They were bright, eager, and asked some great questions. It was fun!
