Whether is be on the subject of rights on a platform like Fiverr, the usage of a day-to-day voiceover client or a buyout on a big on-screen commercial, it is critical to know what you are agreeing to. Perpetuity agreements do not just relinquish your right - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-39-exploration-2/) - Offering a license to service basically means that the buyer does not own the product but can use it for a period of time. The ‘Rights’ to the product remain the property of the person who delivered the service (in this instance, the voice actor). Fiverr is an interesting one for this because its’ site - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-39-exploration-1/) - A buyout is used more regularly with screen content and less with voiceover. If it is used in voiceover, it is usually because it’s a massive TV ad that is coming with a large budget.

Do not worry – this is just for practice. If you do want it to go live on your site (which is a good habit to get into) then have your developer show you how to upload blogs. They can also critique your document as - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-15-exploration-2/) - The next thing to consider is the SEO title. How does this differ from the normal title? Well, your normal ‘H1’ title will appear at the top when someone clicks the link. The SEO title on the other hand is what you see when you are scrolling through the list of sites on Google. You - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-15-exploration-1/) - Your key phrase needs to appear at least once every 200-300 words. A key phrase is the phrase you want the article to be recognized by from Google. So, for example, if your key phrase is ‘Video Game Voiceover’ you would need to include this every 200-300 words. Next up you need to ensure that - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-15-course-introduction/) - In this module we will cover how you can make simple steps towards boosting your website’s SEO without spending any more. First let's contextualize. To really hit SEO hard, you do have to invest into proper support. But that said there is a lot you can be doing which does not cost any money and - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-15-application/) - Using what you have learnt across all of your previous modules, write a 600-word article of your choosing. Ensure you give it H1 and H2 titles along by identifying your key phrase. Include that in your SEO title and your meta description. Note: Its best you don’t do this within the module but instead on - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-14-upon-completion/) - the next module is all about helping you with your SEO. - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-14-resources/) - Don’t have a good e-signature and want one?

They made ours! - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-14-exploration-2/) - So, if the traffic is not coming organically, does that mean it can come ‘inorganically’? Well, this is kind of true, yes. All the time you invest into building your potential client list will at some point drive traffic to your website. Every email will have your website in the e-signature and when having the - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-14-exploration-1/) - In this article we won't lean too much on the SEO stuff but that will come up in the next module immediately after this one. But to understand the basics of website traffic from an organic sense, a lot of traffic will come via Google should you be high enough in the rankings. Google ads - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-14-course-introduction/) - The most hassle-free and easiest way for you to pick up some work is by people coming to your site and booking you from there. Imagine this, rather than paying for p2p subscription fees or spending hours of research when making an email campaign, instead, someone comes to you looking to give you paid work. - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-14-application/) - If you do not have an e-signature yet, you need to make one, even if it's as short as: Best regards, Kyle Walker It needs to be consistent across all of your correspondences. Additionally, it's time to get a pro to look at your website to offer any tweaks or amendments. Make sure it is - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-13-upon-completion/) - the next module is all about website traffic! - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-13-resources/) - The truth is you can send as many cover letters and follow-ups as you like but at some point, you need to call it quits. At this point, you understand the writing style, consistency and important elements. You know to relate to their challenges and offer solutions to their problems. You know to keep it - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-13-exploration-2/) - So, if the above was not enough for them, they are going to notice a nice little attachment on this follow up! Let's continue with our ending statement, sign-off and P.S. (never forget the P.S.) ‘’So, as you can see, I enjoy what I do tremendously and I would love to be a resource to - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-13-exploration-1/) - This cover letter is a bit longer then the last as at this point, they may feel bad about not getting back to you previously if it was an intention at all. Again, we remind them who we are to start with, so we continue that feeling of familiarity, and then we delve into the - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-13-course-introduction/) - Another month goes by and you still do not have a reply from a collection of your clients – do not worry! That is still normal. That said, if you have written to more than 20 people or companies, I would have expected 1 or 2 replies by now so if you have only written - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-12-upon-completion/) - the next module is the follow-up to the follow-up module. - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-12-resources/) - Note how elements of this are a little more formal than others. When we hit the follow-up letters, we want to give a bit more of ourselves away in the communications. We need it to feel like they already know us and that the relationship is already there. That is why social media and networking - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-12-exploration-2/) - So it looks like our follow up cover letter is already complete right? Wrong! We have missed one of the crucial ingredients! The sign off and the P.S. After the last paragraph you want to thank them and move on to a P.S. which helps them source you. They do not have time to raft - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-12-exploration-1/) - So, to start things off, you want to remind them who you are. If they think this is another one-off email, then it may end up in the trash. But if we refer back to our last letter on the opening line, it might be enough to jog their memory. The likelihood is, they at - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-12-course-introduction/) - So, you did not get a response to your initial mail out, no problem! The results are often smaller on the first outreach and it’s a bit of a numbers game; the more people you email, the more responses you get. The power lies in the follow-up and the follow-ups of your follow-ups. This takes - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-11-upon-completion/) - the next module is our cover letter follow up module! - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-11-resources/) - The goal is to get a response with this first mail blast. Sure we invite to a coffee but more often or not they wont take you up on it. If they do, it’s a good investment, but if not it’s likely just to be a casual conversation online. Sometimes they may just add you - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-11-exploration-2/) - Now we have done the basics, let’s venture into the heart of this. Off the back of what we have wrote so far the time has come to move on to the second paragraph. You need to make it easy to engage! Here is the example: “What slots do you have next week? I would - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-11-exploration-1/) - With all of these cover letters, we won’t provide you the subject, that one is on you but keep it short and sweet like ‘Awesome Snowboard Video.’ So let’s start with the introduction, you need to write one line saying who you are and what you love about them, their website or their social media - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-11-course-introduction/) - It Is almost time to start reaching out to your dream client list. Be it a collection of agents, animators or video game developers! Hey, it could even be a combination of all of them. A powerful cover letter is not just important, it’s critical! This is the difference between standing out from the crowd - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-10-upon-completion/) - the next module is our first cover letter module! Finally, we are here! Let’s do it! - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-10-resources/) - When it comes to reaching out to potential clients and also meeting them in person, things need to flow! Being as casual as possible is very important because you don’t want to come across as pushy, desperate or worst of all… weird! Be it on a group, page or at an in-person event, it is - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-10-exploration-2/) - Remember that list of potential clients you made? Well, if you want to meet these people, you should probably go along to events they are at. It is likely that they will even have a speaking role at these events. How else will you know when these events take place? Well, the only way to - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-10-exploration-1/) - Let’s start with Facebook. Facebook is jam packed with a huge number of groups and pages all about voice acting. Just type voice acting into the search bar and you will see a multitude of them. Every day you should be having a quick look at these pages as oftentimes, people put casting notices on - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-10-course-introduction/) - This is a two-in-one module with one distinctive feature. In this module you will learn the tools needed to network and navigate Facebook as well as what to do in respects to in-person events. How do these two relate together? Great question – let’s find out together. - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-10-application/) - Todays task is to search for different voiceover groups and pages on Facebook. Get involved with as many as you can and begin looking through the content and interacting with the topics. Over time you will see auditions appearing on there, when you do – jump on it! Additionally, start looking at the events function - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-9-upon-completion/) - the next module is our Facebook and Events module. - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-9-resources/) - Emailing the general hello@ email address on websites is not going to get you very far. Be it with an agent or a dubbing company like Crunchyroll. What you really need is to do your research, find out who works what role, and reach out to them bringing value as opposed to issues. We will - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-9-exploration-2/) - LinkedIn allows you to search for companies and in turn shows you who is working for that company. However, you can take this one step further by using a plugin called ‘ContactOut’. ContactOut will appear in your Chrome browser and when you click it you will be given the details of the person you are - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-9-exploration-1/) - Though it is important to keep an eye on the platform for general casting, I don’t believe that to be the main focus of this module. You can at any point do research on the platform and set up notifications. A better use of your time in this module is to explore how to communicate - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-9-course-introduction/) - LinkedIn has that persona of being very professional, doesn’t it? Well, that’s mainly because it is! It does not latch onto gossip or drama, it does not lean towards news and events. The purpose of the platform is to permit professionals to interact with professionals in their field. The notion that everyone has something to - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-9-application/) - Your task this week is to download ‘ContactOut’ and to start having a go with it: https://contactout.com/chrome-extension You are limited to how many times you can use it each day under the free subscription so be intentional with it. From that point, begin developing and refining your potential client list with this tool but do - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-8-upon-completion/) - the next module is our LinkedIn and Plugins module! - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-8-resources/) - Having lists allows you to ensure that you are keeping up with those you want to connect with. You can ‘occasionally’ like, share and comment on their content. As long as you do it casually and not frequently over time, they may become familiar with you and in turn, allowing a relationship to form. - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-8-exploration-2/) - Next we will look at how to make lists. First search the name of a person or company that you would like to add to a list. Then click the three dots to the right of their image for the list options. At this point it will ask you to add the company or person - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-8-exploration-1/) - Step one is to log in and then look at the tool bar on the left-hand side. You will see the lists option there. Next you will see lists that the site recommends for you as well as your own lists which you have made prior. This is how you view lists. - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-8-course-introduction/) - X (formerly known as Twitter) has an amazing marketing tool that many do not even know is there and that is the wonderful power of lists! This function is exactly as you would imagine - you make lists with it. Lists of what though? Simply put – people! You can categorise them into whatever list - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-8-application/) - Making lists will help you cultivate the names of agents and companies that you have been researching for the last couple of months. It also allows you to take those who you have written down on your spreadsheet and to add them to one place. So, with that said, be it a remake of your - [Upon Completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-7-upon-completion/) - the next module is our X (formerly known as Twitter) lists. - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-7-resources/) - This week's example is leaning on fandom to a degree but the example is solid. It has everything you need, and you can break it up like this: - Say hello (Hey!) - Who are you (my name is H. Simpson!) - One or two fun things about you (I love donuts and I am - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-7-exploration-2/) - So, let's look at each ad platform one at a time: Facebook: Facebook for many years has been a strong and stable platform for ads. It allows you to measure your reach based on the amount paid and target audience. The functionality allows you to fine-tune the ad in a manner that you are being - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-7-exploration-1/) - The important thing to understand with ads is you can go gently. The more you spend, the wider net you cast. That said, having a wide net is not always a good thing, because often you can appeal to a demographic that has nothing to do with the industry. The ads work on algorithms and - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-7-course-introduction/) - Ads seem like something you would expect a big company to do right? So why then are we talking about them in this program? Simply put, now you are a working voice actor, you are a self-employed entity. You are a business. Big or small, it does not matter – you are a business. That - [Upon Completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-6-upon-completion/) - the next module is our Facebook, Google and TikTok ads module. - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-6-resources/) - For now, keep your potential clients in a spread sheet. There is more to marketing than what we have covered in this module which you will learn as the weeks go by. Being able to interact with these clients is one of them, and we will teach you how starting in the next module. - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-6-exploration-2/) - On to writing to potential clients and agents. At this point, you’ve had a good scope of what an agent does and who you want to work with in the wonderful world of voiceover. The key is not just to aim for the big brands but to aim at any that will pay you in - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-6-exploration-1/) - Let’s start with social media! The key with social media is a two-pronged attack. The first is to decide if you want to have everything in one account; personal and business or two separate ones. The second approach is to decide what sort of content you want on there. For example, when you book a - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-6-course-introduction/) - You are very much out of the introductory phase of this program and are now reaching the thick of it. This is very exciting! A lot of people get scared by the word marketing and it can trigger different thoughts. Perhaps you think of marketing as a bunch of experts planning an approach around a - [Upon completion](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-5-upon-completion/) - the next module will be all about marketing! - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-5-resources/) - You might have realised that there are only three sites listed in this module, well this is because there are not many casting sites out there. The market now leans heavily towards p2p sites. That said, there are more than three in existence but these three are good examples of very different and yet successful - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-5-exploration-2/) - Now onto the cons: www.voicebooking.com - this platform typically works with higher paying clients – wait, why is that a con and not a pro? Well, it is a pro BUT the issue they have is that there is not an abundance of work because of it. www.thevoicefinder.com - once you have paid and got - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-5-exploration-1/) - Let’s start with the pros: www.voicebooking.com – on this site you pay nothing. When you book a job, the platform will take a short commission out of what you earn. No joining fee and no subscription required. www.thevoicefinder.com - this site is interesting because on the front cover you pay $10 a month. So technically - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-5-course-introduction/) - Casting sites take the stress out of having to fork out a ton of money just to have the opportunity to look and audition for work. They generally feel more professional and they certainly offer a better quality product when it comes to work. A lot of the low-ball jobs don’t tend to make it - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-5-application/) - Two of the three sites above are totally free for you to join. So, your task this week is simple – join them. Make your profile, upload your headshot and demos. Fill out the bio and get yourself a solid profile on these platforms. Then, when you have done that, continue researching casting sites and - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-20-exploration-2/) - Before you begin recording, you also need to consider your intro phrase to get you into the right style. To some degree, this will be directed by some of the decisions you’ve made when doing your script breakdown. In the past we have used ‘Hey Mom’ but the likelihood of having just sold your Mom - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-20-exploration-1/) - As always, do your usual 3-step script breakdown method before tackling this next script. Here we have ‘Allstate Insurance’ and the message is being communicated after the purchase. So, from a sales perspective, the hard part is done! Note that it’s about communicating the information. ‘’Congratulations, you just bought Allstate Homeowners Insurance. And now, if - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-19-exploration-2/) - Well, if that sounds like too much effort, money, or simply is just not convenient for your living situation do not worry. Some people build booths under their beds, stairs, or even in their closets. Others would prefer to have a portable vocal booth that they can put up and take down as they like. - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-19-exploration-1/) - Well, your first alternative is to just build your own vocal booth rather than buying one. There are some phenomenal sound engineers out there who can help you with this but where possible, you want to isolate the quietest part of your house to do this in. If that so happens to be the corner - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-18-exploration-1/) - Okay, here we go! Below we have the car company Ford! To prepare you for this week’s recording, start by doing your usual script breakdown. This time we will not be providing you with the first line but that's okay, you can do it! ‘’All Hybrids are not created equal. Unlike the competition’s mild hybrids, - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-17-exploration-2/) - We have already begun exploring websites in module 11 and we will have two more modules on this for modules 39 and 43. Here are some things to consider that separate it from a website outside of voiceover. There are some key things a voice actor needs on their sites: - Demos - Headshots - - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-17-exploration-1/) - One of the elements which is specific to the voice acting business is how agents operate. Outside of entertainment an agency is where you expect to go to be contracted out for work. Agencies in entertainment aren’t too dissimilar, however in practice, they are worlds apart. Agents will work with casting directors and keep a - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-3-application/) - The key to getting booked is through the agents who work with your dream casting director. That said, it is a good idea to know who the casting directors are over the jobs you want to get. If its big names like Pixar, Dream Works or Disney – you can rest assured the names of - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-3-course-introduction/) - Casting directors are typically pretty challenging to connect with in the voiceover world and a lot of artists go about it the wrong way. Understanding the role of a casting director is important and in this module we will explain the dos and dont’s of how to navigate that relationship. - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-2-application/) - In module 11, 12 and 13 we are going to go through how to write a good cover letter and follow up. At that point you should start a 3 month campaign to get yourself signed with an agent. Until then, it’s time to expand your agent list further. Continuing to get emails, phone numbers - [Course Introduction](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-2-course-introduction/) - Though you will have learnt a lot about agents in the previous course ‘The Voice Actor Start Up Program,’ in this module we will look at how to approach an agent and what the day to day life of an agent looks like. To start us off it’s important to note a few things. The - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/business-module-1-application/) - If you completed the previous Voice Actor Startup Program it is time to get your list of agents out. However, if you are new to this, your first task will be to research Agents both local and afar, working in the fields that you desire to work in (examples: Commercial, Anime etc…) Once you have - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-16-exploration-2/) - You will notice that most interfaces will advertise how many ‘channels’ they have. Channels are basically how many items the interface can facilitate. For example, a musician may have a guitar and a microphone plugged into their interface. Interestingly a lot of companies do offer one-channel interfaces. That’s all you need as a voice actor, - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-16-application/) - Revisiting the list of audio interfaces that you made on Module 5, it is time to pick the ideal one for you. It is recommended that you pick something with at least two channels and a good reference point from a cost perspective would be anything over $100. A good action if you are still - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-16-exploration-1/) - Unlike microphones, upgrading audio interfaces is less common - that’s not to say it does not happen but it is less common. So, lets sum up what an audio interface does. Effectively via an XLR cable, it will take the audible voice the microphone has picked up and convert it into something a computer can - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-15-resources/) - An important consideration with auditioning for this type of video game is not just based on the fact you were not provided a back story or image but more that the character is completely different to ‘Sephiroth’ from module 12. Video Games, like Anime, have so many different sub-genres and as a reminder, some of - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-15-exploration-2/) - Due to the fact you do not have much in the way of a stimulus for this character, before recording it is important to build a back story. Different voice actors take this to different extents of detail, and my advice is whilst in training, more is better. As time goes on you will find - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-15-exploration-1/) - Using our script breakdown method: ‘Intention,’ ‘Subtext’ and ‘Artistic Decision,’ your task later in the module will be to break up the script below. As always, I have taken the first line for you. The only stimulus I am going to give you is the name of this audition piece which is ’Cool Scientist Character.’ - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-13-exploration-2/) - You are almost ready to record! Before we do however, we need to think about the subtext as well as your artistic decisions. I have expanded on Charlie and Annie’s first lines below as an example: Charlie: ‘’Oh, what do we have here?’’ Intention: Asking a question Subtext: Subtle surprise which is controlled as he - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-11-resources/) - In our later website modules, we will talk more about reviews, client lists, head shots, tabs, blogs, SEO and more. For now, you can see lots of great voice actor websites by visiting some of our associates at both www.voiceactorwebsites.com and www.voiceactor.com Don’t begin building a website yet but do look at the work they - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-11-application/) - The application for this module might be one that takes a good period of time. You do however have plenty of time to complete this task before we reach our next website lesson in module 39. Ready for when you begin building your own website, you are going to need at least one demo, a - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-11-exploration-2/) - So, what makes a website great? Well first, it’s not something you can easily cheap out on. Sure, you can get a website made for hundreds as opposed to thousands but over time it is a good idea to invest back into the site. The more you put into the site, the more you will - [Exploration 1](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-11-exploration-1/) - The reason voice actors need a website is to showcase their abilities. Each genre in voiceover demands its own demo with commercials being the first one usually obtained due to its dynamic nature. Your website will showcase your demos. But it offers much more than that! You can add your own style and flavour to - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-10-exploration-2/) - Animations have so many different styles and types of characters too. When you put Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson next to each other there is a profound difference. From a voice actor perspective, the need to be believable is no truer in any other genre of voiceover than animation. Young children are the masters of - [Application](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-38-application/) - This module's task is very exciting because it is time to make your website!

Hopefully, by the time your demos come, you will have completed your own website - [Resources](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-9-resources/) - When doing this in a recording session, it is fairly normal to get the emotes at the end of the session and not at the beginning. This is because it can hurt your voice. If you are hurting your voice, you need to stop and rest. Some believe this is an occupational hazard that is - [Exploration 2](https://www.thevoiceactorcollege.com/unit/module-8-exploration-2/) - Your first task for this module is a simple one: just mentally make a note of when you hear someone narrating.
