As I’ve developed as an actor and spent countless hours auditioning and taking scene study classes, I’ve stopped worrying about memorizing my lines. I now have a technique that gets me reliable, consistent results.

Producing an audiobook is a lot of work, and for those who are still learning their workflow, it can become overwhelming quickly. With this post, I’ll explain how I set my audiobook production goals and limits.

A common saying in the acting business is “your job isn’t booking the role, your job is auditioning”, and it’s true. You’ll spend more time auditioning for projects than you will working on projects. Working as an actor is a numbers game and the more you audition, the higher your chances of getting into the booth, on set, or on the stage.

Voice acting is more than just speaking into a microphone or making funny voices. It’s about maintaining your body as an instrument and building your business. In order to make sure you can spend long hours in the booth (and get enough jobs to actually get into it), you need to have healthy behaviours that give you the strength, endurance, and flexibility you need.
