Hi, I’m from . How can I help?

From what I teach and what I talk about in my videos, here are some of the biggest patterns I see:

On demos:

  1. Sending demos to agencies before they’re truly broadcast‑quality or professionally produced
  2. One “do‑everything” demo instead of targeted demos (commercial, narration, promo, etc.)
  3. Poor editing: bad pacing, sloppy cuts, inconsistent volume
  4. Copy that sounds generic or “demo-y,” not like real spots
  5. Too long, or your best work buried in the middle

On websites/branding:

  1. Using generic templates and never customizing them, so you look like every other talent
  2. Inconsistent branding between logo, colors, demo style, and messaging
  3. Sites that make it hard to immediately play or download your demo
  4. Focusing on “I love doing voices!” instead of what you solve for clients

If you’d like, I can walk through your current demo or site structure and point out what I’d tweak first.
