Answer
I focus on two big themes in slow periods: business infrastructure and skill building.
From my holiday and “off‑mic” videos, here are the top strategies I recommend:
- Tackle business housekeeping: bookkeeping, rate sheets, contracts, CRM, inbox cleanup, file organization
- Refresh marketing: update demos, website, profiles, branding, and outbound marketing lists
- Strategize: set income and audition goals, plan quarterly actions, review what worked this year
- Train: copy workouts, genre practice, directed coaching, and study current ads/VO trends
- Network: online meetups (like my Virtual Voiceover Exchange), social media engagement, client check‑ins
What’s your biggest struggle during slow periods: motivation, organization, or not knowing what to work on first?
