Halfway There

A number of giant projects overshadowed most everything I tried to do since the beginning of 2010.

Now both are passed, and I’d like for my regular life (ha!) to get back to normal thank you very much!

One of the events was the presentation Terry Daniel and I did at VOICE2010 on using Social Media to benefit your Voice Over business.  The other was a personal project in building a half-hour video of my recent HS graduate daughter, chronicling her life up to now.  That was actually the bigger task.  Just try reviewing 30 or more 2-hour home videotapes for the gems that DO exist in the footage, and patching them all into one engaging attention-keeping presentation.  LABOR-INTENSIVE!

There IS  a third task ahead…my own HS class 40th reunion (yes, I’m that old)….but helping to plan that has been a joy.

In the midst, I’ve neglected or postponed a number of tasks to grow my VO business that now need dusting-off:
1- revamp the demo website
2- develop the SocialMediaVO.com site to its full potential
3-hunker down to a more regular full-time auditioning process
4-take advantage of a new VO record-keeping process
5-send out invoices of jobs as-yet unpaid
6-build a consolidated opt-in list of VO peers for regular a newsletter
7-plan to travel to Faffcon
8-rip through a long-neglected to-do list of scores neglected duties

It all goes back to that old German proverb I blogged about once: “…rast ich, so rost ich…” IF I REST, I RUST.  Everything about life is changing.  I must too…or be lost to it, and lost IN it.   Living up to such a motto takes a lot of energy.  I’m up to the task….luckily, I’m a high-output worker.

So, what’s going on with YOU and YOUR VoiceOver business mid-year?  How’s the New Year’s Resolution list looking right about now?  Are you taking a long view from time-to-time?   Pull your head out of the P2P auditioning sand for a day, and ask yourself what’s IMPORTANT instead of URGENT.
