How Do You Stay Competitive in Voice Over? “Build Relationships” Says Tori Hartman

March 23, 2009 by: Tracy Pattin

In tomorrow’s podcast (Tuesday, March 24) Voice Talent/Marketing Expert, Tori Hartman continues talking about how to use marketing to stay competitive in the Voice Over world. First marketing step? “Form relationships” says Hartman. To expand on her advice, Tori quotes motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, “If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get what you want.”

Last week we heard from you about how valuable Tori Hartman’s advice was in Part 1 of my interview with her. Voice Actor, Jon Morss, had this to say:

“I think what Tori and the rest at Garage 247 is doing is very cool and something that I have been trying to work with locally where I live. Considering the economy and seeing a long term Recording Studio go under I think it is really important for VO folks to get together and help each other. I’ve had to deal with many VO folks that feel it is dangerous to help others since they feel it will hinder their own career. But, I feel, like Tori, this is hog-wash. I’ve been getting out there and attending various meetings and talking with people in all aspects of acting and VO and I have found that it has done nothing but open more doors. Tori has great insight and I just love her view of the whole VO world. Plus, she has Spike Spenser on her marketing team who is one of my favorite Anime VO talents. I’ve meet him a couple of times and he is great guy that is funnier than a person should be allowed to be. This is podcast is loaded in old iPod and set as a fav.”
Thanks Jon! If you have comments, we’d love to hear from you and from time to time, I will publish them as a blog post and link back to your site!
