It’s an interview with Voice Actor and Narrator, Paul Schmidt. This episode is about: What Goes Into A Successful Freelance Career. Paul has decades of experience in radio broadcasting and marketing and has now has transitioned full time to doing voiceover work. 

I’m fascinated by Paul’s work and if I am fascinated by it, I thought maybe you would be too. Paul transparently shares what it takes and what it’s like to be a voiceover talent and how he serves the clients and businesses who hire him.

Even if you aren’t interested in hiring voiceover talent, or becoming a voiceover actor, there is a lot of transferable concepts shared in this interview you will be able to use in other parts of your business.

In this interview, we talk about:

  • Paul shares his experience recording more than 5000 radio commercials and even shares the dinosaur years working with equipment that has been fully digitized today.
  • Although I enjoy hearing Paul’s talented voice, why voice sound is not really what clients are paying for when hiring voice talent. 
  • Paul even generously shares the specific steps he recommends to anyone considering getting into voiceover work. This is advice that crosses non-voiceover work for anyone starting a freelance business.
  • How Paul uses a bathroom as a critical tool in his work. 
  • The place where Paul gets content ideas for his articles, posts, and videos and that place is right in front of you too.
