Jen Rudin writes a series of sage advice on voice acting in one of the latest posts from Backstage .
Go check out what she has to say, but the end of her article identifies the summary of her top five list:
If you want to be a professional actor, you must act like a professional. Practice etiquette and manners and save the crazy tweets and funny Instagram photos for other parts of your life.
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves Jen!

Terry O’R
eilly has been a MUST LISTEN personality way back when he gave us O’Reilly on Advertising, and then The Age of Persuasion and now Under the Influence.
O’Reilly is a kingpin of advertising as owner and operator of Pirate Toronto and Pirate New York, his studio is the largest production studio that’s not from a major movie production company. O’Reilly simply knows his stuff. He knows how persuasion is made in advertising, and what’s more, he loves radio.
I had the opportunity to see Mr. O’Reilly when he was at his book signing in Halifax. I got to tell him about The Sonic Society and he was thrilled. Apparently, he’s a lover of radio drama. Who knew? Well, we do. Because those with taste always reach for the best in audio.
Speaking of the best, have a listen to this recent show about how Radio Still Makes Waves. It could give you some incredible ideas to market your own show. Then subscribe to Under the Influence for a ton more!
