The percentage of time spent marketing voice over talents is as important as being in front of the microphone recording. I met a nutritionist yesterday at Lifestyle Rx and she proceeded to tell me she was a representative for a particular health drink product. Our conversation was so interesting sharing tips about achieving optimum health. She was intrigued with my occupation when reading the title on my health history form, so I told her what I did and shared how passionate I am about my craft.
As we finished up our session and said our good byes I realized I missed an opportunity to market myself. How could I have done that? My thinking was, if she is a nutritionist marketing products, certainly they have a marketing campaign promoting the product. CD tutorials for the consumer, for the companies desiring to carry the product in their offices and stores.
Darn! I blew it. Next time I am there I will hand over my business card and plant the seed. I can't miss those moments. It's my livelihood.
