The decision to go full time in voice over or not may be the biggest decision you make in your career, and often one not easily made. There are so many things to think about and consider. It can be super confusing, overwhelming, and deflating – if you let it.

When I had this decision to make, I didn’t ask myself all these questions and it almost put me out of business.
