eVOcation 2022 took place last weekend and WOW!! What an amazing, jam-packed 3 days of learning, networking, and fun!! The conference covered so many important topics about the business of voice over, including:

  • Tips to streamline your workflow
  • Web design and SEO best practices
  • A demo review
  • Rates and negotiation tips
  • AI voices
  • The basics of the non-broadcast genre
  • A casting director panel
  • Social media strategies for voice actors
  • A working pros panel
  • Finding your work-life balance
  • Optimizing your online casting profiles
  • Relationships with agents & managers
  • Email marketing advice
  • And SHHHhhh, don’t tell, but a panel discussed Fiverr and similar platforms. I loved the name for this panel: “We don’t talk about Fiverr, No, No!”

Many of these topics were followed by a workshop, where we had the time and guidance to take what we’d learned and put it into practice. Things like creating meta title tags for our websites for better SEO, helping find voice descriptor keywords to use on online casting sites, and discussing time management techniques to help achieve the work-life balance that we want. 

Sometimes these workshops consisted of breakout rooms where we worked in small groups, and other times we worked with the presenters all together. This time was so valuable because we could apply what we learned while it was fresh in our minds. 

Thank you so much to conference organizers Carin Gilfry and Jamie Muffett for providing an excellent program, and thanks also to all of the amazing presenters and panelists for sharing their knowledge and inspiration!! This conference really helped me understand steps that I can take to improve my voiceover business.
