Uncover What an Average Week is Like When Performing Voice Over Work

The punch line is, “There is no typical work week!”

One of the beauties and challenges of doing voice overs is that work tends to ebb and flow depending on the seasons and holidays, as well as your own productivity and networking.

Despite the changes in your weekly work flow, you should still make time every week to network. Contacting potential clients, and touching base with clients you have worked with in the past, is how you will make sure to have as much work as you want at all times of the year.

How far in advance do you prepare for holiday work? Try to always be three months ahead of all major events and holidays. That means that you should now be contacting clients for the Christmas season. By the beginning of November, you should be thinking ahead to Valentine’s Day.

If you are realizing that you passed up the opportunity to get more voiceover work for the winter holidays, go ahead and start contacting clients for the next major wave of holidays. Be the first to get your foot in the door! Also be sure to keep an eye on events that might change from one year to the next, such as Sweeps.

When you start to get the hang of the yearly work flow, you will be able to plan ahead to dry spells more accurately. For example, January and February tend to be relatively slow periods for national commercial spots. Being able to predict a slower work flow will let you be more responsible with your voiceover business planning, as well as help you relax when you do not have a lot of work to do!

Preparing for a light load of national commercial spots does not necessarily mean you will not be working much. Take advantage of the down time by concentrating on networking within your local community. Local companies do not need to plan ahead three months in advance. Balancing your efforts and planning ahead is how you will stay as busy as you want to be!
