This week I hit 2 amazing milestones thanks to an amazing audience of voice over artists that I am dedicated to serve 🙏🏾 My #youtubechannel hit 15K subscribers and my brand new #voiceover community that I just began about 30 days ago hit 100 followers! This only occurred because of consistency and actually listening to my audience on #Youtube and digging in with the voice over community of people really looking to start, build, and grow a successful voice over business. I sincerely want to thank all of you for the encouragement and support of our #grindanddontquit movement 👊🏾

Thanks guys for helping me select the book cover. I am really happy with it. The Guy I selected on Fiverr was really great and I will definitely be using him again. I am excited to be working on this book and will be releasing it no later that March!

My oldest Daughter came over and we put up the Acoustic Foam on the ceiling in my booth! It took way longer that we had planned because the command strips didn't stick to the foam so I had to be creative and use some Elmer's Multi-Purpose spray Adhesive. I'm so happy it's finally done!

#Finding Your Niche That makes sense! In finding what I'm good at and if It's what I love, I won't quit! Work wont be work, it'll be like I'm playing every day!

Table of Contents INTRODUCTION Step 1 - Make a Decision Step 2 - Buy A Mic Step 3 - Download A DAW Step 4 - Record your voice and edit the audio Bonus Step - Now start Getting Work What are maybe some things you would like to see included in these 5 chapters

As we enter the final hours of our time here and as we all are better than when we arrived, I look forward to the future. We have gained tools that will allow all of us to enjoy success as we move onward. No matter where we go , regardless of the manner in which ( the who what when wheres and whys) we will always be here for each other and always share this bond . I personally look forward to the day I watch TV, the radio etc,,and hear each and everyone I've learned here with. I am always here and available for anyone who needs me Wether at the Facebook page, the new Saturday zoom or via email ( wellmoderatedvo@gmail.com) Grace and Peace to all...

This coming Saturday, May 13th will be the final opportunity for everyone to attend the Live AMA sessions that we have been having every Saturday. Also the last day for this group, sadly will be Monday, May 22nd. However, @Michael Ray will be doing an amazing live Zoom session every Saturday at 1 pm EST starting May 20th. I highly encourage everyone to reach out to him for more info and to join Mike and take advantage of his knowledge in the realm of not only audio production but client acquisition as well! Finally, everyone that has access to the Voice Over Domination Course will also have access to all of the live recorded Zoom sessions for the AMA as well. I just added that to the bonus section of that course. If you do not have access to that course you can get more information on that here https://www.stepstovoiceoversuccess.com/offers/2zzjbows #GRINDANDDONTQUIT -Earl

Here's something some of you may already know. I'm looking to do a video podcast. Mainly about people in the group. I'm looking to prerecord us talking to each other talking about what you were doing before working in voice over. What are you working on know. How and were can people find you if they would like you to work on a prefect they have. Those are the main three things I would like to get out there. Who you are. What you can do. (here you might want to have a clip of you're latest project. Earl pointed out where you shouldn't look for people betting your door down in a week. But long term you might get some one calling you. This is a marathon and this will be playing every time all the time on the net. And we want to let them see us over and over again. That's phase one, Phase two is to make them into shorts. Shorts get plaid more then whole podcast so they get seen more often. And again the more often we are seen the more often we get talked about. If you saw the AmA from 4/08/23. I pointed out a man named Mattress Max. He owns a store in Houston called Gallery furniture. He's also one of the richest men in Texas. Why was I talking about him? Well you have to looking a the AmA to see. But I also heard him speak to HISD Teachers. Were He told his story ( That's for later). But in it he talk about a man in his town who everyone called the tire man, because were ever he went he Wore a tire around him. And ever one laughed at him. But when the needed a tire... Who do you think they thought of. And where do you think they all got their tires from. That's right, the tire man. And Mattress took that Idea and were ever he goes you see Gallery Furniture, on his Benz his 100plus K cigar speed boat. He's got kidd's that are more then likely out of collage. And where do you think they went? Any where they wanted to, because money was no object. I've never seen him in anything but a Gallery Furniture T shirt. And for the thirty years I lived in Houston other Furniture's popped up trying the same thing. I only know of one who made it. So guess what my plan is copy Earl and get us out there before some else does.

I am excited to announce that SnapStudio is a sponsor of my The Earl Hall Show. I created this video for them and you guys will be the first to see and hear it! This commercial is simply all about the sound you can produce with this great piece of gear. https://amzn.to/3LEohZf

I've been in two other groups in the past. And they tend to fall apart as they are starting up. But this group from day one, I felt that you guys were different. There's a feeling that we all want to help each other grow and succeed both as a voice artist and a business person. And that's very special.

The Well Moderated Q & A W/ Michael w. Ray 1pm on zoom Sat June 3rd

Sometimes it’s really fun to just CREATE and SHARE! I hope you take the time to watch the 2 downloads I've attached and I hope they inspire you all over again to use your voice for the betterment of humanity in whatever way you feel called to do so! Here is a 6 min excerpt from a 45 minute video I did back in 2021. I did the audio narration and then learned how to use Premiere Pro doing this video. It took me 2.5 months for the whole thing I had an unexpected gift from doing this – I shared my voice to help make the world a better place and in doing so, it really got me excited about voiceover and creating all over again. The time flew by when creating this video. Sometimes we can get lost in trying to “make money” to survive and lose sight of why we chose to get into voiceover in the first place – which for many is to use our voice to help make our world a better place. It was such a wonderful win-win experience for me creating this – I learned a lot, I got to share my gifts with the world and I had a lot of fun doing it! In case anyone is interested, here’s what I used to create this awesome video: Audio: Audacity and Adobe Audition with Shure SM58 mic and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface; Video Editing: Adobe Premiere Pro Images: All free on Pixabay.com Music: All free music from Youtube Music Library Credits and Motion Graphics/Animation: free MOGRTs (motion graphics templates) files from RoyFx I hope you watch this video and are inspired and re-ignited about how fun it is to create using your voice and share it with the world! P.S. The caption file I included in this post (the 2nd file) has what I found to be a very motivational sharing. I am not religious (I am more metaphysical in my world view) but still I hope you find the short clip as encouraging as I did. No matter what you are experiencing in life right now, God has got your back! Love, peace and blessings to all! LaTonya

I gave old girl an up grade. Bought a pack of sound proofing tiles And super glued them inside the milk crate. There's far less room for the sound to move around. But I like the result. Yea I could have bought one of Amazons portable sound boxes. But where's the fun in that. I'm also posting two clips of the test I did. Test is unprocessed and test2 is after processing With Amplifier, And ns1 wave for the basic sound. Now I get to play with reverb, echo and all the other effects.😊 Dear Santa, I've been an ok boy this year 2024 please can I have one of the grown up sound booths. Where there's a will :grind and don't you dear quit. 😉

Just created a new design for my logo to go on merch and websites. What do you think?

The course was a huge success! We all learned so much about building our voice over business and about how to really start executing on our plans to grow! Want to get the Voice Over Domination self-study course? Click Here https://www.stepstovoiceoversuccess.com/offers/2zzjbows

I saw this job on backstage and thought someone might have a chance in our group. Go for it...ladies too. Change their mind or set up a future opportunity. https://www.backstage.com/casting/automotive-group-video-2621516/?utm_source=social_share&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=casting_call

Look what i got back At 3A.M. Hey cuz! You have an amazing voice! You definitely belong in voice over or radio! <Things worth noting!> You had a few pauses or "voice typos" 😀 Dr. Kennedy and Dr. (Not Ms.)Lawson Just a lil bumpy in places Maybe slow down just a lil, so folks can process vocab better. I appreciate you very much for doing this! Sorry for delay. I had to get it done in a quiet place. Let's chat soon! Cousin Evelyn To put somethings in context. We didn't know about each other until around a year ago. Found her through Ancestry. i knew nothing about my fathers mother, my grand father remarried. But there was nothing left about her. So I didn't knew Evelyn had a Phd. And the last time talked with her, I found out that Dr.Kennedy passed last year from covid. I was already working on a revision, I noticed the same thing that she and group member noticed. One down two to go.😊 p.s. I'm also contacting other relatives, Two lawyers, And one state rep. I let them know I'm doing this as practice for now. But if they really like the results that I will post them on line.

A year in from starting out doing VO, I got my first audiobook jobs! Two! I'm so excited!

Since no one can predict the future for anyone of us. Then you might as well see yours, where you are the Winner. 😊

Can we be honest here? What could you be doing that you are not? What is the point you are stuck at right now? Are you SERIOUSLY ready to get UNSTUCK?

I got my first GIG, and was told I was emotionless, sounded like a robot, and spoke to fast. but hey I will let you guys be the judge 🤨

This is a book the one of my cousins wrote. I asked he if I could do one for her. And kept turning it over and over in my head how I wanted to do it. I was looking to make the person who would by the book feel like they were the court and that they would be reading it like it was a court case. I think it goes a little long for a trailer. But I was trying to get the person hearing hooker on needing to read it.

So I finally had a few free moments ( man life comes hard and fast sometimes).. But while enjoying a New York City spring day ( for the 23 minutes it lasts) I saw this post by Mr Bill.. So here is my humble contribution,,

Think of the group as being home. And try out your ideas while you at home were we might not know what your doing or why. But will applaud your efforts. Because fall flat on your face hurts less when you know there are people who are around you, will to help to get beck up. Love you guys❤️

So I was doing my usual first of the month update and maintenance, and got to thinking ( just bought another 🎤... somebody help meeeee) what is everyone's scheduled day to clean up and check there set up? What is you routine? Also what has everyone been working on ?
