Voiceover Business Strategies That Work

The VO Pro Podcast is the go-to show for voice actors who want to grow their voiceover business without relying on casting sites or waiting for agents to hand them work.

You’ll learn practical voiceover marketing tips, how to master direct marketing for voice actors, build a solid client base, and use tools like email outreach, SEO, and strategic positioning to stand out. We cover how to price your work, optimize your VO website, and navigate topics like AI and voiceover with clarity and confidence.

    2026/05/14

    Is audiobook narration still worth pursuing in 2026… or is AI about to wipe it out?

    In this conversation, I sit down with audiobook narrator, actor, entrepreneur, and founder of The Global Actor, Elise Arsenault, to talk about the REAL state of the audiobook industry right now.

    We dig into:

    * Why audiobook narration is still growing
    * The truth about AI and virtual voices
    * Why long-form narration is different from short-form VO

    Elise also shares how she built a thriving audiobook career with more than 160 audiobooks, why strategy and systems matter so much for creatives, and what newer voice actors should focus on if they want sustainable work in today’s industry.
