I'm POSITIVE I am not trendy.

Australian Voice Over. Warm, comfy VO for commercials, medical narration, corporate video, eLearning, IVR and more, from my pro home studio.
My part of Australia (regional NSW) has finally decided to be trendy and caught up with the whole Covid-19 lockdowns thing. Which is not very nice. I don’t think I like being trendy. Except when it comes to using trending audios on Instagram Reels, because that is fun.
Fun = good. Virus-related lockdown = bad.
So anyway, as a consequence of lockdown life feeling rather like swimming through barely-wet cement, I’ve not been terribly productive lately. I’ve noticed the same amongst some friends and colleagues.
We all have shit days. Right? Sometimes shit weeks or months. It happens.
Sometimes we sit in our warm little home studio just staring at the padded walls because ugh, this is hard. And then sometimes we do a little happy dance and punch our padded walls with glee because wow, this is SO GREAT.
Here’s a few tips to keep the voiceover ship leaning more to the SO GREAT side of the… ocean… wait, ignore that metaphor…
They apply to anyone, obviously, but I shall call them tips for voice actors, because then I say voice actor a lot which is handy for SEO. Voice actor SEO. On my voice actor website, for people looking for fabulous voiceover from a fabulous voice actor.
Sorry, not sorry.
Here they are, The “I’m a POSITIVE voice actor” Tips For Feeling Better:

ONE:
Laugh! A comedy film, your hilarious best friend, your ridiculous stinky dog, terrible reddit memes, the hilariously insulting name a friend just called you (hands up if you recently called someone a “fungus-eating spawn of The Outback”) I’m sure you can find something to laugh at.?
TWO:
Be grateful! It works best of you actually write down some things you’re thankful for. There are actual scientific studies showing that people who wrote down three things they were grateful for, for between 15 and 30 days, were happier. Magic!
THREE:
Dance! I prefer the kitchen, with loud music, but balconies also work well.
