Why Do So Many Voiceover Actors Fall Short of their Goals? They don’t take personal responsibility for doing the job right. They don’t go the extra mile to please those for whom they work. They didn’t have sufficient talent in the first place. They over-think or over-intellectualize the process. They bring their egos into the studio with them. They gossip and badmouth other voiceover actors or producers. They are impatient with direction and want to do the job their own way. They don’t continue to grow and develop their talent. Their work in the studio doesn’t match what was represented on their demo. They lack good manners and common courtesy. They are unable to empathize. They don’t put in the time to develop and promote what they do as a business. They don’t plan and use their time efficiently. They don’t work hard or consistently enough on marketing themselves. They rest on their laurels and don’t practice.
