I’m back! And today I’m diving into the end of the year… the big wins, the momentum, and yeah—some of the stuff giving me major heartburn right now.
A lot of voice actors don’t realize this, but the holiday stretch is prime time for scooping up extra VO work. Tons of actors check out for the season, and they let opportunities fly right on by. Meanwhile, businesses are sitting on leftover budget they have to spend before the year closes. That’s your shot to step in and snag projects you might not normally get.
I’m also sharing a bit about my own voiceover journey and giving you an update on where things stand with Academy Voices.

In this episode of A VO’s Journey, we dig into a subtle but powerful part of every recording: breathing. Should breaths be left in or taken out of your audio? The answer depends on the style of the read, the client’s expectations, and the overall flow of your performance.
We explore the pros and cons of keeping breaths in—how they can add realism, pacing, and authenticity—and the reasons to edit them out for a cleaner, more polished delivery. You’ll also learn techniques to control your breathing while performing, tips for editing breaths naturally, and how to match your approach to different genres like audiobooks, commercials, and eLearning.
Whether you’re just starting out or polishing your professional workflow, this episode will give you the confidence to make the right breathing choices in your voice overs.

How To Fix Sibilance 
In this episode of A VO’s Journey, we focus on one of the most distracting audio issues for voice actors: sibilance. Those sharp, piercing “S” sounds can cut through your recording and ruin an otherwise professional read—but with the right approach, they’re manageable.
We break down what sibilance is, why it happens, and the best ways to control it both while recording and in post-production. You’ll learn mic techniques to reduce sibilance, how vocal delivery plays a role, and the tools available in your DAW (like de-essers and EQ adjustments) to smooth out your audio.
If you’ve ever cringed at harsh “S” sounds in your playback, this episode will give you the practical steps you need to fix it and deliver clean, polished voice overs.
