In 2024, eLearning and related non-broadcast genres accounted for 60% of my voice over income, and that trend is holding strong in 2025. While many voice actors focus exclusively on the "glamour" genres, I've built a significant portion of my business on the steady, profitable, and consistent work that eLearning provides. Now, with the rise of AI, the game has changed. It's no longer enough to have a good voice. The market is flooded with synthetic voices that are cheap and "good enough" for basic projects. To build a lasting career in this genre, you must be more engaging, more authentic, and more human than a robot. This video is my playbook for doing exactly that. I'll show you how to move beyond the myth of "boring" narration and reposition yourself as an indispensable partner who creates a safe, effective learning environment that AI simply can't replicate. In This In-Depth Video, You Will Learn: My Personal Business System: Learn the simple framework I developed to categorize eLearning work (Academic, Industrial, Corporate) so you can track your revenue and market yourself with precision.

Last year, a single, often misunderstood genre accounted for 19% of my total voiceover income. More importantly, half of those jobs came from repeat clients who sent scripts directly to my inbox—no audition required. That genre is the Explainer Video, and it can be a pillar of a stable, modern VO career... if you know its secrets. The number one mistake I see talented voice actors make is performing an explainer script like it's a commercial. They sell too hard, miss the nuance, and the client hits "next." An explainer isn't just a sales pitch; it's a story, a solution, and a conversation all rolled into one. It has a code, and in this workshop, I'm going to teach you how to crack it. This is my complete business and performance blueprint for mastering one of the most consistent forms of non-broadcast narration in the industry today. In This Code-Cracking Workshop, You Will Learn: To Decode the 5-Act Play: I'll walk you through the simple, powerful five-act structure (Intro, Problem, Solution, Features, CTA) that forms the backbone of nearly every explainer video script. To Master the "Ally" Role: Discover why the key to a compelling explainer read is to perform not as an announcer, but as a trusted ally who has experienced the same problem as the listener. My Data-Driven Roadmap to a Booking: I'll share my personal business stats on where the work comes from (51% Online Casting, 42% Self-Marketing) so you can focus your marketing efforts for maximum results. To Build a 2025-Ready Demo: Get the exact specs for a 60-second explainer demo that showcases your range with four distinct reads clients are looking for right now. To Price for Long-Term Value: Learn how to confidently price your work based on its value as a key marketing asset for your client, not just the time it takes you to record. If you're ready to stop auditioning and start building a roster of long-term, direct-book clients, this workshop is for you. Stream it today and crack the code to a more profitable and stable voice over career.
