Excellent talk with Hugh Edwards today. Key outcome: I was procrastinating to finish the demo reel and shipping a ready-to-use version of studiolist.io. With the new Plan-Result accountability, I'm planning to change that. #hip

had another #mictime session with some progress but still wasn't happy with the performance (it's a tricky one because I try to combine a calm, conversational tone with a mix of fear and joy). So that's work in progress 😉 #stolenvoice

Long chat with an old friend about a new video series (podcast) (probably visual though) - so - pumped!!! For that. #pe

thursday truth #laif #studiolist #naii

Made an important decision: Making money through product work via #studiolist does take longer and teaching via #freewritecamp is not a money-making "machine" anyway. So, my current focus is on revenue 💰💰💰 via #stolenvoice client work and (inbound) marketing of my client voiceover services because through client work I can make immediate money and money is important for my business survival. When survial time will be "mastered" I can shift focus on playing with other channels of revenue - Klitschko's tweet (twitter.com/Klitschko/status/… ) reminded of focus as the key ingredient for long-term success. So be it. Also learned that when the topic is survival I'm pretty good at it, as learned in Cuba.

Feeling good, feeling in flow (something I've been longing for to feel like for many months). Two factors are responsibility for that: an accountability partner keeping me accountable every day (!) my new voiceover show with a new episode (of Stoic philosophy) every day - yes DAILY is the primary keyword, and SOCIAL and PHILOSOPHY are the other (secondary) keywords #hip

another voiceover practice session (tomorrow I'll dive into more theoretic work again to improve my practicing practice) #stolenvoice

now focus is on #stolenvoice, so I'm giving #studiolist a temporary break

got an overview of the postproduction process (bit of a repition like - EQ - Compression - Normalisation - De-Essing - Limiting - Insert Effects - Send & Return Effects but that's ok); started the advanced voiceover course to get from my intermediate level to a pro level which included today: to warm up nicely and full-body, going to extremes (ultra low pitch, ultra high pitch, mixture of both and going over the top with a caricature performance) - my voice felt like the strings of a guitar today when I practiced #stolenvoice

wrote my Thursday confession / 7-days review of what I got done in terms of VO biz and art, submitted my new VO performances to get pro feedback and some interaction with another VO student #stolenvoice

a colleague made me aware that I have competition for #studiolist (voiceoverstudiofinder.com) - finally a serious competitor! YES!

Discussed and planned a #coffeeclub write-up with a friend this morning over coffee.

another revision of the studiolist script recording for my commercial demo reel #stolenvoice

long training session today in a new setup with better acoustic treatment (way better sound quality) - will try to improve it step by step #stolenvoice

after a day off because feeling sick-ish and slight ear-pain I had an extended session today (but focussing only on style of delivery to perfect it) with a new recording setup: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote and Focusrite 2i2 mixer - is another level. Also I gave my recording environment a bit more room while still treating it with acoustic foam. #mictime #stolenvoice

published next vlog episode (stolenvoice tv ep. 2) on the topic of "focus and the discipline to stick to it" #stolenvoice
