<\/p>\n\"Harlan<\/a>\n

Harlan Hogan<\/span> has decided to teach a month-long series of teleseminars devoted to just one topic: Starting Your Own Voiceover Business:<\/span> Everything You Need To Know To Turn Your
Dream Or Your Sideline Into A Business.<\/a><\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

If you think he needs the money, you’re mistaken. He’s been pulling down a steady six figures each year for 32 years \u2014 as he says, as a talker, not as a teacher.<\/p>\n

He’s doing it for two reasons:<\/p>\n

1. He’s seen too many promising careers flame briefly and then disappear because the voice actors concentrated on voiceover jobs<\/span> or even voiceover careers<\/span>…but not on building voiceover businesses<\/span>. If you spend all your time trying to land an audition or win a gig, you’re missing the big picture. Harlan is a Big Picture kind of guy.<\/p>\n

2. Over the past couple of years he’s become really upset over what I have dubbed “Voiceover Puppy Mills”: companies that sucker people in to free or inexpensive “workshops” and then follow up with each person who attended: “You<\/span> have what it takes to make it in voiceovers! You must<\/span> sign up for our multi-thousand dollar ‘master’s class’ immediately!<\/p>\n

I knew there were some fake voiceover gurus out there, posing as successful VO performers, suckering people into “continuity programs” where the naive student pays $X per month \u2014 forever \u2014 to be part of an inner circle of other would-be voice actors. I’m quite familiar with that business model. Heck, I can tell you who invented it.<\/p>\n

But I didn’t know about the hucksters who pitch their tents, separate the local yokels from their precious cash, and then move on to the next sucker town.<\/p>\n

For a couple of years now, Harlan has forwarded me the various snake oil pitches that have come his way. <\/p>\n

Result:<\/p>\n

<\/span> Now I’m angry, too. So when he asked me to assist in putting together a series of teleseminar classes that tell the truth, offer real-world information and tools, and can steer serious voiceover professionals away from “hope careers” and toward voice acting businesses…It was easy to say yes.<\/p>\n

Harlan talks about those rip-off artists in much greater detail here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
