VO Pro: The Business of Voiceover and Voice Acting
Voiceover Business Strategies That Work
The VO Pro Podcast is the go-to show for voice actors who want to grow their voiceover business without relying on casting sites or waiting for agents to hand them work. Hosted by voice actor and business coach Paul Schmidt, this podcast delivers no-fluff, tactical advice on how to market your voiceover services, attract high-quality clients, and build a profitable VO business in a world of AI-generated voices and shifting industry standards.
You’ll learn practical voiceover marketing tips, how to master direct marketing for voice actors, build a solid client base, and use tools like email outreach, SEO, and strategic positioning to stand out. We cover how to price your work, optimize your VO website, and navigate topics like AI and voiceover with clarity and confidence.
Each week, we bring you insights and strategies from Paul, and interviews with working voice actors, coaches, casting directors, and experts who understand the business of voiceover from the inside out.
If you're a freelance voice actor looking to take control of your career and actually get booked, this is the podcast for you.

About (Paul) Schmidt:
Paul Schmidt is a successful voice actor, community builder, and voiceover business coach.
He's also the creator of the VO Freedom Master Plan, a voiceover marketing program designed to generate consistent opportunities for voice actors to book work, and the VO Pro Community, a private, professional, global community created to meet the needs of voice actors and audiobook narrators who want to take their careers to the next level.
Paul has been a voice actor for over 25 years and full-time for the last several. He lives in beautiful Richmond, VA.
Still wondering why you’re not booking more, even though your voice is solid?
It’s not your talent holding you back. It’s your lack of strategy.
The voice actors who book on repeat aren’t better than you. They’re just more visible, more trusted, and running better systems.
That’s exactly what I’ll teach you in Booked By Design, a free 3-part training series starting October 9.
