So a new year is approaching and it feels like we’ve done this not a long time ago but I’m taking the time to sit and think about how I did this year and what my goals are.  I know I shouldn’t overwhelm myself with radical new years resolutions I mean we all know how that works out – more often than not, it does not work out at all.<\/p>\n

I’m a voice actor, that is how I earn my living and if I want to accomplish my 2017 goals, I need to be able to find more work.  It wasn’t too long ago that I finally was able to afford my own professional home studio and I know with proper care my equipment should be able to last me a few good years but that microphone, I know, should be upgraded so that’s one I know I can immediately tick off my list.  The new one I had in mind will well cost me over a thousand dollars but that’s okay, I’ve managed to set aside money for it.<\/p>\n

Now let’s see, deadlines.  I gotta admit, as far as castings and auditions<\/a> went, I haven’t been to keen about the deadlines and if it weren’t for my steady clients I wouldn’t have made as much as I did however if my goal was to earn more this coming new year, I need to do better with auditions in the hopes of getting more projects in.<\/p>\n

My friend Steve, he’s a sound engineer and also a graphics designer has finally agree to set aside some time for me so we can work on my website and he can teach me a few things about editing.  To be honest, I dread it.  He’s talking about a few other courses I can take online to teach me more but let me start with him before moving on to those.  As far as the website goes I have a few nice things to post there after I which I can hook it up to my Facebook and Twitter account.   Maybe just Twitter unless I can find time to go through my Facebook and review my privacy settings.  Hmmm.<\/p>\n

I already know which voice over conference<\/a> to attend to and that’s not later in the coming year so I’m not going to worry about that just yet.  <\/p>\n

Fifteen minutes was actually more than I was willing to put into thinking about the coming year and resolutions so I need to go now.<\/p>\n
