S5, EP 161 The whole gang finally dive into and share about their individual P2P choices since launching and building their voice over & on-camera careers.  They discuss P2P platforms  they're still going strong on since launching.  Which ones they decided to let go of for different reasons.  Then other P2P platforms they added into the mix to create more auditions to discover.  Also  they touch on adding Agents and Production rosters to help boost their access to auditions and increase their chances to book.    Here we share real parts of our creative journeys,  as we navigate our own individual voice over and on-camera careers.  None of us are coaches but we do love that in sharing  our creative chaos, we will all learn, grow and expand to become the best versions of ourselves in the creative realm with the intention that in sharing our stories we can inspire others along the way too. Support the showThis is a shareable podcast, with a group of creatives, documenting their creative voice over & on-camera journeys to inspire all of us as we navigate our own paths!

Astoria Redhead aka Mandy Fisher joins us! As a child actor, Mandy was invested in the theater and film scene in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time, there were only a handful of girls her age doing voiceover.  One day while at school, her mom pulled her out of class and took her to the studio where she was told she was going to be recording a national radio commercial. She had never done anything like this before.  After the initial nerves, she let loose and just had fun being herself. That set off a career trajectory that she never anticipated. And she never looked back. Since then she has worked with companies like Audible, Kohls, Macy's, Disney, SquareSpace, QuikTrip, Crayola, WholeFoods and many more. In addition, she also coaches people pursuing their Voice Over dreams and has started her own podcast, Disaster Human. Her passion for voiceover and genuine love of helping people inspire her to work with actors of all stages of their career. With a theater background, she brings her training to guide copy analysis and character creation. As an industry vet of 15 years, she has witnessed the changes and understands the ebbs and flows of the business. Mandy created her own voice over business from the ground up and has a successful and replicable model to help actors build their own successful businesses. All of this adds up to a coach who can provide audition and career advice while helping actors become the best they can be! She truly has so many amazing tips, you don't want to miss it!Support the showThis is a shareable podcast, with a group of creatives, documenting their creative voice over & on-camera journeys to inspire all of us as we navigate our own paths!
