Doesn’t it feel great when someone cheers us on? How often do we do the same? 🤔
I wanted to share this earlier today but…major computer issues 😓 But I didn’t let that stop me! I felt this was important enough to share it before Friday ends. So, do me a favor…watch it through until the end. Please share it because It might be just what someone needed to hear! 😄
Have a great weekend and to all the moms…Happy Mother’s Day weekend!
The Second Wind
💨 💨 💨
Whenever it’s Hump Day the people rejoice! That’s because the week is halfway over. This also proves a good place to catch your breath. Every engine can run out of steam. But if we find a moment to rest and reflect. We can finish STRONG 💪🏼
I’d like to hear from you. How do you prepare for the second half of the work week?
Comment below 👇🏼
See you next time!

We’ve all had one before.
💡 The Light Bulb moment. We call it the “Eureka!” the “A-ha!” the “Bingo!”
Yep. We’ve all had a moment of sudden inspiration, revelation or recognition. It could have been sitting in front of us ALL ALONG. And we’re like “I didn’t see that until JUST now!” 😄
It’s funny how we sometimes miss things when we’re stressed, 😓overcommitted or simply unfocused. And it happens to the best of us!
Take a look at what’s happening in your life right now. Like, for real…think about it. Are there things that are sitting right in front of you that need attention? Is there a phone call you need to make? A customer, a client…a friend? Is there a situation you need to address? 🤔
Wait for it…
A-ha! The Light Bulb.
When you find it (and you will)…attend to it. Fix it. Sometimes fixing it is quick. Other times you might need help. Personally, I’m a fan of prayer myself. We don’t always have to go it alone. How much happier and healthier would we be, if we took time to reflect and fix?
Happy Thursday! I hope you are having a fantastic week. Here is a new demo I produced as an online ad. It was a lot of fun to do!
Recently, I found out about this remarkable filmmaker, Deborah Riley Draper and her company Coffee Bluff Pictures. I learned about the types of projects she's created over the years. She has an illustrious and decorated career in advertising, winning numerous awards.
If you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, a business leader or someone who loves to be inspired...watching her TEDx talk will impact you.
Deborah talks about greenlighting yourself. Greenlighting is when a film is given permission to proceed backed by funding and other resources.
Have you ever felt afraid to start something new in your business? A new project, training or something unfamiliar? Did you feel like you needed a form of permission to do it? What if you knew you couldn't fail at it, would you try? It’s true… Not every idea or opportunity is for you. But MANY are. Giving yourself the greenlight could be the breakthrough you were waiting for. 🤔
What would you attempt to do if you gave yourself a greenlight? Share in the comment section 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
You never knew who you could help!
Good day people! 😄
This project is especially meaningful to me! I was hired to do the VO for a church's Easter Sunday video package this year. I met a visiting Pastor of a church last month at a Men's conference. I told him what I do for a living and we exchanged contact info. A few weeks later, the Program Director reached out to me about wanting to have professional Voiceover for their Easter Service. The PD wanted the mood to be "somber, powerful and reverent" with a pace that was "measured and thoughtful." I poured my heart into it.
As a Christian, it encourages me that I get to use my voice to be a blessing. The church recently sent me the completed project and I wanted to share it with you today! 🙏🏼
Good Monday morning! I’m reading an important book about brand management and how it relates to VO business.
First, I highly recommend Voiceover Achiever by . In the book Celia recalls a conversation she had with the wonderful .
Joan discusses how our “brand” creates VALUE for others. That value is found in our acting talent (what we do), our delivery method (when/ how we do it) and our relationship skills (who we are).
Such great information and…this definitely translates to different industries and areas of life. What we do for other people matters. When and how we do it also matters.
It’s like making sure we “do the right things for the right reasons.” Should I be BRUTALLY honest about something BECAUSE I knew it would intentionally hurt someone?
But the other important part of what Joan says is that it’s also about relationships. Yes! And I would argue that it is the most important part. Because we bring value to someone when they know we have THEIR best interest at heart. In business and in life, good relationships amplify value. Maya Angelou said, People won’t always remember what you said or did but they will always remember how you make them feel.
So, let’s think about how to add value to a person, a friend, a client or a company by how we nurture that relationship. Have an awesome week!
I am really enjoying this Voiceover journey! It provides such a creative outlet for me. I also enjoy "VO adjacent work." Like this commercial demo I produced (including video editing graphics). I actually designed a whole logo for this ATV brand! 😅 I had a ball doing it too! So, what are some of your creative skills that you use professionally or as a hobby?
Did you know that Dodge once made a 5.7L Hemi V8 engine station wagon? It was called the Dodge Magnum R/T and was unlike anything else in the marketplace. Production of the Magnum ended because the demand of SUVs and Crossovers had taken over. The Dodge Magnum may not return to the market again but if it did...here's how it could catch your attention.
Many years ago, I worked at the Home Depot and dreamed of the day I could Voice one of their commercial spots. Well…here’s a demo spot I recorded from my booth.
So, we did a thing…
I was blessed to provide VO talent for this beautiful poem by .sellers, who happens to be my amazing wife. She is an incredible writer and poet. This is the first time we have worked together professionally. And it wad long overdue! If you’d like to see more inspirational content, follow LaShona .
When I began this journey, like many before me, I often vacillated between confidence and self loathing. Have you ever thought, “What was I thinking?” Or “how could I ever succeed at this business idea?” I have. 🙋🏽♂️😅
Many of us small business owners understand that sometimes things could get worse before they get better.
And often, that is a debilitating thought process. We begin our journey, we see the mountain before us and decide that THIS mission is impossible. We believe that mountain (i.e. challenge) is insurmountable and we turnaround straightaway.
But if we would only remember that the sure way to guarantee failure…is to not make an attempt at all. Whether in business, love, relationships or life, it is important to do what you are called to do. Even if you think you won’t succeed.
Make. That. Effort.
An old proverb states that “Fortune favors the brave.” Now’s the time to be brave and to be bold.
So, if you’ve thought about starting a VO business but haven’t started reading things (scripts, books, magazine articles, etc.) aloud…
Make. That. Effort.
If you’ve saved money to start a business but you doubt your ability to succeed…
Make. That. Effort.
If you’ve seen that HUGE project that would be PERFECT for you but you are too afraid to pursue it…
Make. That. Effort.
Even when you doubt yourself (which is normal), you won’t know unless you go.
God has so much in store for you. The fun is learning what it is! But first, just go!
Good news!!
My business license was approved and ya boy is now official! Ronaldo Voice & Media, LLC. is up and running! AND…I wanted to share some of my website screenshots with you! It was a definite chore to put put together but it was sooooo worth the time invested! 😅
And most importantly, I landed my first client in January and I’ve received requests for both of my specialties. In my neck of the woods that’s what you would call a praise break! 🙌🏼🏃🏻♂️Halelujah!
will find you with some crazy moments trying to get the right read. And when you’re editing your sessions, you can find a lot of funny moments 😅(flubs, mistakes, hiccups, etc.) I wanted to share a few funny moments I pieced together.
What funny crazy stories do you have in your booth? 😂😂😂
November is and men all over the world are growing their facial hair to bring attention to Men’s Mental health. There are lots of men that are suffering from mental illnesses. It could be the man in your life. For more info, search to learn about supporting Men’s mental health. Thanks and many blessings 🙏🏼 to for the VO Challenge and for sharing this important matter.
“When preparing for a read, it is most important to put your whole effort into it. Vocal warm ups, relaxing your facial muscles and proper breathing techniques truly help. Some use their entire body to bring about the best emotion for the read or character. This is important for VO and in life…ALWAYS give your best effort.”
