HAH – awesome!!

I tried acting once when I was living in Korea as a kid but I wasn’t the greatest at it :)

Thanks for the laugh. I think a lot of people talk about personal finance and side hustles with such a serious tone that we forget to have fun. Not spending every minute of your day slogging through activities designed solely to bring in money is important. I have a few side projects I do for the joy of doing them and, every now and then, they result in profit too…but sometimes they don’t, and that’s okay. Everyone needs a good laugh now and then.

Seemed like #5 branched into bad singing voices :P.

I’ll say that Carrie’s episode definitely made me want to immediately launch into a voice acting career. Fun fact, I actually did some voice acting as a kid for radio commercials in both the US and when I lived in Japan. My voice is probably still coming out of some pachinko machines…

In reply to Latoya @ Life and a Budget. Good! Go for it! It doesn't have to be perfect (or close to perfect) either. Just put yourself out there and learn and tweak as you go. Good luck!

Rule #5 “Don’t waste good” NCIS. Mine would be more, “You can’t waste good” I have more projects in my “vault of shame” than I will ever own up to. But none of it is wasted. With every failure, I grew, developed skills, and learned something. If we limit ourselves to things that are a guaranteed win, we miss out on most of the good things we earn through failure. And if the failure can be fun and entertaining, all the better!

I needed this laugh! This was hilarious and well, for lack of a better term, genius. You never really know who wants what until you put it out there and I’ve been struggling with this a bit myself. You’ve just inspired me to simply stop moping and go ahead and ask the questions that I need answers to…thanks!

Oh man, accents are HUGE in the industry from what I hear! If you love voice over stuff and are good at it (disregard this nonsense here, haha…) it could really be something profitable – and fun – for you :)

Check out our serious guest post on it and see!
