• Business: You need to know that you can actually run an office, negotiate rates and get invoices sent out. Follow up, due diligence, customer relationship management (CRM). Do you need the security of a regular paycheck?

• Marketing: Marketing is a major part of voice over career. Market yourself by following up, meeting new contacts, and advertising your services. Do you know how to do this? Do you hate to do this?
