VO Pro Tip: The 2 Sentence Client Check-In

2 Sentence Client Check In

Hey Reader,

Following up with past clients usually feels awkward because most talent overthink it. They write long, apologetic paragraphs explaining why they haven't reached out, or they send generic messages asking if there's any work available.

If you want past clients to keep you in mind, keep your check-in short, useful, and completely zero-pressure.

The most effective check-in only needs two sentences:

The Update: Share one quick, relevant piece of news (a new demo drop, a studio upgrade, or a niche genre you're booking more of).
The Soft Exit: Give them an easy, low-effort way to reconnect without feeling put on the spot.

Here is what that looks like in practice:

"Hey [Name], just updated my commercial demo with a few recent national spots and wanted to pass the new link along for you to check out. Hope projects are rolling smoothly on your end, and feel free to reach out anytime if you ever need an audition, a quick quote, or just want to chat!"

It takes twenty seconds for them to read, doesn't put them on the spot, and puts your name back at the top of their inbox the next time a relevant script comes across their desk.

VO Pro Tip: Avoid the End of Sentence Energy Drop

End of Sentence Energy Drop Hey Reader, When you listen back to a line you just recorded, how does the last word sound? A really common habit in voiceover—for both beginners and experienced talent—is letting your vocal support trail off right at the end of a sentence or tag line. Your brain naturally knows the thought is finishing, so as your breath runs low, your energy drops off. The sentence starts strong, grounded, and engaging, but the last word or two fizzles out into a weak exhale, a...
