✅ Commercials are booming more than ever despite economic turmoil.

✅ Authenticity is key in voice acting; it's about real human connection.

✅ AI cannot replicate the depth of human experience in voice acting.

✅ Voice acting should be thought-driven, not voice-driven.

✅ Understanding the story behind the script is crucial for effective delivery.

✅ Actors often make the mistake of focusing on adjectives rather than the narrative.

✅ The first line of a script is critical for engagement.

✅ Successful actors focus on serving the story, not themselves.

✅ Every audition is a fresh opportunity; past performances do not define future success.

✅ Clients are looking for fresh talent, not the same voices repeatedly.

✅ Building relationships with casting directors is helpful.
