VOICE ACTOR!
I'M NIKKI LU LOWE
I'm a voice actor of 18 plus years, business woman of 25 plus years, and a creative hustler since...like...forever and I’d like to share my story with you…
When I found out voiceover was a full blown industry, my excitement level when through the roof. I dove in and started to hustle. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm started to get crushed by the overwhelming tasks of running a business. I found myself making knee jerk business decisions, sometimes discovering they were the wrong decisions and having to clean up the mess. I felt like I was wasting a lot of time and money with trial and error and wished someone would just explain choices to me. Or I’d find myself just staring at my screen having no idea what task to do because there were so many and each of them had even more mini tasks hiding inside of them. My frustration shook my confidence in having a successful career in voiceover and that shook my performance on mic. I needed help and didn’t know who to turn to because everyone seemed like they were doing things differently from one another. It’s been a long journey filled with stumbles and successes and one I’m happy to now be able to share with others on the same road.
So, I decided to craft a roadmap of my experience and share it in a streamlined, welcoming and digestible elearning course paced for everyone.
