Have you ever wondered what it would be like to make a living by using your voice? I’m not referring to a singing career but rather a one doing voice-overs. Audiobook narrators and voice-over work has been around for decades, but, today, there’s an explosion of ways you can make money and earn a living as one. No longer do you need to hire a studio, an engineer, an editor, etc., you can now do it all and at home. Today’s guest Ana Clements is Spanish by birth, British by nature, and as a bilingual, she says “she has twice as much to say”. She is the founder of the https://clubhousedb.com/club/923858030-audiobooks (AUDIOBOOKS CLUB on Club House) and helps those who are looking to become Audiobook Narrators, Voice Over Actors, or, anyone who is testing the waters, or a pro and to keep up with the latest and greatest news updates about the field. Ana is here today to show you how you too can begin using your voice to create a new stream of income for yourself. Ana worked in the corporate world of finance for over 20 years. She felt like she hit a wall and knew she wanted to make a change. As a seasoned vocalist, she decided she wanted to make a living using her voice. So she cut the cord, and, jumped into the world of voice-over work full-time. Ana spent two years studying sound engineering and vocal production. She’s studied acting, character voicing, and narration. Today she works from her home studio in the U.K. She is a bi-lingual audiobook narrator and voice-over actor.

Greetings my lovely Drumsters, I am so excited to share some great news. I will be speaking at the Podfest Global starting this week. I will be speaking on Wednesday evening and in honor of such, I am sharing my interview with the founder Chris Krimitsos. He was a guest on our Tampa Jam Virtual Summit last year. Chris Krimitsos of the http://podfestexpo.com/2021/ (Podfest Expo) is here to show you how you can quickly get started with podcasting. Talk to people that Chris Krimitsos has spent any amount of time with and you’ll hear descriptions like “changemaker,” “motivator,” “catalyst for change,” and “inspiration.” Whether it’s a major corporation’s CEO or a solopreneur, Chris is passionate about being a difference maker. Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 5,100 attendees in just five years, now breaking Guiness Book of World Records thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings.

Happy New Year my Drumsters! I hope you had a great New Year's Eve. Aren't you excited about having a new beginning? Last year was a train wreck and we've learned so much from it. Hopefully 2021 will get us back up and running like before the Pandemic and we can reclaim our lives. The other day was #National Sleep In Day and I thought about how sometimes I get hit with insomnia and it's not so easy to sleep at all for that fact. I did some research and you'll be surprised to hear that most folks don't get a good night sleep. Have you ever dealt with not getting a restful night's sleep? Isn't it a train wreck? I've been dealing with insomnia for decades now. I am listing below some of the products I refer to in this episode that I use to keep me from staying awake all night long. (Please note that if your purchase any of these products, I will receive a small commission). https://amzn.to/3nzWUl1 (Satin Eye Mask) https://amzn.to/3ibd1EM (Satin Pillow Cases) https://amzn.to/3i1RfmG (Gel Eye Depuffer/Sleep Mask) https://amzn.to/2XvBye1 (Lavendar Pillow Spray) https://amzn.to/35vI3C4 (Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets) https://amzn.to/2LDAJNM (Feather Bed Topper) https://amzn.to/3i1EMj1 (Black Out Curtains) https://amzn.to/3nA54Ki (Sound Therapy) https://amzn.to/35vHhVG (CMT Oil) Having a good night's sleep is imperative to good health.
