The Perfect Motivation!

Any additional comments?

As a professional voice actor, I've always believed one of the foundations of a successful VO career is staying focused and staying positive. All of Rodney's books are incredibly helpful, but this one is essential reading for anyone getting started in this industry. Rodney is one of the best in the business and a great guy. You'll learn a lot from him in this book!

I Hear You Coach!

Now I don't have to wait for the monthly Consultant Club call to hear my coach spurring me on. As soon as I downloaded it I went straight to my favorite passages with the affirmations and exercises that I have come to depend on for inspiration. This is not just another "power of positive thinking" book because it is tailored for the artists in this industry, written by a man who has walked in our shoes. Well Done!

Now I Have All Three👍😊

This was one of the first books I read when I began my voiceover journey. I'm glad I now have it in audio form. Another GREAT audiobook!

For a voiceover professional....

This audio book narration is terrible. Is like listening to an hour long run on sentence...I expected better since it was read by the author, but he reads it like a commercial. I didn't care for it at all. Info was good if you can get past the annoying narration.

Good performance, awful recording quality and consistency

Some good words and insight delivered by a professional in the industry. Unfortunately, that professionalism is tarnished by the wildly inconsistent recording quality between chapters. Obviously recorded on different days.
