Joe Bevilacqua

In this episode of the Podcast I talk with Joe Bevilacqua A.K.A. “Joe-Bev” about using your voice over and production skills to create products on your own and how to profit from them.

About Joe:

Joe Bevilacqua, also known as Joe Bev is primarily known as a radio theater dramatist. However, his career has taken him into every aspect of show business, including stage, film and television, as a producer, director, writer, actor, and even cartoonist.

In 1975, Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear and many Hanna-Barbera and Jay Ward cartoon characters, dubbed himself Joe Bev’s personal mentor.

Since 1980, Bevilacqua has produced any award-winning radio programs for National Public Radio, Sirius XM Radio and others.

In 2012, Bevilacqua signed an exclusive distribution deal with Blackstone Audio, for his more than 40 years of audio work. He is releasing hundreds of hours of audio documentaries, comedies, dramas, autobiographies and more.

Bevilacqua  won a 2007 New York Festivals Awards for his “Tribute to Joe Barbera” which aired on NPR s All Things Considered. And his NPR Weekend Edition story “A Guy Named Joe Bevilacqua” won the 2004 National Federation of Community Broadcasters Award.

Joe Bev also produces & hosts four pod-casts per week: The Jazz-O-Rama Hour, Cartoon Carnival, The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, and The Joe Bev Experience.

Short Episode This Week!

Intro Music excerpted from Rush’s “Countdown” on their Signals Album

Short Hammer Story on How Knowing What Value You Bring To The Table Can Help You Justify Your Rates

We frequently get push-back from clients and prospective clients on our rates – Hey it’s just reading out loud Right? … right.

This episode features a short story and some other real life examples from my world that will help you re-frame how you approach this topic.

Re-framing the rate question allows you to bring in your life experience to your performance and skill set.

Differentiating between the simple “Audio File” and the performance within the audio file is how you can charge higher amounts for your voice over services.

With that in mind you need to use your personal story in your marketing.

My Guest Today is The Hilariously Talented Jodie Adler – Here’s a Sample…

Voice Over Talent & Author Jodi Adler

What do you do—how do you cope when the world’s gone mad? Well, of course you need to consult with Auntie Jodi. She provides a brassy, sassy, and classy way to deal with the overbearing, thoughtless, “my needs are greater than yours” POV that so many people adhere to today.

Stop thinking that if you are polite you’re a pushover—ask Auntie, and she’ll help you put those crass losers back in their place. How? Here’s a Hint from Auntie Jodi’s Helpful Hints that will set them straight (and help you maintain your sanity, too):

If an over-solicitous kumbaya type shares that you seem “angry,” simply laugh and tell the poor soul “it’s called ‘having an opinion.’”

About Jodi Adler

Jodi Adler has become a popular presence in Los Angeles—first as a news anchor and reporter, and then as a talk show host, actor, and stand up comic.   While anchoring and reporting news at KFWB,  she covered stories ranging from the Northridge Earthquake, Simpson trial and elections to lighter fare including the pitfalls of dating in the big city, health and consumer news, to film reviews and entertainment. She has been honored with many awards, including Golden Mikes.  Jodi was also the only female finalist in the Funniest Person in the Valley contest where her standup comedy was called “more disarming than alarming.”

During Our Interview We Discuss…

• How She’s Created a Character to Market Her Business
• We Peel Back the Curtain on Why She REALLY Wrote The Book and…
• How She’s Using Her Book to Grow Her Business
• What’s RETRO Marketing and WHY it Works!
• How To Handle Criticism
• How Your Life Experiences Impact Your Voice Over Skills
• And Much More!

It’s been awhile. I dropped off the radar for a number of weeks…. Why?

It’s been a crazy couple of months.

The Building my condo is in was hit by a deadly fire. It got me thinking.

I’m fine. No damage to person or property. Others weren’t so lucky.

In this episode I ask you a number of questions:

• How prepared are you?
• Do you have a fire extinguishers & smoke detectors?
• Do you have data back-ups? Are they in multiple places?
• What about important documents that aren’t stored electronically?
• God forbid you get in an accident. Is there someone else on your banking accounts who can access them and make payments and/or deposits for you?
• Are all your passwords for emails and web site admin pages somewhere for a trusted person to be able to make changes to the pages or close them down for you if necessary?
• What would happen if your studio burned down or you were flooded out? How long would it take for you to be back up and running?
• And many more that make you stop and think.

Please listen.

This episode is so important I’m not adding the usual notes at the end. I care about you and I want you to take this message to heart and take action.

“Help! My Business Sucks!”

“…the show has become more popular than
a supermodel at a Catholic boarding school.”

Andrew Lock’s Story

Andrew Lock

It all started with potatoes…

As a kid, Andrew challenged every ‘normal’ way of making money that was accepted by all the other kids. While most school age kids were doing a paper route to earn some pocket money, Andrew hated getting up early in the morning so that didn’t seem like a good idea.

One day while traveling on a bus, he overheard some old people complain to each other about not being able to carry bags of potatoes home from the store, and that sparked an idea to create a potato round.

Andrew found a farm that was willing to supply sacks of potatoes and had his parents drive him over to collect them. He then divided the potatoes into small ‘retail’ bags and went from door to door, quickly establishing a little business that earned him 18-20 times more than his school friends were making with their paper rounds, AND he was able to do it after school, not at 5am in the freezing cold of the British winters.

The Rest Is History….

My Interview With Zephan Blaxberg…

Zephan Blaxberg

Was a lot of fun. I’ve know Zephan for a few years now. He would edit my voice over tracks into countless videos he produced for a marketing company. Zephan went on to start his own video production company ZMBMedia and has achieved great success in a short amount of time.

He’s gone on to start his own podcast (Links below) and done a lot of self exploration to live his life on his terms and with a greater sense of purpose.

We discuss how and why he’s done that in our interview. Enjoy.

Click Here To Learn More About The Opportunity In This Episode

This Episode is all about how technology has impacted our economy

John Melley and MIKE! In The Studio

– and different sectors of the economy in ways we never could have imagined before.

A cab driver recently told me his revenue is down 80% due to Uber (!) Do you think Cabbies ever expected the internet to impact their income like this?

“Traditional” BIG Companies Are Impacted Too!

Bic Pens is waging “Fight for your Write” letting us know that Penmanship leads to improved creativity, better reading comprehension and retention of information.

Experts on the Bic web site bicfightforyourwrite.com discuss studies about how handwriting is linked to better learning. How writing and learning are wired together in the brain and how kids who aren’t writing – literally have brains that are “wired” differently than most of the people who listen to this podcast who grew up going to school learning penmanship!

Why do you think Bic got involved? They’re not selling pens like they used to.

Even Retailers on the Cutting Edge of Technology Gadgets…

Staples is seeing a drop in sales in notepads and other things people used to write on. I just got an email from Staples today letting me know they offer Small Business Loans.

They’re looking for other sources of revenue. Why? Technology is impacting sectors of the economy in ways that we never considered.

Can this happen to Voice Over?

I believe it can.

In this episode I discuss why and how I believe we can be replaced…

And I offer an alternative to offset that possibility through the creation of our own products and services that we market and sell.

I Offer YOU an Opportunity to Watch As I Create a Product…

Selfie (A Really Bad One) of Looking over John’s Shoulder…. Get it?

And teach you how to do the same for your future success. An opportunity To Look Over My Shoulder.

How Important Is Courtesy To Your Business?

In this episode I make the case for Common Courtesy in our daily lives and how that carries over to our voice over businesses.

I also reveal a dream I had.

I was in a rut. I was getting tired of how I was sounding in copy. It was sounding too formulaic for me and I needed to do something different. The message my subconscious mind sent screaming to me was: “What if you loved your listeners”?

Wow.

Listen in as I explore these topics with real life stories about how courtesy and politeness (and the lack thereof) can impact your business!

Enjoy!

Gallagher in the Studio with John Melley

So, awhile back I had the opportunity to interview one of my favorite childhood comedians, Gallagher.

Sure, his “Sledge-O-Matic” routine was sure to appeal to a 12 year old boy, but it appeals to adults too.

One bit I remembered was his observations on the inconsistencies of the English language. I marveled at his ability to string them into a story that made you laugh.

Prior to my interview he asked me to record a series of poems he had written. To watch him perform them was a real treat. To record them, an honor. To follow their meaning was an opportunity to appreciate the work of an amazingly clever and creative person.

I share one at the end of this episode.

Some of the thoughts he shares are controversial, but hey, all comedy is at some level and he has strong opinions.

Listen for his thoughts on How to entertain, practice and prepare. Listen to his strategic decisions. Learn why he makes the decisions he does and how/why he chooses a “Stress Free” life.

Lots of gems in this one. Enjoy!

This Episode Is A Pep-Talk For YOU!

I spend some time in this episode encouraging you to keep working on your dream of voice acting and voice over.

Voice Over People are special because we all started doing it because we had or have the dream of using our voices in some form of media. It’s not a common career. If you’re in VO or starting a VO Career you’re working on your goals and dreams.

Many people go through life wishing and dreaming and never doing and end their lives with that regret.

We’re at least working on the VO dream and we should take pride in wherever we are in our journey. We’re in the game. We’re playing. We’re living our dreams.

Never ever give up on it. Keep going. You’ll make it.

Hey It’s Been Awhile

It’s been a rough year for me so far this year. I’ve had to take some time away from the podcast to help my family with some “Stuff” that’s been going on.

It’s given me some time to reflect on what I’ve accomplished and other things I still want to do.

It’s also reinforced the knowledge that we can’t take life for granted and that if we have goals and dreams – then there’s no “Perfect” time to start working on them. “Now” is the perfect time.

I guess someone many years ago summed it up with the phrase “There’s no time like the present.”

Some Inspiring Music

Here Are A Couple of Links to some RUSH tunes that encourage people to go after their goals and dreams:

“Mission” and “Losing It”

Great tunes. Enjoy.

Tania Sims

I have to admit it. I’m a little proud of this. VO Talent Tania Sims is a listener of this podcast and she took some advice from a few of the episodes and wrote her own book called the “Ultimate Resource Guide for New and Aspiring Voiceover Talent: How to Access Valuable Tips and Resources You Need to Start and Continue as a Working Voiceover Talent”

I had to get her on the podcast.

In this episode Tania and I discuss:

• The Importance of who you associate with to help you reach your goals
• Several Books that have helped her take action and grow her business
• Her Book and why she wrote it
• The Importance of Continuous Learning
• The Power of Persistence and so much more.

This was a great conversation loaded with nuggets of powerful ideas and take-aways to help you grow your VO Business.

Here’s A Link to the DeFlame Diet Book I Mentioned.

So I have a great book I want to recommend to you. It’s called “The Deflame Diet: DeFlame your diet, body, and mind” by Dr. David Seaman.

This book is great. I’ve been eating this way for awhile now. If you’re a Voice Talent who has to clear their throat a lot throughout the day, maybe have some post-nasal drip, or are feeling sluggish and run down – you want to check this book out. The link above is an affiliate link through Amazon.com. If you want to see how I’m tracking my daily intake and activities, you can check out my Tracking Log Here. If you want to know why it’s important to track this stuff, you should read my post on the Importance of Daily Tracking here.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

Have you modified your eating plan to help your voice? Please share your thoughts with us below!

It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

Claimed authority for themselves and how you can too.

The DeFlame Diet.

So I have a great book I want to recommend to you. It’s called “The Deflame Diet: DeFlame your diet, body, and mind” by Dr. David Seaman.

This book is great. I’ve been eating this way for awhile now. If you’re a Voice Talent who has to clear their throat a lot throughout the day, maybe have some post-nasal drip, or are feeling sluggish and run down – you want to check this book out. The link above is an affiliate link through Amazon.com. If you want to see how I’m tracking my daily intake and activities, you can check out my Tracking Log Here. If you want to know why it’s important to track this stuff, you should read my post on the Importance of Daily Tracking here.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

Have you modified your eating plan to help your voice? Please share your thoughts with us below!

I’m Back! Did You Miss Me?

It’s been a few months since the last episode.

Honestly, I’ve been in a bit of a creative funk. I discuss this and why I decided to step back and assess where I’m going with this and how businesses can, should and even need to evolve over time.

Enjoy!

The Obstacle is The Way:

This Episode picks up where the last Episode left off. Getting Un-Stuck. I came across this great book and it helps you re-frame what might be holding you back from accomplishing what you set out to do. The Book is The Obstacle is The Way, by Ryan Holiday

I also discuss overcoming my hesitancy to share.

Tribute To Dick Durante

Dick Ddurante

My very first production teacher and mentor Dick Durante passed away this past January. I hadn’t spoken with him in a few years, but I owe a lot to him for the opportunities he afforded me. We became colleagues and friends.

I’m sad to see he’s gone. I’ve included a couple of Dick’s Demos at the end of the episode as a tribute to him.

Rest in Peace, Dick.

It All Started with this Post in the Voice Over Marketing Podcast Group on Facebook:

Hey folks! What are your stumbling blocks/obstacles you face? Hit me.

Then came the questions and comments. Some were humorous like “Stairs” and “Getting up in the morning.”

Bwah hah ha haaaa.

Then they became serious. Things like:

• Pay to Play Sites
• How To Make Money
• The Difference between Marketing, Branding and Networking
• Getting representation
• I even explain how someone who is a professional butterfly collector can make money in voice overs

I tackle ’em all and more in this first of its kind episode of this podcast.

Listen. Take Notes and Enjoy!

Length Matters… but for a different reason than you think:

Listener Ray Girard Asked: Do audition reels over the suggested length really tic agents/clients off? What is the problem with them just cutting it off when they’ve had enough? And… Are Voice Over talent regarded as irritations or do they welcome our reaching out?

I answer his questions, but I think you may find some of the answers surprising – or at least interesting…. I hope.

Listener Kirby Marquez Asked:  Transitioning from pay 2 plays and being a part time voice acting to becoming full time, how to find clients, where to look/network, etc?

How is it Possible I can weave coffee cake and dentists into this answer? Be sure to take notes.

The DeFlame Diet.

So I have a great book I want to recommend to you. It’s called “The Deflame Diet: DeFlame your diet, body, and mind” by Dr. David Seaman.

This book is great. I’ve been eating this way for awhile now. If you’re a Voice Talent who has to clear their throat a lot throughout the day, maybe have some post-nasal drip, or are feeling sluggish and run down – you want to check this book out. The link above is an affiliate link through Amazon.com.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

James Alburger is My Guest in Episode 63:

James Alburger

Audio production, video editing and voiceover have been part of James’ life since he was about 12 years old when he literally taught himself how to edit music with a grease pencil, razor blade and scotch tape. James had a 25-year career with NBC television in San Diego during which he received eleven Emmy Awards for audio production and sound design.

Upon leaving NBC, James opened VoiceActing, LLC as an independent producer, voiceover talent, and performance coach. His book, “The Art of Voice Acting,” was first published in 1998 and is currently in its fifth edition. The book is used by more than two dozen universities as a performing arts text book and is considered “the bible of the voiceover industry” by most voiceover professionals.

The Art of Voice Acting Book

James & John Discuss:

• How Voice Over Has Changed
• ZOOM Technology & Voice Over
• The Dangers of “Demo Mills”
• Why In-Person Workshops are Better than On Line Workshops

What’s the Second Piece of Advice I Give to #VO Talent?

What He Said….

After showing up and positioning yourself for opportunity, the second piece of advice I give to #Voice Over Talent (Veteran and just starting out) is … read. Read everything you can get your hands on. Literally.

• Ingredients
• Even stuff you know nothing about (Especially stuff you know nothing about.)
• Shampoo Bottles
• Boxes
• Food packages
• Contracts
• Labels
• Home Cleaning Products
• Magazines
• Books
• Web Content

Reading materials from all sources exposes you to new content. You never know what topic you may be asked to do a voice session for. The more you learn about, the more you can bring to the table as a voice talent.

Plus you’ll learn something new… which is cool

The DeFlame Diet.

So I have a great book I want to recommend to you. It’s called “The Deflame Diet: DeFlame your diet, body, and mind” by Dr. David Seaman.

This book is great. I’ve been eating this way for awhile now. If you’re a Voice Talent who has to clear their throat a lot throughout the day, maybe have some post-nasal drip, or are feeling sluggish and run down – you want to check this book out. The link above is an affiliate link through Amazon.com.

It was given to me by my trainer Mandla Nkosi. The book explains through scientific research that most chronic diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and a host of others are all caused by eating an “Inflammatory diet.” An inflammatory diet is one that promotes chronic inflammation throughout the body that over time leads to these diseases.

Sources of inflammation are refined sugars and grains – pretty much a good portion of the “Western” diet. The book explains how inflammation gets started and how it affects every cell in our body. It also explains how to “DeFlame” and live a healthier lifestyle. It’s not as crazy and hard to do as you may think. You just need to look out for a few key ingredients and eat whole, unprocessed foods.

Have you modified your eating plan to help your voice? Please share your thoughts with us below!

I interviewed my friend and business coach Rob Berkley shortly before he was diagnosed with cancer about how to get out of a funk, rut, groove, inertia, etc. Something that I have been in for various reasons

Unfortunately, Rob passed away in December of 2018. I wanted our interview to be the next episode of the podcast. It has taken a while to get here.

Rob’s last words to me on our final coaching call were: “John, you’re a ‘Finisher.’ Finish what you start.”

Well, I’ve started a lot of things, this podcast being one of them. I guess I’m not finished with it yet. There are a lot of “Writer Downers” in this episode. Take notes and enjoy.

Rob, thank you for all you shared with me and for listening. Rest in Peace.

Sometimes “Free” advice comes with a cost. Sometimes that cost is simply time to receive the advice and implement it. If it’s good advice then all is well.

Other times it can cost you BIG when you implement BAD advice.

In this Episode I use a recent coaching call with a listener as my outline for this episode where I take on the Voice Over Demo Mills and the Voice Over Commodity Marketplaces.

What Coffee Cake & QVC can teach us about Voice Over

Don’t be a commodity. How do you differentiate yourself from everyone else if you offer your services in the same “Place” where everyone else offers those same services?

In Episode 71 I use a fun example of Coffee cake and QVC to discuss the importance of “Place” and how selecting where you do business has dramatic effects on price and your clients’ resistance to price. Be “Where no one else is.”

Seller’s Remorse?

Ever quote a price on a VO Gig only to regret it later? Did that mindset cause you to think something like: “Heck, I’m only getting $XXX for it and have spent too much time on it already?”

Ring a bell?

In Episode 72 I discuss why solid fees are important for our attitudes and our mindset s we approach and work on the projects we get hired for.
