UNITY

BLOG Posted By Rodney Saulsberry
Tuesday, November 1, 2016

There is an old saying that is definitely one of my favorites, “Together we stand divided we fall.” I think that saying applies to many things but I choose to let it apply to my voiceover career. When I put all of my talents together, I am much stronger than when I separate my strengths. One body makes me strong, while disunity actually dilutes my message, my power and my overall strength. It hurts my efforts when I don’t use all of my tools together.

Foundation

When you put your strengths together you are forming a concrete foundation that supports your talent base and overall structure. This foundation makes you feel more secure. Through the years, if you continue to practice and use the principals of unity, you will create a “unified career” which leads to a positive and more powerful career.

Your Forte

What is your forte? Do you feel that you are stronger in some areas and weaker in others? Why not unify your forte with your weaker areas? When you unify the whole with the half’s it forms a formidable body that gives you the ability to exceed far beyond your wildest dreams. It’s just another example of unity being far more success oriented than a divided approach to pursuing your voiceover or any other profession career dreams.

CRAFTING A SMART CAREER STRATEGY

BLOG Posted By Rodney Saulsberry
Monday, October 3, 2016

There is nothing more satisfying than coming up with a great plan and then carrying it out to perfection.

DEFINE YOUR GOALS

Search your heart for what you are passionate about and choose goals that you are passionate about. Many people fail to achieve their goals simply because they set goals according to what other people want or what they believe they should want, rather than what they really want. Without passion, you will find yourself unable to get the best effort out of yourself.

PUT YOUR PLAN IN MOTION

Talk is cheap, you have to take action and actually do the things you talk about. Follow these steps below:

MAKE CALLS

Put together a comprehensive list of important contacts that can help you achieve your immediate and future career goals. Schedule a series of times that you will sit down and place calls to the contacts on this important list.

HIT THE ROAD

Don't limit your career strategy to the telephone and things that you can do from the comfort of your home. Be willing and able to hit the road. Schedule meetings with perspective contacts in your town, around the country and even abroad if that is what it takes to advance your career path agenda.

FOLLOW UP

We often get a lot of things started and then we don't follow through. Make sure that you complete every big and small task that you start. Completion of every project that you start opens up the opportunity to start another project that will put you closer to accomplishing future success.

GO OUTSIDE OF THE BOX

There are several methods of achieving success that are tried and true. These methods have been around for years and you would be wise to use them in your smart career path strategy efforts. However, time has also proven that those who were willing to step outside of the norm, have been quite successful too. Sometimes the so-called "unorthodox methods" are the very methods that can get you over the hump and put you on the road to spiritual and financial success! Don't be afraid to think outside of the box.

PROCEED WITH CONFIDENCE

Before you make one call or travel to one contact, you need to be confident about the process. You have to believe in yourself and what you are trying to pursue. With extreme confidence you will increase your chances of being successful not only by way of your own efforts but also by the people who will gravitate to you and want to help you based on your perceived confidence.

CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESS

Along the way you should reward yourself and those who help you succeed every time one of your goals are met. Always take the time to stop nod smell the roses. Celebrating along the way rejuvenates you and gives you energy for the next level. It also lets you and your cohorts know, that at each level of success, progress is properly rewarded.

Second Guessing Yourself

Blog Posted By Rodney Saulsberry

Monday, August 1, 2016

Just the other day, I was thinking about just how precious each and every moment of life really is. It is so important to walk in a positive light and show love and respect to others. We all know the old saying, "we are not promised tomorrow," but the fact of the matter is, we are not even promised the next minute. And so, we should try to lessen if not out right eliminate stress.

One contributor to stress is the action of second guessing ourselves. Sometimes you are faced with major decisions that you mull over for hours and days. You go to others to get their opinions. After some more contemplation and thought, you make a final decision. And then, when the positive results you were hoping for don't occur immediately, you are highly stressed and you question your decision. You second guess yourself.

This has got to stop. You have to trust yourself. You have to believe that when you made the decision after much thought and consideration, it was the right decision at that time. Also, it could be, that in time your decision will turn out to be the right one. Sometimes change takes time and the final positive outcome of your first decision comes about later. In the meantime don't stress and by all means don't second guess yourself.

VOICE OVER AFFIRMATIONS

Blog Posted By Rodney Saulsberry

Wednesday, June 1, 2016

This blog consists of several voiceover empowerment exercises and affirmations.

What is an affirmation? An affirmation is a declaration or statement about a positive action or actions that a person wants to have occur in his or her life. It is a powerful tool for making your dreams manifest.

USEFUL EMPOWERMENT EXERCISES

People have used affirmations for hundreds of years to make their desires and dreams reality. For a long time, it has been believed that the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between actual reality and wishes or suggestions. Consequently, your mind processes affirmations of your dreams as being real. Eventually, those affirmations come true.

In order to maximize the innate power of affirmations, you should repeat the following words with feeling. You must be emotional about these desires and give boundless energy to saying these words daily, weekly, or monthly.

Let there be no physical, emotional, or mental tension while you say your affirmations. The stronger your desire and concentration, the more faith you will have in what you are seeking.

Find the level of repetition that works for you. You can add, delete, and modify these affirmations to suit your needs.

Repeat these words, and make them come true:

I will do things today to make work for tomorrow.

A national television commercial campaign is in my immediate future.

My career will bring me peace, money, and inner strength forever.

Today I will get a job I never auditioned for.

A former employer will recommend me for a major job.

I will always be the best that I can be in auditions.

Today I will get a voice-over job that will pay six figures.
Today I will get a regular role on an animation series.

The I-See-Myself Exercise

Take a look at the affirmations listed below and choose the one(s) that apply to you. Repeat each line twice. Start each sentence with these three words, "I see myself . . . "

going into public speaking

improving my booking ratio

rising above my limitations

helping others achieve their goals

going beyond my wildest dreams

captivating audiences with my voice

at the bank, cashing large residual checks

happy and content with my career choices

making my future bigger than my past

releasing the brakes and accelerating my career

By stating these affirmations, you consciously embrace the ideas and constructively direct your voice-over thoughts and goals.

These affirmations and many more can be found in my book "Step Up to the Mic."
