I've been trying to avoid going just like hitting those bare minimum standard, like industry rates, with clients and saying: what if we create something that people are really excited to work with you and with me, if I'm producing something, because we're not just scraping the bottom of the barrel, we are we're creating an opportunity for abundance, you know, yeah, but does that help at all?
Ever wondered what it takes to thrive in the voiceover industry? In this episode of '2nd Cup', Tim Heller sits down with Nick Steen, a seasoned voice, stage, and film actor with a decade of experience.

Tim and Nick dive deep into the nitty-gritty of building a sustainable business model in the VO industry. They chat about the various genres of VO work and the pricing models that come with them.

His TikTok channel, DIY VO Guy, is a testament to his passion and dedication, offering tips, tricks, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his craft.
But it's not all business talk. Nick opens up about the challenges he has faced in the creative industry and how he overcomes them. One key takeaway is his belief in creating value for clients rather than settling for the 'bare minimum' rates. He talks about fostering an environment where both parties are excited to collaborate, leading to more fulfilling and abundant opportunities. The conversation also touches on the crucial aspect of self-care.
Nick credits his wife as his endless source of inspiration, reminding him to prioritize sleep and maintain balance in his hectic schedule.
