A VO's Journey is about helping new voiceover artists grow their business by listening to my journey to becoming a full-time voice actor. I have been an actor, coach, director, and teacher for over 20 years. I started six years ago in the voice-over industry and wanted to create a way to document my journey so other voice over actors could benefit from it. Voiceover is now my life, and I love every moment of it.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Today I finished a 4 month experience in listening to every one of Anthony’s podcasts. Being new to VO Anthony’s podcast and Facebook group are an excellent place to start. I first listened to the podcasts that I felt applied to me the most…the would be the most helpful, but after listening to those I knew I had to listen to the rest. It’s been worth every minute of listening. Anthony is an incredible success story and truly makes you feel like you can be successful in the crazy world of VO as well.
rollincode3 · Dec 2021
Getting into VO can be a bit overwhelming if you don’t know the Ins and outs of this business and career. Anthony is a great guide for getting into and growing a VO business. Very down to earth and knowledgeable from first hand experiences, everything is explained in an “Everyman” way that anyone can understand and use successfully. A VOs Journey podcasts are a goldmine of wisdom from a VO talent that has been through it. Highly recommend!

I have been employed as a voice actor for a number of years, but only recently, I started exploring what it would take to do freelance VO work; be my own boss. I found Anthony Pica’s podcast on a search and have been binge-listening ever since. Anthony covers it all: from home-studio setup to tips on marketing yourself on freelance websites like Fiverr. If you are new to VO, or have been working in the business for some time and just need an encouragement, then check out VO’s Journey!

I credit Anthony Pica’s content to finally getting me actually recording and earning through voiceover work. Great, accessible, free content. Great courses and coaching, too! I’m starting to feel like some momentum is building and really excited to see where things go next. Thanks, Anthony!
