Save Time & Earn More: Smart Outsourcing Tips for Voice Actors

Do you ever feel buried in marketing, admin, and editing tasks—and wonder what you should be doing instead? In this episode, Marc Scott breaks down how to identify which voice over tasks to outsource, why some of the best candidates are the ones you do well but don’t need to do yourself, and where to find help within or outside the VO industry.

🎙️ Learn how to:

• Prioritize what only you can do (studio work, client calls, creative sessions)

• Recognize tasks you procrastinate on—because they often hold the key to progress

• Calculate opportunity cost: would outsourcing a $25/hr task free you up for $500/hr recordings?

• Choose between hiring VAs, niche pros (like audiobook editors), or even applying smart tools/plugins

• Leverage flexible outsourcing strategies: project-based support vs. ongoing help

Get actionable insights on using tools like Nimble, VA for VO, and plugins to streamline your path—and stop busy‑work from eating your creative hours. Perfect for voice actors ready to scale with clarity and control.
