This week on the VO School Podcast we are discussing how an actor markets and brands themselves in 2017 and beyond.
How you present yourself to the world can make or break your career and we discuss the various approaches that can help you to stand out in a crowded field.
What is the difference between branding and marketing? How soon should you start your marketing journey? What are the gatekeepers looking for when they choose talent? And what are the major no-no’s and turn-offs that will hinder your chances?
Joining me this week are two titans of the marketing world - Celia Siegel is the founder of Celia Siegel Management, widely recognized for building strong personal brands for voice talent. Before creating CSM, Celia was a respected talent agent with stints at CESD, JE and Wehmann. A brand builder, certified life and business coach, success strategist and talent manager, Celia has advanced the careers of top VO talent for more than two decades.
Doug Melville is Chief Diversity Officer for TBWA\Worldwide, a top ten ranked global advertising agency. Since joining the TBWA, he’s led efforts that resulted in more than $150mm being spent with multicultural + women owned businesses in the creative space. He’s presented 3 TEDx talks on the topic and made multiple appearances on Fox Business.
