How Do I Get My Business Back?

Is your voice over business down and nothing you try seems to be working?

In this Summer Series episode of the VOpreneur Podcast, UK voice actor James Brown asks the question that a lot of VOPreneurs are quietly panicking about right now: my business is down thirty percent, I'm marketing more than ever, what should I focus on to come out the other side intact?

Marc doesn't sugarcoat it.

His eLearning business was wiped out by AI in 2025. Trade pressures pulled his US clients. He lost more than sixty thousand dollars in income from clients who disappeared in a single year. And he's been doing the hard work of figuring out what comes next.

Inside this episode:

• Why Marc's longest-standing eLearning clients told him "we hate it, but our competitors are using it" - and what that means for your business
• The exact pivots Marc made: new coaching, a new commercial demo, a new corporate demo, and why he chose those two genres specifically
• Why Marc is now marketing into Canada after years of focusing almost entirely on the US market
• The audiobook genre Marc swore he'd never touch - and why he just booked his first one
• Why booking rates on pay-to-play platforms are dropping for even experienced voice actors - and what to do about it
• The "money read" concept: how to recognize when the read that was booking for you has stopped working - and how to find the new one
• The single question every voice actor needs to honestly answer right now

If your business has taken a hit and you're not sure what move to make next, this episode gives you a real, honest look at what one working voice actor is actually doing to level up when the market shifts beneath him.
