Everything You Need to Know Before Recording Your First Voice Over Demo with Syan Newton
Jul 23, 2026
DON'T RECORD UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO THIS
Syan Newton is ready to record her first voiceover demo - but she has questions. How do you know when you're ready? How much should you spend? And how do you find the right producer?
In this Summer Series episode, Marc gives Syan everything she needs to walk into that demo session with confidence - including why spending more is an investment and not an expense, the producers he's personally worked with and recommends, and the red flags that tell you to walk away fast.
He covers the two sides of readiness - what your coach tells you and what you feel in your gut, the danger of kicking the can down the road with one more session, the ROI math that reframes the whole conversation, what a truly great demo producer does differently, and why your first demo will likely have the shortest shelf life - and why that's completely okay.
Spend $2,500 to make $100,000? Every time.
