The 15-Year “Overnight Success” Truth No Voice Actor Wants to Hear, with Rider
Episode 339
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
If you’ve ever wondered why your “year 2” doesn’t look like someone else’s “year 15,” this episode is for you. Rider (TV narration, promo, and one of the most compelling keynote speakers you’ll hear at a conference) breaks down the truth behind “overnight success” in voice over, what actually compounds over time, and why talent is only a small part of the equation. We get into the mindset and attitude side of the game most people ignore, how to stay hungry without burning out, and why you need a mission statement that can pull you forward when you’re not feeling it. Also, yes… we talk barbecue. A lot. Listen now, then ask yourself: what are you going to DO with what you heard? PODBEAN — SHOW NOTES (bullets + links) In this episode with Rider, we cover: • Why “overnight success” is usually a 15-year build • Talent is only part of the equation, what actually moves the needle • Starting “the wrong way” (guest bathroom studios, janky gear) and still building a career • Why rushing the process breaks people, and how patience becomes a strategy • “You’re auditioning for your own job”, staying hungry, staying humble • The mindset piece most voice actors skip, confidence, courage, gratitude, and resilience • The mission statement framework, goals vs mission, present tense, and why clarity matters • What to do on days you’re not feeling it, and how to reset your state • The VO Life Coach app, what it is, who it’s for, and how it works • Rider’s other show, Tri-Vio Pursuits (with Matt Baker + Mandy Fisher) CONNECT WITH RIDER 🖱️ Rider Website - https://ridervo.com 🖱️ VO Life Coach - https://volifecoach.com 🖱️ Rider on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ridervos 🖱️ Rider on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ridervos 🖱️ VO Life Coach on TikTok - https://tiktok.com/@volifecoach 🖱️ VO Life Coach App - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vo-life-coach/id6756729788 🖱️ Marc Scott on Instagram - https://instagram.com/marcscott 🖱️ Marc Scott on YouTube - https://youtube.com/@MarcScottVO 🖱️ VOpreneur® on YouTube - https://youtube.com/@vopreneur RESOURCES FOR VOICE ACTORS * VOpreneur® ➡️ Visit https://vopreneur.com * Get an instant $25 credit when you sign up for VoiceZam ➡️ Visit https://voicezam.com/marcscott * For voice over services: ➡️ Visit https://marcscottvoiceover.com * Join the VOpreneur Facebook Group ➡️ Visit https://facebook.com/groups/vopreneur If you need guidance with your voice over business or learning how to more effectively market, I can help.
