The Aim to be a ‘Seasoned Journeyman’
By Kate McClanaghan, www.voiceoverinfo.com
I’d like to assume the aim of every talent we work with here at SOUND ADVICE, regardless of media specialty (television, film, stage or voiceover), is to become a seasoned journeyman. In other words, to be a professional through and through—one who never ceases exploring beyond the ‘safe’, the ‘comfort zone’, and forever aims to expand upon their performance abilities. One who intends to go the distance to deliver the best results and behave at the top of their form, often against unusual and often difficult obstacles and even great odds. In short, one who seeks to master their role in this business.
Here’s how Merriam-Webster’s defines this term…
sea·soned
2 a: to treat so as to prepare for use b: to make fit by experience (a seasoned veteran) to become seasoned
jour·ney·man noun
2: an experienced reliable worker, athlete, or performer especially as distinguished from one who is brilliant or colorful (a good journeyman trumpeter — New Yorker)
We’ll do our best at SOUND ADVICE to prepare and make you fit to deliver the goods. You simply must commit yourself to the task and make it your aim to be a ‘seasoned journeyman.’
It can be done.
Craftsmen have committed themselves to excellence for generations. Why should today be any different? It doesn’t take much effort to rise above the standard and the run-of-the-mill. It only takes a little effort and commitment to be better than average.
It takes true intention. And we’re here to help you accomplish just that!
