Choose a recent or relevant article and use one of these templates to introduce it to your community. Summarize key points or controversies to give context, then pose a clear question or prompt. Pin or highlight discussions for higher visibility, and encourage both quick reactions and deeper responses by replying yourself or tagging knowledgeable members.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, keep introductions concise for fast-scrolling feeds but include enough context for deeper forums or groups. Use bold or italics for article titles where supported, and always link directly to the article for easy access.
Each template includes prompts that can be tailored to niche-specific scenarios. For example, you can initiate conversations by asking members to share their experiences with eLearning narration versus video game character work. Consider using industry terminology and referencing challenges unique to each niche—such as script pacing in commercials or character consistency in games—to make conversations more relevant and engaging for your community.
Voice Over professionals often face issues like vocal fatigue and maintaining vocal stamina. Use the templates to post articles or studies on vocal health, then invite members to share their routines or tips for protecting their voices during long recording sessions. You can also include expert interviews or research findings to prompt evidence-based discussions.
Absolutely! The templates support articles covering topics like negotiating usage rights, handling directed sessions, or clarifying project specs. You can post such articles and prompt members to share their own strategies for managing client expectations or navigating tricky feedback, drawing on real-world Voice Over scenarios.
Several templates are designed for opinion-based articles. Share recent news or case studies about AI voices and use the conversation prompts to ask members how they feel about these emerging technologies, how it has affected audition opportunities, and what skills VO artists can develop to stay competitive.
Post articles on current audition trends, required formats, or demo reel production tips, then use the template questions to invite members to critique sample reels, share their most successful audition stories, or discuss how they adapt their reels for different genres (e.g., animation vs. corporate narration).
Utilize templates to feature articles that outline the differences between SAG-AFTRA (union) and non-union opportunities—covering topics such as pay rates, protections, and audition processes. Encourage members to share personal experiences, ask questions about joining the union, or discuss the pros and cons they've encountered in their own Voice Over journeys.
