If you're geographically removed from a major market then join in and let's talk about the ways we handle marketing, representation, our home studios and anything else we "out in the sticks" folks can think of.

Darla...I know how you are feeling...it's so exciting really! Would love to hear some of your stuff since the tweaks!
I sure hope I haven't taken too many shortcuts! My studio space has evolved, but I cannot get rid of the highway noise outside, so do most of my recording late at night. (though I am rural, my home sits on a fairly busy 2 lane country highway) I have an inkling that using a directional microphone will help me in this. I have a wonderful mic, and I love how I sound in it, but it picks up everything! I am thinking 1.) get someone in to evaluate 2.) build a sound-proof room in here somehow 3.) change mics 4.) keep on keepin' on! Anyway...Philip-great points, especially the idea of being client-centered. I suspect that's great advice for everyone, but particularly germane to those of us on the outskirts.
I'd be interested to know if you had it first and used it as marketing leverage or, if the need was there and you invested.
Becky and Darla - congratulations! Both big milestones.
The logic behind the above is CLIENT centred NOT voice centred. Most clients can hire a good voice and a good studio to get what they want. If they find a remote working VO they need to be certain that they are getting quality because if they don't they'll simply go elsewhere.
Like any business, VO work is a risk because you need to spend BEFORE you earn and there's a chance you may not earn a penny.
