13168: Celebrate Both Your Highlight Reel AND Your Blooper Reel

Raw transcript:

I want to have some fun this episode of
uh the podcast I’d like to uh suggest
that um to lessen the embarrassment of
mistakes and to
raise uh the learning level of what
happens when you fail at something to
something
hilarious uh I’d like you to consider
celebrating both your highlight reel and
your blooper reel and and I’ll tell you
what I mean by that when we come back
with this full episode of the vo Heroes
[Music]
podcast everybody wants to put together
a great highlight reel a great demo reel
of all the different things that we do
really well as voice Talent as actors
makes sense it’s like you know you want
to show people what you’re capable of
and you really want to focus on the
things that you’re best at and
As you move through your career it’s a
good idea to look back at the things
that you really screwed up badly and
instead of trying to forget them
celebrate them take a moment and go wow
did I choose the wrong approach for that
or what because when you do that when
you have these bloopers these screw-ups
these these mistakes these
failures that’s when the gold comes out
of things not to do
remember my recipe for Success do more
of what works and less of what doesn’t
and you can’t help but be successful but
you got to know what doesn’t work and
one of the ways of finding out what
doesn’t work is to utterly and abysmally
fail and then go and look at that and go
huh see there yeah I’m capable of doing
absolutely crap work I I just but I
learned you know that choice wasn’t the
best choice to make so here’s my here’s
my little bit of advice that you might
want to keep in your back pocket when
you feel embarrassed or you feel like
such an utter failure celebrate your
blooper reel right along with your
highlight reel and see if that doesn’t
balance things out for you I don’t want
you to feel bad about your mistakes I
want you to feel enriched by your
mistakes yeah all right so tell me what
you think about that in the comments
below I’d love to hear what you have to
say if it’s something something that you
