Every single voice Talent should be listening to VORadio

Promoting yourself or your business can be difficult for some. Whether it is a simple 30 second Elevator Pitch or a live Presentation, it can take us out of our comfort zone. Is it worth the effort? This was me, many moons ago (1996 I'm guessing) promoting a live stand up comedy event, that the talented Geoff Stainton promoted at the Leopold Hotel. If I remember correctly, he came to me and said he needed a photo to promote the event in the Freo local paper. He asked me to grab a camera and thrust the tartan bunnet and face mask into my hands and told me to put them on. FYI - The event was a success and if you're a Comedy Historian, it was the first time Jim Jefferies was recorded live doing stand up comedy. Still have it on DVCPro somewhere. Moral is, when it comes to talking in front of people or a camera, don't take yourself too seriously and start out slowly by find a presenting technique that works for you and practice. Yes, it is well worth the effort, as we all like to do business with those we know like and trust. Although a funny hat and mask are optional. #PersonalBranding #VideoMarketing #VMPerth #ProbablyStillGotThatTShirt #WhatMask?

Another bucket-list item checked off: this time seeing Frank Skinner live! Technically I saw him in Edinburgh last August, but as it was only 10 minutes in a compilation show, I didn't count it done. But last month I did it properly, watching his show 30 Years of Dirt a couple of rows back from the front 😍 The show itself was brilliant - his performance seemed effortless, blending both rehearsed and clearly off-the-cuff material like it had been written. But I'm sharing today a moment before he took the stage. It was during the intermission and his tour manager was preparing the stage after Frank's support act. Most people were off getting drinks, so I was rewarded with an uninterrupted view. It started with him replacing the microphone - ostensibly identical, but clearly for a reason, but what followed was magical. Very deliberately, he pulled the full length of the cable along the stage and then started coiling it up at the base of the mic-stand in a small figure-of-eight. What I noticed most was the care he took, each loop was repeated until it was identical; it was clearly important. Why did this stand out to me? At FIFUM, we’ve established attention to detail as one of our core values. It’s often the little things that make a big difference, and seeing someone else place such importance on precision was inspiring. Is attention to detail important for your business? #FIFUM #values #comedy

Do FRIENDS TV Show actors still receive money from the show? 💰 We all love Friends, the iconic sitcom that continues to bring us laughter year after year. But here's a surprising fact: the cast of Friends is still raking in millions of dollars annually, even though the show ended years ago! 😲 How is this possible? This is the business side of things. While the last episode of Friends aired in 2004, the cast continues to earn a whopping $20 million (around ₹166 crore) annually! The secret lies in a concept called residuals or royalties. 💡 When the actors signed their contracts, they negotiated a percentage of the show's future earnings. So, every time Friends is streamed on Netflix (where it boasts a massive 50 million fan base!) or on TV, or licensed elsewhere, Warner Bros. studios make money and the cast's contract guarantees them a 2% share of these royalties! 💼 So, even though they're not actively filming new episodes, they continue to benefit from the show's enduring popularity. This is the power of residuals and royalties when the show is popular in the entertainment industry! What do you think?

One of the interesting things about having your own off-Broadway magic show (The Broadway Magic Hour) is you get a crash course in ticketing platforms, performance venues, promotion, lighting, sound, seating arrangements, and the economics of producing a successful, profitable show. It's a great lesson in keeping your eye on the big picture. You're not just in the magic business. You're in the entertainment business.
