Finding Success Through the Power of Your Voice with Earl Thomas | RR283

Relationships Rule

What’s it like to have a career built on the power of your voice?

Earl Thomas knows. He has the perfect nickname for his career journey – he is known as "The Voice,". Earl and I sit down to talk about the world of voiceovers, broadcasting, and public speaking. Earl shares how he got his start, his love for voice work, and how the industry has evolved. We explore his experience in radio and voiceover gigs, from commercial spots to narrations, and even telephone prompts. Earl’s passion for connecting with people through his voice is clear, and he explains how curiosity and lifelong learning keep him motivated.

Earl also opens up about his mental health journey and how stand-up comedy helped him through tough times. We wrap up by discussing his excitement for what’s next, including future podcast guests and the importance of not giving up on what you love.

Highlights:

• How to break into the voiceover industry and the range of opportunities available, from commercials to narration and public speaking.
• The importance of mental health and how creative outlets, like stand-up comedy, can be a powerful tool for coping with challenges.
• Why voiceover work isn’t just about having a great voice — it’s about adapting your tone and energy to fit the message and audience.
• The role of curiosity and continuous learning in staying relevant in any industry, especially in broadcasting and voice work.
• Earl’s approach to overcoming setbacks and why persistence is crucial for success in any field.
