38. Why Investing In Yourself Changes Everything

For the first time in her career, Yael Rizowy feels confident. Not because she's done a certain number of books, but because she finally stopped waiting for permission to call herself a narrator.In this episode, Audiobook Adventurer, voiceover actress, and comedian Yael Rizowy shares her journey from feeling scattered between acting, improv, and voiceover to booking her first audiobook with Macmillan — and now being invited to speak on a Narrating Bestselling Audiobooks panel at New York Comic-Con!We get into: 🔥 Why "knocking on the door" doesn't mean you're not already in it 🔥 The unglamorous work that pays off later — aka website updates, outreach emails, the stuff that "doesn't feel like anything" until it does 🔥 Why patience (not perfection) is the real skill of a sustainable creative career 🔥 What it means to invest in yourself, even when the outcome isn't guaranteed yetIf you've ever felt like you're scattered, doing a little bit of everything and not sure what's actually working, this episode is proof that it’s all part of the process, not a sign you're doing it wrong.Links: Yael Rizowy.com https://www.yaelrizowy.com/@yummyyael https://www.instagram.com/yummyyaeliWanna find out if narration is the direction your own scattered energy has been looking for? Join me for my free class, Narrate Your Way to Abundance, happening next week. 🎧 Save your seat: www.audiobookadventure.com/classTag us on social @theglobalactor with your takeaways or questions!The Global Actor Podcast is brought to you in large part by sustaining contributions from our amazing Patreon Supporters; Thank you, thank you!
