Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Katabelle Ansari, a voiceover actress based in Denver, CO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is in voiceover and sound production. My customers are writers, storytellers, directors, and producers who are looking to add voice & sound to their games, podcasts, commercials, training scripts, books, children's content, or project.
Tell us about yourself
I like to say I started in high school theater because that's when I began to learn more about acting. I went to a Community College, workshops, and classes for acting. Then, I started auditioning for different projects and practiced recording. Every day, I can't wait to work with other people and learn about the world, curriculum, projects, and stories they have to share.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Meeting others in my field, working with veterans in the industry, signing posters at a local convention for the first time, and holding a physical copy of a DVD & game I've worked on are some of my biggest accomplishments.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Auditioning and taxes.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
If you're thinking about acting:
- Take classes & workshops.
- Audition!
- Begin working on a demo reel, whether a commercial, game or animation.
- Listen to other talents and practice, practice, practice
