Never underestimate the importance of your elevator pitch. Think of it as the one minute story of your life.

The VO world is a community. Put your ego aside + ask for help! Pilar was given places to record, coaching recommendations, and more by reaching out to her VO community.
Pilar always has a beginner mindset. When she’s feeling stuck, she thinks of it from the angle of a beginner: how can she creatively overcome issues?
