In this episode of The Mike Lenz VO Podcast, I sit down with voice actor Mike Previti to talk about building a sustainable voiceover career later in life—and what it really takes to make the leap from "safe" to creative fulfillment. Mike's journey began with childhood acting gigs in the Boston area, shifted into years as a touring musician and singer-songwriter, and eventually led him back to the microphone—this time as a full-time professional voice actor. We talk candidly about leaving a high-stress corporate job, betting on yourself, and doing the slow, steady work required to grow a VO business. We also dive into: Why the voiceover industry is not linear—and why that matters The role of social media in building visibility and credibility Networking, workshops, and unexpected referrals Faith, patience, and trusting the long game Mike's three key principles: Be patient. Be intentional. Honor the work.
