from The VOHeroes Podcast · host David H. Lawrence XVII

Hey there, hero!Actors, voice talent and writers often face the question of whether they should run their creative practice as an individual, being paid as an employee, or as a company, paid via invoicing on a more formal basis.And the answer is……it depends.In this episode, I take a look at the options you have in either case, not as a professional business manager, but from both sides of the equation.What has your experience been when making this decision? As I say in the episode, please don’t offer any advice to anyone (even if you are a professional at money management and/or taxes), but let me know in the comments below what you’ve decided and what led to that decision. If you want to.
