After 9 days in Mauritius eating amazing food, reading on the beach, kayaking, sailing and generally being insufferable, I'm back behind the mic.
Thanks to Lux Grande Gaube for the trip of a lifetime.
And thanks to the single VO job that paid for it all.
My 'holiday hot take' about business?
Nah... I'm not going to pretend I don't have one.
Because everyone does that joke 👀
I͟t͟ ͟w͟a͟s͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟v͟a͟l͟u͟e͟ ͟o͟f͟ ͟c͟u͟s͟t͟o͟m͟e͟r͟ ͟s͟e͟r͟v͟i͟c͟e͟.͟
Yes, the resort itself was absolutely stunning.
But it only worked because every member of staff I encountered was 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹 and 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲.
Not sycophantic.
Not scared to push back.
Not underpromising to over deliver.
Lux markets itself as a 𝘓𝘜𝘟𝘜𝘙𝘠 brand.
And they absolutely live up to it.
With every. Single. Detail.
What does 'luxury' look (or more sound like) in voice acting?
For me:
✅ Fast and attentive communication.
✅ Instinctive and malleable acting
✅ Rigorous attention to detail.
And to be more specific, this means that I'm going to be even more focused on quality over quantity when it comes to clients so I can offer that high level of service without running myself ragged.
Anyway, great to be back (*sobs into sunhat*).
What did I miss?
