Making a Living as a Voice Expert: Side Hustles to Diversify Your Income Stream

Saturday, June 23 • 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Presenter: Nancy Bos
Introduced by: Barbara Ann Peters
Location: Montecristo 2-4

“Time is Money” ... at least it is for many independent voice teachers. But this routine doesn’t allow us space to explore our other passions or enjoy life. With financial freedom we have the option of teaching less without hampering income. Achieving financial freedom can be hard to do as a voice teacher, especially if the teacher has no time because they are too busy making ends meet at teaching. However, many independent voice teachers are naturally entrepreneurial. This presentation will explore a variety of side hustles that are just one or two steps away from teaching students, and can lead to financial freedom.
