Hi there. My name is Crispin Freeman, and I'll be your guide through the world of voice acting.

If you'd like to know more about me, feel free to check out my personal website at www.com.

For this episode, I wanted to continue answering questions from my podcast audience.

For those of you who may not be as familiar with the podcast, in past episodes I've given out a phone number where you can call in and lead me a question about voice acting as a voicemail.

From time to time, I'll pick the most relevant questions I receive and answer them here on the podcast.

Let's get started.

Let's answer some questions from you, our listeners.

Hi, my name is Jeremiah, and I'm calling from the lovely Bealton, Virginia, and Falkirk County.

My question for you is, you've had a lot of time teaching and you've seen a lot of types of students come into the doors of the voice acting mastery workshops.

And I was wondering, what do you define as a great student?

I know that you have to do things about being relentless, being inspired, and having various types of training.

But is there, I guess, a genetic waft about certain types of students and the success that you see they have?

Thank you for the podcast. I appreciate it.

Well, thanks for your time. Have a great day.

Hi there, Jeremiah. You ask a very insightful question, and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to answer it.

In fact, I think it's so important, I'd like to make it the focus of this entire episode.
