They don’t Rate us- The Visa and Rate Card Gist
After a long break Tcode and Serah Johnson return to the podcast booth with stories, updates, and real talk! In this candid episode, the duo shares what kept them away, including personal growth, setting up home studios, power and data struggles, and near-attempts at traveling abroad.
They also dive into one of the most talked-about topics in the voiceover industry today — the rate card conversation. From different perspectives to the challenges of standardizing pricing, they explore the nuances of this heated debate and why it’s important to find balance.
