"In the digital landscape, a website is your digital storefront." - Erikka J

About Erikka

DC born, Atlanta based voice actor, singer/songwriter and entertainer Erikka J is known for her rich powerhouse vocals, soulful tenor to soprano range, and commanding stage presence. As a writer, she is dedicated to giving her fans, or "Jewels" as she has named them, meaningful, honest, and relatable lyrics. During her time in Richmond, Virginia a reputation for delivering quality, heartfelt, attention grabbing performances earned her the honor of opening for Grammy-winning recording artist Chrisette Michele. Erikka has headlined events at notable venues such as DC's historic Blues Alley Jazz Club and the Dumfries Summer Concert Series. Though classically trained at DC's Duke Ellington School of the Arts and influenced by vocal staples such as Mary J. Blige and Billie Holiday, Erikka has a deep rooted love for hip-hop that is evident in her delivery. She lives up to her "Natural Born Hustler" mantra with accomplishments such as landing music video placements on BET Soul, MTV.com, VH1.com, and Russell Simmons' All Def Digital YouTube channel, as well as lending her voice over talents to notable clients such as Google, Amazon, Apple News+, and the DC Lottery.



Top 10 Takeaways

Quick-share concepts from today’s episode:

  1. In a digital age, consumers use websites to verify a business + get more information.

  2. Pick a good domain name + a few others to use as website redirects or to support other branches of your brand. #VOBOSS

  3. As voice actors, you are your brand. Try to make your domain YourName.com. #VOBOSS

  4. Do your research + find a website hosting platform that is best for your business needs.

  5. Your domain name is separate from your hosting platform (although you can use certain hosting platforms to purchase domains!)

  6. If you outsource website design, be sure you can manage the content of your website yourself.

  7. Visit the front-end of your website to understand the client perspective & experience. #VOBOSS

  8. When a user lands on your site, it should be clear what your business is + what you offer. #VOBOSS

  9. Make sure you can back up your website!

  10. Your website should have a great bio about you. If you’re struggling to write it, outsource! #VOBOSS
