VO Newcomers, Do THIS

Greg James is getting started in voice-acting and is a member of WoVO.  We’ve had several conversations over recent months, and I’ve been impressed with his desire to “get it right”.  In trying to mentor him as best I could, I’ve come to respect the effort he’s making to maintain high standards in pricing his talent.

He’s given me the go-ahead to share an e-mail exchange he had with a prospective…

3 Reasons Not To Trust a VO Blog With a Number in the Title

Why?  Because it’s a contrived pitch to get you to read it!  That’s the #1 reason.  You don’t want to be manipulated do you?  Virtually every last blog about and for bloggers mentions this magic formula.  I’m sure there’s some psychological reason behind it…so let me ask you…why did you read this blog after seeing the title? 

REASON #2  We’re all on sensory overload, and trained to absorb…

Like all the other WoVO gatherings, WoVOCon IV will be in Las…

I’ll chalk it up to new website blues.  Regardless, I’m posting it again for those who missed it.

Video Transcribing App from Dave Courvoisier on Vimeo.

The app is by Apple itself (so you’re not gonna find it on Android devices).  It’s pretty new, and it’s called CLIPS.

The folks at in:Quality did it up right for the big NAB show.  Kevin Leach bought a nice big booth in the North Hall with excellent visibility and steady foot traffic.

Upon arriving, I was happy to see any number of Vegas-based voice talent manning the booth, handing out pamphlets, and answering questions.  I was told their presence was due to the efforts of our own Melissa Moats of the Voice…
