(1) VoiceOverCity.com looks like another one of those sites I've been writing about lately...the proliferation of online VO places where you can interact, be a part, and get some information, maybe even some new clients. I think Steven Lowell of V123 is behind this one, but I haven't had the...
VOICE 2012
Air Turn
That's actually a hardware/software product....not a Nike ad slogan. The folks from Air Turn had a booth at VOICE2012, and the product generated a healthy buzz among conference attendees. Air Turn is a Bluetooth footpedal apparatus that works with your iPad or Android tablet to turn pages...
VOICE2012 – Day One at Disney
One could easily miss the predictable and comfortable routine protocol of the VOICE conferences, but you'd have to have attended at least the last three to see it. I see it...from the inside. James and Penny are nothing if not thorough. In the lead-up, there's the hand-wringing about venues, and...
7 Ironclad Tips for Surviving and Thriving at VOICE2012
2007. That's when it all started. At a smokey Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I was a relative unknown, but organizers James Alburger and Penny Abshire took a chance on me as host, and here we are again 5 years later. 2008 and 2010 in Los Angeles, and now 2012 at Disneyland. ...
Seminar Preview
The month of May is gone, and I'm still trying to figure out where February went. June brings with it the VOICE2012 Conference. There's still time to sign-up, BTW, although travel costs are starting to get expensive at this late juncture. During the event, I'll be presenting on the finer points...
Conference Heavy
There's no one to blame but me. I've over-conferenced myself. If I go to FaffCon in Charlotte this fall (I know, I know...it's an UN-conference)...that'll be 5 VO conferences in less than a year's time, and that's not counting my MasterMind meetings and other conference calls. This will NOT...
Using the Calm Before the Storm
When life is: "How much can I pack in 24 hours each day"...it's not good. Blessedly, I'm in a bit of a lull...a breather...and a welcome one, 'cause when June hits, it hits hard. APAC/BEA/Audies is in a couple of weeks in NYC, then VOICE2012 in Disneyland right after that. I just finished a...
‘Coupla Noteworthy Deadlines
My my how time flies! A minute ago VOICE2012 was more than half-a-year off, and now it's about a month-and-a-half away...how does that happen? Executive producers of the VO conference James Alburger and Penny Abshire have sent out about a million notices about today's deadline. The BEST pricing...
5 VOICE2012 Myths Dispelled
Two short months from today (4-12-12) the 4th rendition of VOICE will kick off in SoCal. #1 was in Vegas in 2007, #2 in 2008 in Century City, #3 also in Century City in 2010, and now VOICE2012 at the Disneyland Hotel, June 13-16 (but the Red Carpet reception is on the 12th). I've been a host or...
…but who’s counting?
June may seem like a long time off... You'd think that...but then, really...can you honestly account for the passing of January, February, and March already? Right. So then, maybe not such a good idea to ignore the calendar further, eh? Maybe you missed FaffCon, or maybe it's time to get serious...
