Stuff I find (or people send me) that just might make your VO business run a little more smoothly:
We love Gmail, but even with all it’s functionality, and dripping with G+ integration, still someone found a way to improve it.
How ’bout scheduling your email to send later? Seems simple enough, but it doesn’t exist in the native program.
Here are two plug-ins to solve that:
Right Inbox:
http://www.rightinbox.com/
Boomerang for Gmail:
http://www.boomeranggmail.com/
Both install pretty seamlessly and show up on the Gmail interface when you need ’em.
Here’s another tip: this one is an app called Doddle iOS. (Android here).
The application is billed as a “call sheet” for the film industry. I’m not gonna pretend I know what that means…but I will say you can list yourself on this site as a talent, and when producers or casting agents need a voice talent, ADR, narrator, etc., it’d be nice to see your name pop up, now, wouldn’t it? I guess that’s what the “call” is?
Go to their website first, and fill out the talent application: http://doddleme.com/home/, and click on the “CLICK HERE TO GET LISTED” button on the right side. The program leads you through a sign-up process that opens an account for -zero- dollars. Having said that…Doddle gives you several different occasions to pay for the privilege of making your listing stand-out, and for adding such things as your web-address and social media presence, etc.
