Ethics in Voice Acting
Ethics? Really? I just need VO jobs! OK, I hear ya, but believe it or not it's all tied in together, and it's also best described in the context of community. Next week at VoiceOver Atlanta, J Michael Collins is moderating a panel on this very topic. As an intro to...

Forget NYC & LA
People everywhere (in so-called "Flyover States") are making successful careers in voice over. Case in point is Kelley Buttrick, of Bishop, Georgia. Read her inspiring "everywoman" story in the online version of the Athens, GA Newspaper. No, she may not be landing...

Do What Works, Drop What Doesn’t
What works for your doesn't always work for me...and vice versa. A comment on a VO forum recently noted that when seeking freelance VO jobs, it's all about relationship. He said that FaceBook, Twitter, and LinkedIn was a time-suck, and "if you can't get on the phone...
