No other topic at WoVOCon II captured my interest like this one. This last weekend, I probably spent 5 hours in 3 separate sessions that had to do with marketing...and I still don't get it. "Marketing" is like this mysterious black box that takes all your time and then returns...well...in my...

Today's #WoVOChat on the topic of online casting sites, or P2P's was so full of information, and lacked any rancor. Many of the attendees from all walks of VO contributed some invaluable suggestions that bubbled over into a worthy discussion on many aspects of the subscription sites. Frustrated...
