Two Things:#1Anytime Pat Fraley shows up in Las Vegas, it's a good thing.Everybody's favorite VO Coach is making his appearance in So NV in early October for an AudioBook Narration Master Session. 'Not sure how Pat does it, but no matter how many times you've studied with him, he makes you feel...
Don't fault me or WoVO for focusing so much on voiceover compensation rates lately. We're only trying to keep up with the crazy pace of this industry. No one topic garners more interest among freelance voice actors than this issue. World-Voices Organization members site "rates" as one of their...
