Aswad for the all us voice over types. I confess I've never heard of either of these two hosts, but that could only...
Are you clear on the difference between the two? I really wasn't sure, so I did a little digging. VoiceBank.net and VoiceRegistry are run by the same people. According to their website: "The Voicebank.net system connects over 150 of the top voice over Talent Agencies to over 1600 Ad...
...skill you'll ever need to be more organized. To save time and be timely. To express yourself adequately. To succeed at Social Media. To double or triple production. I've blogged about this skill before, but it soooo bears repeating. It's the answer I give people when they ask me how I get it...
Many of you know of the close connection this blog has to John Florian's VoiceOverXtra site. I've probably contributed 10 or 12 articles to his site of late. John runs a hi-profile site. VoiceOverXtra gets a lot of traffic, and has a lot of credibility in the Voice Over world. Lately Florian...
