This blog as little to do with voice-overs, and everything to do with being a fool for technology. It's true that many of us in voice acting are not afraid to show our geek colors. After all, we depend on electronic devices to do our work. CES, though, takes the appreciation of hi-tek to a near...
My world is awash in CES this week. The TV station where I work is only 3 blocks from the Las Vegas convention center, so I'm literally swimming in attendees -- 150,000 of them -- as they come and go. Traffic is a nightmare. On top of that, our news is rife with local and national reports...
What is NMX? An acronym for New Media Expo, a pre-CES convention. CES is the largest of all the hundreds of conventions that descend on Las Vegas every year. The Consumer Electronics Show. This week is CES...the center of the technology universe for one week. Check the bylines on any story...
..I've sponsored Faffcon's Karaoke night, but this is the first one I've witnessed it in person. I won't embarrass anyone with a picture of the hotel lobby where the singing and dancing took place...but I can tell you that my peers have amazing voices. Wow! Instead, here are a couple of pics...
Let's not belabor the obvious. Faffers come to FaffCon to talk. We talk, and we laugh, and we have fun. We hear stories and we tell stories. We enjoy the personal company of those we otherwise see online, and who knows, we might even learn something! Regardless, there are lots of smiles, and...
How cool is it that the burgeoning community of voice actors, coaches, and audio producers... event producers and organizers can mount TWO huge VO conferences in one weekend successfully! Even though it's a myopic view, the social media streams Derek Chappell and I curated over the weekend...
Just because I can't be in Charlotte, NC this weekend for the first-ever FaffCamp, does NOT mean I'm out of the loop. (sniff) I'll be living vicariously through the attendees tweets and FaceBook posts. In fact, my bestie Derek Chappell and I will be riding herd on all the social media posts we can...
In just a little over a month, FaffCon's latest offshot: FaffCamp will take place in Charlotte, NC. (see details here). More like a typical conference (rather than FaffCon's "un-conference format), FaffCamp will nonetheless have a very faffy feel, and you'll see a lot of your friends there....
In the interest of absolute fairness, It behooves me to underscore the opportunities available at the OTHER major Voice Over Conference taking place during the first weekend of May (I've already blogged about Voice World Toronto, organized by the fine folks at Voices.com). What's cool is that the...
We operate in an amazing world of information and connectivity, and voice actors are perhaps more in tune with that than other professions, 'cause we make our living online. The VO world seemed to be humming yesterday. Many of you who frequent social media like I do, may have seen some of the...
