Voice Over Virtual is gaining momentum. The brain-child of VoiceOverXtra's John Florian... VOV keeps growing, and adding new features, and for an out-of-the-box new idea, it's got real legs! To see how it's all coming together, go to VoiceOverXtra and read about the people and plans for this...
Conferences
Camp Faff for 2013
When something’s that good, word gets around. Faffcon is that good. Having attended 3 of the 5 FaffCon Unconferences, and having sponsored all of them, I think I know of what I speak. FaffCon was not only a novel idea for a conference, but a game-changer for voice acting in general. Kudos to Amy...
Five Ways FaffCon Helps Us All
Almost exactly two years ago the first Faffcon was born. I shared that experience with about 35 other believers. Now the 5th Faffcon is about to launch with a purposely limited list of just over 100 attendees, and the roster filled up within hours. I won't be there, but I'm a guaranteed...
FaffCon5!
Never doubt that our business has come of age in the new millenia. BIG TIME. So much is available in terms of networking, relationship-building, and learning/coaching. VOICE2012 is barely over, and FaffCon5 is launching it's enrollment Saturday. This 5th iteration of the fabulous VO confab, and...
Life is a Card
Since October of last year, I've been to five (count 'em...5!) VoiceOver meetups. There was That's Voiceover! in LA, October of 2011; Erik Sheppard's NYC Mixer, Dec '11; FaffCon4 in March '12 in Ventura, CA; APAC/Audies in NYC in June; and now VOICE2012 at Disneyland. I'd have a hard time making...
Conference Heavy
There's no one to blame but me. I've over-conferenced myself. If I go to FaffCon in Charlotte this fall (I know, I know...it's an UN-conference)...that'll be 5 VO conferences in less than a year's time, and that's not counting my MasterMind meetings and other conference calls. This will NOT...
FaffCon4 Finishes
Put a fork in FaffCon4. It's over, but never forgotten. As is always the case, I'm walking about two feet off the ground...my head packed with ideas, inspiration, and intimate memories. The folks on the staircase are all the volunteers who covered all the infinite details to make this...
FaffCon4, Day 2
"...nobody likes the person who comes to a potluck only bringing a fork..." In other words, you came to FaffCon4 to learn. Let us learn from you, too! The wisdom in that statement is understanding that you uniquely have the answer to someone else who has a unique question about voice overs. ...
FaffCon4, Day 1
Ventura, California is nice this time of year (well...ok...all year). 60°F...a little foggy till mid-afternoon, then sunny and pleasant. That was the backdrop for an early-afternoon "whale-watching" boat outing off the coast of California. We saw the Channel Islands, and oil drilling platforms,...
Why We Meet
FaffCon4 begins this Friday, and I'll be there. Will you? That's great, because I'm going there to see you...and you...and you...and you... If you're not going, please watch for our posts on FaceBook and Twitter. Follow the hashtag: #faffcon (duh) I love social media for the immediacy it brings...
