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

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...

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

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

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

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

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,...
