Cold? Choose a Fabby Feb VO Working Vacation

Looks like the voiceover community has finally discovered what most every other conceivable business has known for years:  Las Vegas is the premiere conference destination in the world. Well OK, it's not quite that serious.  But it IS growing.  January saw Marice Tobias holding her 3rd all-guy...

An Immersive Vegas VO Weekend

An Immersive Vegas VO Weekend

Often, on this blog, I've made the point that no level of participation short of immersion is worthy of my time in voice-over.  This weekend, I lived that maxim. Tiffany-echelon VO coach and producer Marice Tobias held her third Las Vegas all-male VO workshop Saturday and Sunday.  About 15 awesome...

On The Floor at CES

On The Floor at CES

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...

Send Me on a Mission

Send Me on a Mission

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...

VO at NMX

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...

Remember when I said:  "So...What's Next?" last week? Well, below is a partial answer to that question. When either Diane Merritt or Lisa Biggs says "jump", I say "how high?".  Since both of them asked me to post this notice on my blog, how could I say no? You gotta plan ahead for these things,...

So…What’s Next?

That's the thing about FaffCon... once it's over, you realize the rest of the calendar still exists, but nothing seems to hold a candle.  Ya know? Nonetheless, a number of sterling events are being planned for the voice-over community, and I'm listing them here in case you missed the announcement....

For Three Years…

..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...

Pre-Faff TomFoolery

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...

Killarney to Kilkenny

Most English-speaking countries don't find much use for the "K" in their verbiage. Ireland makes up for that.  K's abound in their location names. Yesterday, dodging raindrops all day I was able to capture this picture of 15th century Muckross Abbey in the ring of Kerry.   Today, 'captured...
