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...

The Buzz About Wolfson

Isn't it cool to see the VoiceOver business mature and grow right in front of your eyes? Witness FaffCon.  Now 5 UNconferences in the history books, and the collective good which has come from the events is untold. Then there's Erik Sheppard's NYC Holiday Mixer, the VOICE conferences, EWABS,...

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...

Happy Belated Birthday ACX, Jason Ojalvo Looks Ahead to Year Two

May of 2011 the Audiobook Creation Exchange was opened to the public.  (see my original blog, May 12, 2011 about this) A year later, I think it's safe to say the service is a big success...answering a lot of needs: 1) For the consumer:  allowing for many many more book titles to be available in...

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...

Audacious Audies

In the big house of possible avocations in this world, voice acting takes up almost no space at all...and within that small closet of voice careers, the audiobook narrator is perhaps the most scarce - tucked in behind the scarves and used umbrellas in the back. Maybe that's why, when ANYONE shows...

Javits Jabbering

Javits Jabbering

In the heart of Hell's Kitchen in NYC...there sits the gargantuan Jacob Javits convention center. The modest gathering, there, for the Audio Publishers Association Conference barely needed a small corner of huge hall for Monday's one-day audiobook conference, but the talk was mighty. From 8am on...

APAC Arrives

APAC Arrives

'Not your normal voice over crowd.  In fact, the word pairing "voice over" is almost verbotten here at the AudioBook Publishers Association Conference in NYC. And yet, I see a lot of people here who would describe themselves that way, just not when they're around AudioBookpublishers and producers....

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...
