Time and time again I disavow being an expert on ANYTHING. I'm just uncomfortable with it. Maybe...maybe I'm an expert on me...and that's about it. I prefer to say I'm a student. I'm certainly a student of life and people and relationships. I have been for 59 years now. But when people call...

Coffee with CourVO
Fellow VO Social Media geeks Terry Daniel and Trish Basanyi several weeks ago resurrected their highly-successful VO podcast series, and renamed it "Voice Over Cafe". I was lucky enough to be 3rd on their list of guests, and recorded with them the other day. We talked a lot about World-Voices.org...
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...
And now…a word from our sponsors!
You haven't heard much from me, here on Voice-Acting in Vegas about FaffCon4. Sheesh, the thing sold-out in, like...I dunno...a couple of hours? One of the pluses about THIS un-conference is that the seating is limited. That's so YOUR seat has the same great view as everyone else's! Unlike other...
The Audies Gala
The Audies are about the closest thing regular ole voice actors have to a national award. Sure, a voice actor can also win an Emmy...but that's for the Randy Kay's, Melissa Disney's, Joe Cipriano's, and Tom Kane's of the world. The CLIO's are certainly worthy of note, but again, the awards go to...
Mics From NAMM
Voice Acting is apparently not big enough to prompt equipment makers to hold their own convention just for us (YET)...but NAMM comes close. NAMM originally stood for North American Music Merchants, but now it's an international show for manufacturers, affiliates, resellers, and other vendors in...
CES for VO’s
My total time at CES this week was 4 hours one morning...maybe more like 3 hours and 25 mins. That may sound like a lot, but time goes like: (I think you get the idea). The microcosm of the Exhibit Floor is like a futuristic city of commerce with all the finest in hucksterism, sales,...
