Do I have to write this blog?Apparently so. I've talked to several people lately who are producing their own demos. I understand. Cash flow ain't flowin' and hiring a producer costs plenty. You've got this hard drive full of all these great auditions you've done, and you're pretty good a mixing...
In a new twist to an old scam, certain demo producers are apparently willing to bring the total demo solution TO YOUR HOME!This is just so wrong on so many levels I don't know where to start.Think I'm kidding?Notice on a San Diego Craigslist post 3 days ago: [click here]I'm an experienced voice...

Many of us who were not lucky enough to attend FaffCamp, did NOT hear Cliff Zellman's big announcement last weekend. Your first introduction to that presentation may have been from my friend and fellow VO blogger Paul Strikwerda, who wrote about Zellman's new brain child "Done By Six" just as...
Woe is me for missing FaffCon5! I've regretted my misfortune ever since, but have been working to make up for the loss. First of all, I got myself into a stand-up group, and of late, I've been familiarizing myself with VoiceZam. The founding force behind this innovative tool for voice actors --...
