Social Media networking, sometimes (in the recent old days) referred to as New Media networking….
How to make it work in your voice over business.
My gratitude to voice actor Karen Commins for her tip that forms the basis of today's blog. Despite the points I made in my previous article on "A VO's Place on Pinterest", Karen was still skeptical about the value in this new Social Network for her VO business. But upon further research she...
...or is it? You get to decide...and at some point, you really HAVE to, or you're wasting your time. Remember the question I posed a couple of weeks ago: Can VO Be TOO Social? The question has also since cropped up on (of course) a FaceBook Group, with a wide sample of responses. Are you still...
PowerPoint presentations are ubiquitous. Who hasn't done one, or at least thought about doing one? The ole .ppt is at the center of just about every presentation, webinar, and teleseminar I've ever held or attended. For instance, a PowerPoint slideshow was at the heart of the recent VOICE2012...
What was I saying just last week about the proliferation of online "community sites" for voice-actors? (See: Can VO be TOO Social?) Among the plethora of current choices is a relatively new online site called Voice and Studio - The fastest growing media professional's network in the world. Voice...
Life can be messy. Work too. Perfect formulas for success are a phantom. There are a lot of people who think they have the answers. Self-help books. Coaches. Webinars. Seminars. How-To Books. Sometimes I think I have the answers too...and I've passed along some suggestions here 'n' there in...
If you look closely, you'll see the offhand comments here 'n' there...not malicious...instead, almost confused: "Another FaceBook Voice Over Group???!!" -- or (cynically) -- "What we need is another social media site for Voice-Overs!" Voice actors quickly embraced the enabling power of the...
Interested in Pinterest?...you're not alone. Pinterest is 3rd in Social Media usage only after FaceBook and Twitter. Its growth factor supersedes both those social networks when THEY were hot. And if you're like most people and you're confused by Twitter, and for some inane reason eschew...
"People Soshalize. They don't care how it's spelled. They just do it." That's Soshable.com's tag line. Well, actually some people DO care how it's spelled, but that's another post for another time. Regardless, Soshable.com is one of my favorite Social Media blogs these days. Sometimes they put...
The month of May is gone, and I'm still trying to figure out where February went. June brings with it the VOICE2012 Conference. There's still time to sign-up, BTW, although travel costs are starting to get expensive at this late juncture. During the event, I'll be presenting on the finer points...
"Oh yeah!...I'm on LinkedIn...I just don't use it much." ('Wish I had a Neumann for ever time I heard that!) In about three weeks and three days I'll take the stage with Terry Daniel and Trish Basanyi at the Disneyland hotel during VOICE2012 to talk Social Media strategies. Terry will present...
