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...
Social Media/Networking
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.
How Social Media Leads to VO Jobs
In June, Terry Daniel, Trish Basanyi and I will be presenting on this very topic at VOICE2012 . That's not all we'll be talking about, of course, but that's what everyone wants to know. "How do you work Twitter or FaceBook so that it leads to jobs?" 'Get that question all the time. I understand...
…and in my spare time…
As I mentioned yesterday in my ill-fated rant about announcers, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is filling Las Vegas' finest hotel rooms for a few days, and the air is thick with the smell of exhibitors pitching clients in their booths, and attendees in their hush-puppies rushing...
PodCast: LinkedIn Tips
Sometimes I forget that Las Vegas is a hotbed for Social Media activity, consistently ranking among top cities for participation, engagement, and innovation. Small wonder, then, that I'd find Lindsay Metter in the mix with a high profile, and a pocket full of useful advice. Lindsay is the force...
Best “Finds” of the Week
The "Daily Digital Digest" is a little newsletter I write for the newsroom every day. In it, I share digital tools for journalists. One good one each day. Sometimes it's a review, or it could be a thoughtful article, a link to something helpful, or some ideas that deserve extra attention. {If...
Do Be an Adobe
The fastest-growing FaceBook group for Voice Artists right now, is one Scott Fortney launched just days ago, and already it has almost 100 members. The name if the group is INSIDE ADOBE AUDITION...so you can imagine as the name implies...it's for those of us who use the Adobe Audition program. ...
Turning Conversation into Cash
Why does the internet generation "get it" about social media, and most of those 30-and-above tend to struggle more with it? Some of it is just the expectation of the promise and familiarity of online technology. But most of it has to do with adapting tried and true relation-building principles to...
Eleven LinkedIn Leads
Time and time again I get questions about LinkedIn. People gush over on FaceBook, and they play on Twitter, but they just aren't sure WHAT to do with LinkedIn. Like the other popular social media platforms, LinkedIn has been smart about constantly morphing their platform to accept new trends. In...
All-In-One
If I've been asked once, I've been asked a thousand times: "How do you keep up with all the Social Media channels, Dave?" I've never actually worried about that myself. I. just. do. But I realize not everyone is as afflicted as me...they just want to get the most they can out of their social...
Social Media & VO
Not many cultural developments have been as ground-breaking as sliced bread. Still, some of some of you say you like to visit here 'cause I'm always throwing out new "stuff" that I find. It could be reviews of new equipment, but often it's Web Tools I discover that I think might be helpful to...
