Geekhood status does not mean you have an osmotic mind...it just means you love the idea, the smell, the feel, the allure of technology.Much of the hardware/software challenges that come with being a voice actor are fun for me...but for some reason, the finer points of microphone pickup patterns,...
There is no more satisfying practice for the perfectionist OCD person than creating a list.Know anyone like that? Then pass along this blog article...written by a perfectionist OCD list-making fool! (me)...and before I even get to my list of lists... you should know about the ultimate listing...
Isn't it lousy that we can't get hardware vendors to recognize and market to voice-actors exclusively? I guess it's because they just don't think voice actors constitute a big enough market. Instead we see all sorts of reviews for musicians, engineers, singers, studios, etc.That doesn't mean we...

Every time I see 2.9% shaved off the top of a PayPal payment I grit my teeth.There have been endless VO forum threads about this, and a vast majority say they just write this off as the cost of doing business. They claim the charge on their yearly tax return as a transaction fee. Maybe so, but...
