Voice Over Hardware, Voice Over Software and other VO Tools
Do I have to state the obvious? WiFi-enabled portable recorders include smartphone and tablet devices. Auditions on iOS and Android devices using apps now available are landing gigs, and satisfying customers who can't tell the difference. Not only are they Wi-Fi enabled, but they're...
As voice talent, we see a simplistic view of the distance remote-recording transaction. The producer or audio engineer contacts us, we talk into the mic, they record it...we dust off our hands, and are done. That's why the ISDN alternative technologies look so good to us. Cheaper,...
Remember yesterday how I was talking about big changes afoot in broadcasting due to the disruptive nature of the internet? (see: MEDIA REALITIES) The history of radio shows us there are ways to survive this sea-change. When TV came along, radio didn't go away. It just morphed, and fit itself...
Have I mentioned that the TV station I work for as a news anchorman has been sold? Little wonder. We were a one-station group. Now we're part of a media holding company that owns 110 TV stations. Listening to the founder and CEO in a staff meeting Tuesday clued me in to the revenue streams...
No one knows what to get me for Christmas. They ask, and I shrug. Oddly enough, I have no trouble finding stuff to buy for myself. Here's why: I'm a geek and frequent geeky online & brick 'n' mortar places It's complicated -- literally -- the stuff I want is hard to understand I'm impatient,...
Maybe you're absolutely satisfied with the anti-piracy technology known as i-Lok. If so, you're one of a disappearing breed. The dizzying hoops you have to jump through in credentialing your newly-purchased, and i-Lok-protected program mostly feels clicking "I agree" to the 21-page Agreements and...

What I'm about to reveal harkens back even further to any number of articles I've written over the last five years that indicates the certain and now accelerating death march...
Just a few days ago, I posted a quick blog about Telos' Z/IP product. More than just an ISDN codec, it also has IP functionality built-in. My point in writing about it was that here is one of the world's premier ISDN codec producers, tipping their hat to the future, seeing the writing on the IP...
Yes...I know...ISDN is not dead yet. OK, got it. But when one of the top makers of ISDN codecs begins moving aggressively to design and market its newest IP solution for remote hi-fidelity recording, it moves the needle a little further towards "I" for inevitable. Telos came out with what it...
What is a 60-something guy doing hip-deep in social media? I'm not a Gen-X'er, nor a Gen-Y'er...nor a Millenial...not EVEN. Keeping up with tech-trends and new gizmos is a young person's game. Thankfully, I THINK young, and have always been enamoured of "the next cool thing". Still -- it's tough...
