'Not sure where you stand on the issue of P2P's or one of the biggest entities in that realm, but wherever you stand -- pro or con -- put it aside for a few minutes. The innovative business mind behind Voices.com starts with its founder, David Ciccarelli. He's the person who tracks the market...
Monopolies are not good. That's why the round-house competition between Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, Lenovo, and others keeps everyone in check. Google is so darned innovative lately, though, that it scares me. I want to use all its mighty and mostly free online suite of rich...
Buried Treasure. There's buried treasure in the current info of MixOnline. Ever heard of it? I'm never sure when I write about sites like this whether it's old hat or not, but this one is new to me. Like Electronic Musician and a host of other online publishers, most of these mags appeal to a...
Once a month, I meet online with 9 other voice-actors. They're awesome. I'm just pedaling fast to keep up. We are the "board of directors" for each other's voice-acting business (roughly). We call it our "MasterMind" group. MasterMind is a fairly common concept for meet-ups. It's an idea that...

Posy Brewer is a delightful, hard-working, and talented voice actor in the UK whom I keep running into online and at VO conferences. Brewer, like me, has ISDN and Source-Connect, but is keeping her eye out for "the next big thing" in the area of hi-fidelity remote recording. Rachael Naylor's blog...
Far be it from me to try to influence your shopping in this no-holds-barred shortened Christmas shopping season, but my email box overflows with a few offers maybe you didn't hear about? So while I anchor 4 newscasts today for vacationing colleagues, take a gander at the following links for...
Some might say I'm obsessed with this topic... the one about what happens when ISDN disappears. It will go away...although the reports of its demise are quite likely grossly accelerated. Let's not get into that. Let's just say the first cracks are showing in the monolithic façade of ISDN's...
Notice I did NOT say "gifts that will be easy on the budget"...that's why we call them WISH lists. First up: The new Zoom H6. OMG, this thing has hi-tech written all over it! In my mind, the Zoom family of portable hi-fidelity recorders has always led the pack and pushed the envelope for a...
