Voice Over Hardware, Voice Over Software and other VO Tools
Traditional online services that helped you create and send newsletters have morphed into such multi-use platforms, that I'm not sure what to call them anymore. Constant Contact -- one of the oldest and most successful of the services, now offers marketing, surveys, metrics, social media...
Verizon's recent announcement that it would soon be limiting ISDN installs, and even withdrawing ISDN infrastructure support in some states (http://www.radioworld.com/article/alert-for-isdn-users/218605) finally has some professional studios and broadcast operations seeking viable alternatives....
Michael Minetree reminds me of a very generous whack-a-mole. He seemingly disappears from sight for a while, but when he pops up, it's always good. Other than being a fine voice-actor, he's got this genius entrepreneurship innovation thing always going. He surfaces from time-t0-time with...
When you think about it...that's what WE do. Voice actors become an outsource, or outside resource for people looking to finish a certain product or project. They seek our services because they don't have the talent in-house to get it done. Smart! We become part of their team...through hard...

Alan hails the new FocusRite iTrack Solo with the following comment on my Voice-Over Friends FaceBook Group: "...it's never going to replace a properly equipped studio, nevertheless I'm impressed...
Can the other major TelCo's be far behind? For so long, established studios have pooh-pooh'd early predictions of ISDN's demise. But now, the writing is on the wall. I think it's time to call the undertaker and buy the burial plot. The argument has always gone that the studios -- you know --...
Mehmet Onur has often come to the States for VO conferences. He's a prolific Turkish voice actor, TV Producer, and all-around talent. My pathway to Mehmet is Andy Boyns, a British Voice Talent who lives and works in Istanbul (known to many of you). He's also an associate of Michael Minetree....
Google doesn't sit still for long. Even on their flagship products (search, email, calendar, G+, etc) they're constantly tweaking. Sometimes they just bail on stuff they've spent billions on (Buzz, Wave). Latest on the chopping block: Google Reader. Fans are not happy. There's even a petition...
