Voice Over Hardware, Voice Over Software and other VO Tools
When I was in college, I bought a full set of Encyclopedia Britannicas. 40 volumes. As a student, it nearly broke me, but I was convinced I had the most complete compendium of human knowledge in existence. (BTW, I still have them, but I'm a packrat, and that’s another story)....
Maybe this notice landed in your mailbox yesterday. It did mine, and it was from Bob Taylor Productions. Bob has devised an answer to a question that’s always bothered him. He states on his new site: VO DEMO SAFE: “… Over the many years I've been a VO talent, there have been enough times when...
Most of you know I'm a big LinkedIn fan. Of all the social networks, LinkedIn offers the most rich feature set for searching and researching your business prospects. Oh, and they've got hundreds of millions of members, too. ;-} One of the nice things about LinkedIn (until now) was the...
Everybody's doing it. EVERY internet presence is being leveraged into any and all social networking opportunities. SoundCloud too. Everybody's favorite online audio storage and sharing site adds a new slick user interface, improved search, and the ability to repost. You an also curate a...
VoiceBank, and it's twin sister: VoiceRegistry are a 1-2 punch-of-a-resource for voice actors. No other site offers what they do, and it'd be easy to forget they're there. Of late, they've upped their profile as the sponsor of many a voiceover event, notably their support of FaffCon. Agents,...
Personally, I figure I'm already in a file cabinet, or a list, or a hard drive somewhere in the J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington, D.C. Aren't you? 1) When I saw that the recent resignation by CIA director David Petraeus was being handled by the FBI, my suspicions were confirmed as to who...
In the exploding tablet wars, one new entry stands out...and it's from a familiar name: Microsoft. The global computing giant made it's fortune on software...not hardware. The most serious hardware offering it had heretofore was a series of keyboards, mice, and webcams. But with the almost...
When the 5th annual NYC VO mixer happens this weekend, I know I'm gonna wish I had spent the money to go...but honestly, it's the time, not the money that I can't afford. I told my VO friend Terry Daniel to take lots of pictures, and speak kindly of me if and when my name arises. I'll be there...
Yes. But it's kinda like shopping CostCo or Sam's Club. You haven't really saved money if you bought something on impulse that you really didn't need...even if it WAS at a great price. Cyber Monday started in 2005 with the support of shopping trade group (shop.org) that noticed a spike in online...
Like most of you, I use the same password too often on too many sites. I DO take care to use complicated passwords (combination of upper/lower case, numbers, symbols, and long strings) for my crucially important sites such as financial information. Luckily I have an almost RainMan-like ability to...
