Life can be messy. Work too. Perfect formulas for success are a phantom. There are a lot of people who think they have the answers. Self-help books. Coaches. Webinars. Seminars. How-To Books. Sometimes I think I have the answers too...and I've passed along some suggestions here 'n' there in...
Voice Over Hardware/VO Software & other VO Tools
Voice Over Hardware, Voice Over Software and other VO Tools
VO Leads Through Google Alerts
My daily routine includes sifting through a number of emails sent to me through Google Alerts. If you are not doing this yet, you should be. Here's the link to Google Alerts. In the spirit of "Google IS your resumé", you might want to start with a simple alert based on your name. This has...
You Are What You Write
Think about it. If you're old enough...how much did you write every day BEFORE social media came along? Not everyone has made the transition to the New Media world with grace. Yet...in a day's time, you (1) text (2) email (3) post on FaceBook (4) post on some other social network and (5) create...
The Blog That Keeps On Giving
Back in May of 2010, I sat down to my computer in the wee hours of the night and wondered what the heck I was gonna blog about that day. Just then, that gene decided to express itself. You know...the one that often makes me feel fulfilled when I make a LIST of something. What I came up with at...
Thrufer Twosday
My fear is that I'm always late to the party with the content of the post I have for you today, but then again it could be you HAVENT' yet heard...and even if you HAVE...it might be a good reminder. First AudioCatch..."where any media project that requires music, sound effects, or voice over work...
Air Turn
That's actually a hardware/software product....not a Nike ad slogan. The folks from Air Turn had a booth at VOICE2012, and the product generated a healthy buzz among conference attendees. Air Turn is a Bluetooth footpedal apparatus that works with your iPad or Android tablet to turn pages...
Giving Voice to Your Invoice
The invoice is admittedly one of the most important documents your voice-over business will generate. Not just because you want to be paid, but because it's an extension of your brand, your business savvy, and your bookkeeping practices...and ultimately customer relations. This blog is NOT about...
LinkedIn Lip Service
"Oh yeah!...I'm on LinkedIn...I just don't use it much." ('Wish I had a Neumann for ever time I heard that!) In about three weeks and three days I'll take the stage with Terry Daniel and Trish Basanyi at the Disneyland hotel during VOICE2012 to talk Social Media strategies. Terry will present...
Bi-Linguage
Having grown up in white-bread middle-America in the 50's, I never imagined a future for this country that accepted anything else but English. I won't mince my words: I think it weakens our country to be bi-lingual. That sounds odd coming from me. I'm the son of a Swiss Immigrant, whose native...
Coffee with CourVO
Fellow VO Social Media geeks Terry Daniel and Trish Basanyi several weeks ago resurrected their highly-successful VO podcast series, and renamed it "Voice Over Cafe". I was lucky enough to be 3rd on their list of guests, and recorded with them the other day. We talked a lot about World-Voices.org...
