Voice Over Hardware, Voice Over Software and other VO Tools
Like the weather, there is a never-ending supply of clouds in the online universe. These are things that I catch on my radar, 'cause they help me access the files, docs, pics, and demos I need from wherever I am, regardless the location of the computer where the native file resides. You're on the...
No, really! There's a ton of it out on the internet, and some of it is very good, stable, feature-rich, and virus-free (think Audacity). But OhEmGeee there are SO many scams out there associated with software downloads. Still, two top sites consistently shine in offering indexed, categorized, and...
Scant months ago, Adobe touted the release of it's newest iteration of Audition since 3.0 (which stood for years). I've barely cracked open my Cs5.5 packaging and now 6.0 is available. Adobe recently adapted the software to OSX devices. Mac users tired of the over-kill of ProTools migrated to AA...
BOOKS Jeff Kafer has carved out a successful niche for himself with determination, savvy, and entrepreneurship. Proof that he's a success in the field of narrating, producing, and casting audiobooks comes with the invitation from top AudioBook coach Pat Fraley to co-host a weekend workout...

Video is in. Big woop CourVO!...uh, I think we knew that. No, I mean, really...even if you don't want to be on camera...you should learn to work with images, take videos, edit montages, graphics, and even think about posting your demos with a video cover (talk to Peter O'Connell...he's tops on...
Stuff I find (or people send me) that just might make your VO business run a little more smoothly: We love Gmail, but even with all it's functionality, and dripping with G+ integration, still someone found a way to improve it. How 'bout scheduling your email to send later? Seems simple enough,...
Newspapers hate CraigsList because it DESTROYED their classifieds (and their revenue). Most everyone else loves CraigsList...but as a lead-generating source for voice over jobs? Meh. Like Guru, O-Desk, Elance, and a number of other online freelance job clearinghouses, CraigsList -- at first...
At the most recent CES confab in Vegas, I ran into one of my all-time favorite many-times-over-entrepreneur, John Pozadzides (his friends call him John-P). We crashed into each other at the Blue Microphone exhibit, cause, well...let's face it... they have the coolest stuff! Also, John is the...
