Is there no end to these sites?...sites that will list you and your demo, and try to match you with people looking for voices?  The proliferation is not a bad thing, I guess.  Can the exposure hurt?   Well...yeah, if the site is bad. What to call 'em?...P2P?  Voice Clearinghouse?  Subscription...

Another Royalty-Free Music Site

Back in May of this year, I blogged a list of 50+ top Royalty-Free Music sites. The blog has legs.  I've had to continually add new sites as competing services find my list and realize they aren't on it. The latest is Direct Composer.

Emerging from the fog of what was a seminal week last week, I. just. want. to. get. back. in. the. groove. For me, that means auditioning, blogging, Social Media'ing, and -- of course -- tending to my bread 'n' butter job at the TV station.  In trolling around for information to go into today's...

Dog and Pony

There are a  number of good production studios here in Las Vegas. Some are elegant...others carry more of a "workshop" air.  Some do more video...others more audio.  But the coolest one in town is Dog & Pony Studio. John McClain is THE guy.  Along with his team, they do some top shelf...
