Software for voice over artists.
...in the spirit of a recent rash of posts about a voice-actor's use of video, I humbly re-submit this blog which I wrote more than a year ago, and which is still every bit relevant. Screen capture programs are becoming more and more handy. I'm referring to programs that can capture everything...
Some voice talents ask for signed written contracts, and/or require payment up front before they start on a project with a new client. I can certainly see the wisdom of that, especially if you've been burned on a job along the line somewhere. Their argument is that most reputable business people...
One of the big catch-phrases at this year's CES in Las Vegas was "wearable computing"; the integration of the machine and the human...if not on our clothing, then somehow inserted in our bodies. Any cyborg comparisons notwithstanding (3-of-7?)...this idea actually has acceptance and a market....
The bad guys must be having an impact on web services everywhere. We hear about it, and we see the phishing scams show up in our email, but is internet security really that big of a deal? YES! (and heck yes!) The reason I say the bad guys must be having an impact is that in the last few days,...
Ah...the drudgery! You've just been handed a big long-format narration -- an E-learning module -- and the client specifically asks that each paragraph be its own named sound file. ...and there are 67 paragraphs!!! This will take some serious editing time, no? Hervé Chain developed a wonderful...

Until recently, iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) enjoyed a monopoly on mobile recording software and hardware solutions for voice-actors. I've written numerous times on the latest gizmos to come down the pike, and the apps that attend to them. However, with a rise in the strength of the Android...
Without getting to the politics of corporations, loyalties, patents, stock prices, or international intrigue, can I just say that Google is the new Apple?...the new Apple in the sense that they've earned the mantle of the hippest, coolest, most innovative and technologically edgy/highest quality...
Why do you suppose spammers and hucksters and phishers and endless social media promoters desire your email address so badly? Every time you download something (even for free) the one price of admission they always seek is your email address. Am I right? Next to your phone number and your social...
The reason I watch EWABS is because George Whittam and Dan Lenard are smarter than I am. I learn something every time. Among the many deficiencies in my voice-over self-wiki is the understanding of audio engineering. I know some basics. I try to buy good equipment. I know I don't have to...
