Software for voice over artists.
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...
Broadband. ISDN's legacy technology will go away...eventually. Lord knows how much longer the big TelCos will continue to support it. Smart producers, voice actors, audio engineers, and others associated with the business of voice overs are searching RIGHT NOW for the next best thing. It's pretty...
Many of you know that I'm a huge apostle of digital solutions to anything and everything. I strive for paperless in all I do. What you may not know, is that long ago...and still today, I'm was/am a HUGE pen 'n' paper freak. Maybe it's from the legacy my grandfather left me. He was a Swiss poster...
Windows 8 is in release. Will the new offering from Redmond: a) convince current Windows users to upgrade? b) convince current MAC users to switch? c) be a better OS for my VO business? Windows 7 was perhaps Microsoft's most robust and stable OS ever. Those who never upgraded from XP or Vista...
Ya think after you've been around a while, you kinda know what's out there...the equipment, the coaches, the agents, the producers, the software, the hardware. Sometimes a mic or pre-amp comes across my radar that I missed before. but for the most part when people talk about dis 'n' dat pertaining...
Most voice actors are pretty loyal to their audio editing software. It's nearly impossible to pry the fingers of Pro-Tools advocates from their keyboards. Others like the various iterations of Adobe's Audition software (Cs6.0 is the latest version). There's also Steinberg's CuBase, Ableton,...
Yesterday, Stephanie Cicarelli of VOICES.com asked a question on her FaceBook group "THE VOICE ACTING HUB" about reading copy in the studio. "Do you read voice-over scripts on screens or do you prefer printing them?" she asked. Honestly I was floored to find that many still print, read, and mark...
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...
