Software for voice over artists.
Every day I'm reminded that we live in swashbuckling times. Not that we should have parrot on our shoulder, or a snarl on our breath...rather a swashbuckler -- in the truest sense -- is an adventurer. Every generation has it's opportunities for adventure. Think of the explorers, the railroad or...
Have I mentioned Evernote? I should've waaaaay before this. Maybe it's because I didn't write a memo to myself in Evernote to write this blog...until earlier this week. Evernote is my memory. It's software in the cloud. It's software on my computer. It's software on my iPhone. I write notes, I...
VIRTUAL STUDIO TECHNOLOGY. That's what it is. Steinberg developed it. Steinberg Gmbh is a German musical software and equipment company based in Hamburg (Wikipedia). BTW, Gmbh is pronounced Guh-Em'-buh-hah...I know...I had to research it once. It's an abbreviation like Ltd., or LLC...only for...
THE most oft-asked question I get from others who are thinking about diving into Social Networking is: "Is it all worth the investment of time?' (or the more colloquial version: "Do you ever sleep?") Coupla thoughts right off the bat: 1) That person is trying to talk themselves out of it before...
Why have I often harangued my readers to learn "Touch Typing"? It saves time. Gobs of it. Look, if you don't type much...no big deal. Hunt 'n' peck with your index fingers all you want. But let's face it...Americans are writing more than ever. E-mail, FaceBook, Twitter, Blogs, Comments,...

As artificial intelligence algorithms improve, my guess is we’ll hear synthetic voices that rise to the level of chess-playing software in their ability to innovate, learn, and approximate human nuances.
It’s likely that we’re not far from a computer-generated voice accomplished enough to satisfy a sector of buyers who aren’t as discerning as the audiobook group mentioned above.
Inevitably, one of your clients (OK, a few?) will require a “fix”, a “patch”…a “re-do”. Maybe it’s their fault: a re-write, a change in the copy, or a pronunciation they didn’t give you. Maybe (horrors!) it’s YOUR fault for inserting or deleting an important word. Whatever the reason...
Everybody loves to bash Microsoft. Not me. 'Been with 'em since DOS. I've always liked their scrappy, overbearing style...catching up to great ideas, stealing them, and making them their own. I've re-booted, reconfigured and re-installed every major product they've had out since 1992. But I...
