Given the high participation in almost any online discussion about online casting sites, we expect this week's #WoVOChat to be a barn-burner! In just the last week, a thread on the FaceBook Group that Terry Daniel and I administer (Voice-Over Pros) has been going on and on. The arc of such...
In my mailbox last week: an invitation to MyPostProduction.com. The schpeel mentioned 3 current VO jobs, and offered a brief description of the service: _______________ Hello everybody, I would like to inform you about 3 new VO jobs atwww.mypostproduction.com : Skills Required: Voice-over...
'Not sure where you stand on the issue of P2P's or one of the biggest entities in that realm, but wherever you stand -- pro or con -- put it aside for a few minutes. The innovative business mind behind Voices.com starts with its founder, David Ciccarelli. He's the person who tracks the market...
See? This is the problem with modern journalism. It has no defenses. It's under attack from the NSA, the White House, Bloggers, its own excesses, and PR machines. There never was, and probably never will be a certification for journalism. We're all so much better than nurses, teachers,...

Bob Merkel is the founder and force behind VoiceZam. He and I have never met in person. That unfortunate circumstance will likely be remedied at FaffCon6 in San Antonio this October, but until then, there exists this comfortable fellowship that results in today's exclusive announcement here on...
Name one topic that generates more interest in VO circles than P2P's. (ISDN, SAG-AFTRA, and Den Lenard's moustache all run a distant second) I honestly couldn't tell you who started this internet-enabled business model, but certainly Voices.com (originally InteractiveVoices.com) and Voice123.com...
Traditional online services that helped you create and send newsletters have morphed into such multi-use platforms, that I'm not sure what to call them anymore. Constant Contact -- one of the oldest and most successful of the services, now offers marketing, surveys, metrics, social media...
You wanna talk the global nature of the voice over business? I found the ultimate example (and it's not Bodalgo). Meet DirectVoices.com...a site that has yet to reach full functionality. So, why would I say it's a global site? Because even in development, the team producing the site works from...
