The last time I heard about VoiceJockeys (an online site matching voice seekers with voice talent) was in early 2010. Back then, site made a splash in the world of voice-acting, and it wasn't necessarily a good one. If you'd like to refresh, here is a list of the blogs I wrote on the...
Three things I try to avoid online: 1) politics 2) Mac vs. PC 3) religion. But today, I'm putting that aside this once to give a big attaboy to my friend Dan Hurst for taking the initiative to launch a new talent service website with the not-too-veiled reference to the needs of the church:...
Remember VOAT? Well, somebody else did too...in a way I had not expected. My September promotion (Voice Over Awareness Today) offers a new VO question each week, seeks answers from the VO community, and some respondents win prizes on a random basis. Hundreds participated, and I do believe a lot...
A LinkedIn posting tipped me off to the following announcement from Mill-James Creative Media: Mills James is proud to announce the creation of a database which will allow our producers to search and audition voice over talent at their desktop. We would like to invite you to register through the...
VoiceBank, and it's twin sister: VoiceRegistry are a 1-2 punch-of-a-resource for voice actors. No other site offers what they do, and it'd be easy to forget they're there. Of late, they've upped their profile as the sponsor of many a voiceover event, notably their support of FaffCon. Agents,...
When the 5th annual NYC VO mixer happens this weekend, I know I'm gonna wish I had spent the money to go...but honestly, it's the time, not the money that I can't afford. I told my VO friend Terry Daniel to take lots of pictures, and speak kindly of me if and when my name arises. I'll be there...
...and that's really the best way to think about it...as a frontier. Full of opportunity, but harsh and unforgiving territory that can punish and leave you empty. I'm enthusiastic about the start-ups that blaze new paths in the frontier. Early on, I was a big supporter of CinchCast when it came...
Say what you want about so-called Pay-to-Play (P2P) services like Voice123.com and Voices.com, but they (and others like them) are usually at the heart of trends in this business...things like pay-scales, the job marketplace, internet prospects, and more. In that sense what they do, and the...
...or is it? You get to decide...and at some point, you really HAVE to, or you're wasting your time. Remember the question I posed a couple of weeks ago: Can VO Be TOO Social? The question has also since cropped up on (of course) a FaceBook Group, with a wide sample of responses. Are you still...
My fear is that I'm always late to the party with the content of the post I have for you today, but then again it could be you HAVENT' yet heard...and even if you HAVE...it might be a good reminder. First AudioCatch..."where any media project that requires music, sound effects, or voice over work...
