The hottest online video site in the Milky Way...the second biggest search engine on the planet...the world's de facto TV station is getting better. I've said it before, and I'll say it till I'm red in the face: Voice Actors cannot ignore the value of video in their marketing. The fact that...
The videojournalists on staff at KLAS-TV have about 7 GoPro cameras they share between then. Everybody wants to take one with them when they shoot. Not heard of GoPro? OK, what rock have you been hiding under? (kidding) GoPro is about the most viral recording device to hit the market in the last...
Yes, I said Video...and don't give me that lame: "Well, I'm a voice-actor, and I don't USE video" argument. I try to hammer away at this theme at least once a month. Video is the new air, food, and water. It's the hottest content going anywhere online, and you can't afford NOT to be using it....
