March was a challenge if you're afflicted with FOMO (fear or missing out). VO Atlanta, and FaffCamp two weekends in a row, and I was at home sitting on my hands...or rather sitting in front of my computer watching the parade of tweets, pics, and FaceBook shares fly across my screen non-stop. But...
... only it wasn't Band Camp. It was FaffCamp. I've attended 4 of 6 FaffCon Unconferences, but somehow the inaugural FaffCamp slipped through my fingers. I've always regretted it. Gone are the early falsehoods about The "Camp" version of FaffCon. The misleading rumors that it wasn't for "real...
As many of you may know, the brilliance that shines as the VO unconference "FaffCon", has a shelf-life. Founder and creative genius Amy Snively revealed this year that the total number of FaffCon events will be 10. This September's event is the 7th. And yet... and yet the announcement of a...
Until recently, iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) enjoyed a monopoly on mobile recording software and hardware solutions for voice-actors. I've written numerous times on the latest gizmos to come down the pike, and the apps that attend to them. However, with a rise in the strength of the Android...
Yesterday I posted the Storify Social Media stream for FaffCamp in Charlotte this weekend. But a good many stand-out voice-actors, coaches, producers, and agents will be hunkered down in Toronto this weekend, too. Voices.com is holding its Voice World Toronto Saturday, and the line-up is pretty...
Just because I can't be in Charlotte, NC this weekend for the first-ever FaffCamp, does NOT mean I'm out of the loop. (sniff) I'll be living vicariously through the attendees tweets and FaceBook posts. In fact, my bestie Derek Chappell and I will be riding herd on all the social media posts we can...
In just a little over a month, FaffCon's latest offshot: FaffCamp will take place in Charlotte, NC. (see details here). More like a typical conference (rather than FaffCon's "un-conference format), FaffCamp will nonetheless have a very faffy feel, and you'll see a lot of your friends there....
Legendary is the childhood schoolyard memory of anyone lining up on sides, and getting picked by a team captain. If you don't go as a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd seed...let's face -- it you're just an also-ran...or the wrong captain picks you, and you're on the "bad" team. The "cool" kids always got picked...
Voice actors like to gather. Working alone in a studio day after day gets tedious. We're mostly a gregarious bunch...which makes THE BIG DECISION actually a very pleasant big decision. What big decision, you ask? The decision of where to find your best return-on-investment for a voice over...
In the interest of absolute fairness, It behooves me to underscore the opportunities available at the OTHER major Voice Over Conference taking place during the first weekend of May (I've already blogged about Voice World Toronto, organized by the fine folks at Voices.com). What's cool is that the...
