The Great Divide
In the starry voiceover galaxy, there's Los Angeles, and then there's everything else. Don't ask for hard data. I have none. But seriously, can anyone miss this truism? Not even mighty New York City comes close... it's a distant distant second at best. And understandably so. LA is the home of...
…and while I’m at it…
Clearly, my blog post from this week about a certain Canadian-based online VO casting service touched a nerve. I'm glad people are waking up to the many ways voice-actors can be taken advantage of...not the least of which is a rash of cheap come-ons from outright fraudsters phishing for...

P2P Only for Union VO’s?
You know I live in Social Media. Because I'm unable to market my VO services in my own community of 2-million people, I reach out. Social Media IS my marketing plan. I see things. I see a lot. One of the things I saw the other day was a post by the prolific and well-respected voice actor Pat...
