In Las Vegas, the SuperBowl is the Holy Grail of betting...surpassed by March Madness only because the latter is 3 weeks long, and covers many games, not just one.You'd think it was New Year's Eve the way tourists go crazy on the strip during SuperBowl weekend. For Las Vegas locals, it's a great...
Because I'm a geek at heart, I've probably written more blogs about gear than anything else. Or a close second.Especially blogs about mobile recording, and even more specifically, about mics that you can plug into a smartphone. Most recently I wrote "The All-in-One Smartphone A/V Studio". The...
Still don't get Twitter? Lotsa people don't. You're not alone.Sometimes days go by and I don't post or even read posts...and that's probably bad policy. Twitter should not be ignored, so don't be frustrated by this social network. Next to Facebook, it is the most influential social network to...
Hey! Who knew? Somebody besides voice actors reads my blog once in a while.How do I know? Because Mauricio Prinzlau wrote me, and told me "...it's rare to find somebody who puts that much into research and make content really actionable..."Of course, after being buttered-up like that, I'd be...

Remember I told you in yesterday's blog that a blue-ribbon panel of experts would join us in a conversation about international and foreign VO rates?Well, here it is...and the panel shared a darn sight more wisdom that I ever bargained for -- far beyond the topic and back.World-Voices Organization...
No, I'm not bilingual, or trilingual. Maybe if I was, I'd have twice or triple the work. Actually, I don't see my bilingual friends working twice as much, but there certainly is twice the potential.Besides, you don't have to be bilingual to get decent VO work in other parts of the world. ...
2oo episodes of VOBuzz Weekly.Never mind the technical preparation that goes into each show. Forget the work done to even conceptualize, create attitude, and book the talent. It's no big deal coming up with the topics and the PR surrounding all those shows.No, the real achievement for Chuck...
Ask me what got me into being a voice-actor, and I'd tell you "AudioBooks". It seemed like a perfect fit for me. I was interested in it, and pursued it whole-heartedly for about 5 years. I ended up narrating some 40 titles, attended APAC twice, was a beta tester for ACX, blogged interviews with...
