Looks like the voiceover community has finally discovered what most every other conceivable business has known for years: Las Vegas is the premiere conference destination in the world. Well OK, it's not quite that serious. But it IS growing. January saw Marice Tobias holding her 3rd all-guy...
Social Media may be the biggest digital trend EVAR to fail. Do you really believe that? I don't. I see it only going up and up and up. That's why I can't shake my obsession with it. The reason we can never seem to get a handle on it... the reason we can never seem to settle into a groove with...
When an event goes right, you may hear about it more than once. Such is the case with Joe Cipriano's visit to Vegas earlier this month. Bear with me. You'll remember, it was a dual-purpose weekend. Not only was VO Coach and Producer Marice Tobias in town for an all-men's weekend workshop, but...
Some voice talents ask for signed written contracts, and/or require payment up front before they start on a project with a new client. I can certainly see the wisdom of that, especially if you've been burned on a job along the line somewhere. Their argument is that most reputable business people...

More than 10 years ago, I got into this business because of audiobooks. I just KNEW I could do it. I was right, but I was also naíve. Along the way, I got distracted by many of the other ways you can earn a living using your voice... but I never lost the hope that one day an audiobook title...
Often, on this blog, I've made the point that no level of participation short of immersion is worthy of my time in voice-over. This weekend, I lived that maxim. Tiffany-echelon VO coach and producer Marice Tobias held her third Las Vegas all-male VO workshop Saturday and Sunday. About 15 awesome...
Here's a website you should just link to, or stick in your RSS feed, or subscribe to, or bookmark, or whatever it is you do to visit worthwhile sites now 'n' then. RecordingReview.com is actually the brainchild and blog of Brandon Drury, who hails from my wife's neck of the woods: The Bootheel of...
