A conversation about the union often rises to the level of rancor usually reserved for Mac v. PC discussions.For today's WoVOChat, we're not going to go there...but it makes you wonder. Why shouldn't SAG-AFTRA bring about universal support? A union should in all aspects be FOR the actor, speak...
Ya can't make up this stuff.Apparently, it's not enough what the big P2Ps are doing these days to destroy any hope of maintaining a respectable ratings structure for making a living at voice-acting. Now the also-rans are chiming in.Let's not even mention ODesk, Elance, Fiverr, Thumbtack, and all...
SAG-AFTRA: a quaint anachronism from a bygone era?...or a necessary cog in the future of digital media? An essential tool for actors of every color, stripe, and location?...or just LA and NYC-centric?I know there are other unions that voice-actors utilize: ACTRA, EQUITY, MEAA...but my comments...
LinkedIn is on a roll.I've always been a big apostle for this more serious/business-minded social network. Lately they've been giving me reason to continue to sing their praises.First of all, LinkedIn just LOOKS better. Trendy, not clunky. Sure, Dave...that's nice, but where's the beef? Well,...

For the first time in a long time the other day, I Googled "voiceover". Then I Googled "voice-over" and "voice over". The results were almost all the same. First there are the paid ads for voices.com, voicejungle, and Fiverr. Then there are two or three entries for Apple's VoiceOver service;...
When a voice-actor tells me they've got a mic they're totally happy with, and they've been using it for years...I'm skeptical.Most VO's I know are always are considering the next best mic.Sure, purchasing a mic is an individual decision... a decision based on:budgetresearch (hopefully)trial 'n'...
