As I write this, the only business yet to handle from WoVOCon III is April's board meeting.People began arriving Wednesday, and some won't leave until the end of the week (the Nat'l Assoc of Broadcasters -NAB - convention is in town).At nearly 150 attendees plus spouses and friends visiting for...
...and I really hate picking out any ONE or TWO things, 'cause it's ALLLL gonna be just off-the-charts wonderful.From Marc Scott's session on CRM's, and Graeme Spicer's stance as a social media contrarian...to Joe Loesch's Master Class... and the mic shootout or Pamela Muldoon's session on...
"More habit-forming than crack or methamphetamine.""Instantaneously addictive.""Couldn't put it down."I'm talking about the coming tsunami of a cultural phenomenon known as Virtual Reality (VR).My first exposure to the device that started the revolution -- Oculus Rift -- came in a Wired Magazine...
The lady who sits down across the lunch table from me was blond, bubbly, and about my age. We're both at the catered lunch provided by VO Atlanta on a Saturday. "I'm Barbara," she says. "I've been working as a nurse most of my life, but I think there's a future for me doing voiceovers."I...

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...
