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...
'Glad you asked! You could say things have been a little too quiet lately at WoVO HQ (wherever that is), and you'd be right. Our last newsletter was in April. Too long ago! (BTW, WoVO stands for World-Voices Organization, the new industry trade association for voice actors)) We haven't been...
WoVO: an affectionate acronym for World-Voices Organization. WoVO is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) with the altruistic motive of being the Industry Trade Association for voice-actors everywhere. http://worldvo.org = info and sign-up. http://worldvo.com = online WoVO community. Do you know what an...
This may not matter to you, and I'm not sure it even matters to me, but the question keeps popping up, and probably deserves an answer for our maturing profession. What constitutes a "professional" voice actor? Maybe we fall into another a category with another well-known profession that has...
In just a little over a month, FaffCon's latest offshot: FaffCamp will take place in Charlotte, NC. (see details here). More like a typical conference (rather than FaffCon's "un-conference format), FaffCamp will nonetheless have a very faffy feel, and you'll see a lot of your friends there....

Have you ever become part of something that matters, and you wanna do it right, and many many others will be impacted by your collective decisions? That's where the World-Voices Organization lives. Dustin Ebaugh, Dan Lenard, Randye Kay, Chris Mezzolesta, Andy Curtis, Ann Richardson, myself, and...
My weekend was quiet...which meant I spent a lot of time on the internet. Big surprise, huh? But what I found out was a heckuva lot...only retrenching my belief that "if I rest, I rust" (German proverb: rast ich, so rost ich). FIRST I was surprised to see that one of the top community-relations...
'Glad you asked! There are some things I can tell you, and some things that discretion bids me not to tell. None of it is horrid, and most of the reasons for the recent hold-up are substantially human. After a flourish of activity from April through July, our feisty crew of Executive Board...
As voice over talent, we can't really tell producers what to do, but we can sure as heck build some expectations as a community that will get respect for their ideology of common sense. In that vein, the World-Voices Organization team authored the document which you'll find...
