...and that's really the issue. We're a universe of individual freelance voice actors who have no cohesion, no unity. We don't speak with one voice regarding the issue of rates.WHERE'S SAG-AFTRA WHEN YOU NEED THEM?Ideally, the union would do/does that for us. But two things mar that...
We expected nothing less than a spirited discussion for the WoVOChat Wed., 6-3-15. The topic was unions (mostly SAG-AFTRA). Some people (especially those with a few years under their belt) feel strongly about the union in both directions. Plenty of others came with some legitimate questions, an...
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...

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'...
Every time we hold a #WoVOChat it gets better. Better in terms of participation, and better in terms of content. Today was no different. Our topic was Essentials of Running A Successful Freelance VO Business. Guests experts were Melissa Moats and Tom Dheere. But really, a slew of other VO...
This is such an important topic, I could write a book about it. Wait-a-minute...I did! More Than Just a Voice: The REAL Secret to Voiceover Success was a direct response to all the calls I'd rec'd from people who have an incredible voice, and want to make hundreds of thousands doing voiceovers...
What is the mark of success for ANY organization? Many would tell you that hard numbers or accumulation of many members is important; but that doesn't tell the whole story. It's not ALL about numbers. At some point the Pareto Principle kicks in. That's the theory of the "vital few" that says...
...or do you need many? How do you get one? What should they be doing for you? What can you do for them? What is a standard commission? Those questions and more will be posed and hopefully answered by our two expert guests, and all the voice-actors attending today's hour-long TweetChat,...
