It’s been an amazing 2 days so far. We began on Tuesday evening with an opportunity to meet and greet one another. While I’m naturally a rather shy and introverted person, I actually really enjoyed these 3 hours. It was truly a joy to meeting, in person, so many of the friends I’ve made through the Internet, in particular through the VO-BB.com. And to make a number of new friends as well.
If you haven’t been involved in voiceover work for very long, you may not have realized this yet, but unlike most other kinds of performance work; voiceover is filled with tremendously nice, helpful people. So, it’s a sheer joy to meet and talk with so many nice human beings in one place. There are about 200 voiceover talents, ranging from “not even hardly started” to “working professionals,” gathered here in Las Vegas. And it has been one amazing time, with so much to learn it feels like I’m trying to drink from a fire hose. I think a lot of us feel this way. But, it’s still a wonderful feeling.
I’ll add further updates to this and one or two more posts about this conference in the next couple of days. But, please believe me, you are not going to want to miss this event next year. Discussions are under way about where to hold it, so there’s a good chance it won’t be in Las Vegas next time. But, where ever it is, you need to be there. I know I will.
Hi Bob!
The VOICE Conference has been fantastic so far! I’m happy to see you blogging during the conference. I wrote one last night too on VOX Daily and find that I will have more blogging to do after the conference is over.
What a night! Wasn’t it something else to meet Don LaFontaine? Thanks for being my buddy in the lineup.
I’m looking forward to reading your perspectives once we get home.
See you in a couple hours,
Stephanie
Thanks for the update Bob. It’s good for those of us who are forced to live vicariously through you. 🙂 I look forward to next year. I will be going for sure.
Stephanie,
It has been such a joy to meet you and your team here in Las Vegas. Thank you for your help in making this event happen. Bravo for doing such a smashing job without your visuals yesterday. Keep up the great work.
Yes, it was a real delight to meet Don yesterday, but the best part was seeing how down-to-earth he is.
Be well,
Bob
Rich,
There’s so much more to come. Be sure to catch Stephanie’s posts on her blog. I’m sure Kara Edwards will write about this as well. And perhaps several others. Plus, there will be a ton of material on the VO-BB in the coming days, no doubt.
Be well,
Bob
