  7. If you want to work in audiobooks

    Posted April 21, 2011 by Bob

    If you’re seriously thinking about narrating audiobooks professionally, you need to study with Pat Fraley. I took his audiobook workshop in 2006 and have been working steadily in audiobooks ever since. (I made back every penny I spent on that workshop before the end of 2006.) His next workshop, which also features Scott Brick and Katherine Kellgren and co-instructors, is coming up next month in New York City.

Kudos to Tom Dallis and everyone involved in producing this wonderful series!

  18. Don’t be a complete hermit

    Posted April 12, 2011 by Bob

    Those of us working full-time in voiceover, especially those of us who’ve been at this game for more than a few years, have seen a tremendous amount of change in the last decade in the way our business is done. Many of us now almost never work in a studio other than our own. While it’s quite wonderful in some ways, there is at least one significant down side: it’s might easy to become a hermit. Or put another way, it can be lonely.

    My friend Jane Ingalls emailed me a link recently to an excellent blog post called Don’t Become a Virtual Hermit, that is well worth your time. I’d suggest another way to combat the loneliness is to attend Faffcon 3 when it takes place in September in East-Central Pennsylvania.
