Kudos to Mary C. McKitrick

Blogging, General, People

Mary C. McKitrick was the first person I did a feature interview with for this blog. I wanted to feature her first because, as I said at the time, I admire her approach to the business part of voiceover a great deal. (Of course, she also is very talented, as anyone who has listened to her demos knows.)

Now, Mary’s local newspaper has realized the treasure in their own back yard, and they too have done an interview with her. You’ll find a link to the article in this post at Mary’s voiceover blog.

Good for you, Mary.

A change to this blog

Blogging, General

Beginning today, I have removed the requirement that comments have to be moderated by me before they are posted. The old policy may have inhibited some valuable contributions.

This site is intended to serve as a resource to three categories of people specifically: those who are currently working as voiceover talent, those who are interested in voiceover work and those who are looking for voiceover talent. However, even if you’re not in one of those categories, you’re welcome here, too.

This change means that if you are one of my clients and you wish to comment, positively or negatively on my work, you are free to do so. I will edit or remove only those comments that might be illegal (potential libel).

As you read, you’ll discover that when you’re working in voiceover, you really do have to be ready for anything!

Free production music

Blogging, People, Tools

Some folks involved in voiceover just record scripts for people; but lots of us do some production from time to time for clients who need more than just dry voice tracks.

If you’re like me, you certainly want to take a moment to check out this post from David Houston on his blog. Very cool. Thank you Dave for pointing us to this valuable tool.

Voice Over Times

Blogging, General, People

I’ve just added a link to VoiceOverTimes.com in my voiceover blogroll on the left here. It’s a discussion forum that’s been around for a while. The archives are filled with valuable insights and comments. And my friend David Houston is one of the new moderators there. I’m sure it’s going to be a site worth visiting often.

By the way, David also blogs about voiceover here. He’s posted a note about his new moderator role here. And while you’re there, be sure to note the post right above, linking to a press release about his very fine voiceover work.

I first learned about VoiceOverTimes.com through the blog at Voices.com. Their most recent post about the forum, including a note about David and his fellow forum moderators, is here.

The Secret Ingredient

Blogging, Career Advice, General

My friend Anthony Garcia blogs at A Day in the Life of a Persuasion Architect, along with several other very bright folks. Anthony is one of the best writers I know. A truly brilliant man. A few days ago, Anthony wrote about The Secret Ingredient. Since his work involves helping people make web sites work (not with html programming, but with persuasive words and designs) his post is about web sites. Can you see the application to voiceover work?

What’s your NiceQ?

Blogging, Career Advice, General, People

Take the NiceQ test. I got 15 out of 20 correct. Leave a comment with your score if you decide to play. I’d love to know how you do.

This test is from the people who’ve written The Power of Nice. They also have a Nice Blog, with plenty of valuable ideas for using the power of nice (not just the book, but the skill) in your business. And, I must say, it was very nice of them to link here.

A few excellent ideas

Blogging, Career Advice, General, People

Brian Haymond has been blogging about voiceover here for a few weeks now and has just added a secong blog to his roster focused on podcasts, promos, commercials, imaging, TV, video and narration.

But, it’s his first blog to which I want to call your attention today, because Brian offers some very useful and practical suggestions of things to do in between your times of finding work and actually doing voiceovers. I’m going to implement some of his suggestions immediately (a few I’ve already been doing) and you should probably think about doing the same.

Sound and the web

Just a little housekeeping

Blogging, General

I’ve added a category to my blogroll on the left, “Voiceover blogs.” I wanted to separate out the voiceover blogs that I’ve found from my other blogging friends so if you’re mainly interested in voiceover stuff (and why you would spend much time at this blog if that isn’t true, I have no idea) you can find it more easily.

And by the way, if you’ve stumbled across anyone else involved in voiceover work and who is actively blogging (or even inactively blogging) please leave me a comment and let me know.
