The latest podcast is up

Blogging, General

As I’ve noted before, one of the fun things I get to do every quarter is work on the “bridges” podcasts for the Office of Science and Technology at the Embassy of Austria in Washington, DC.

The last few days have been filled with recording the latest round of articles. You’ll find all of the podcasts for “bridges” Vol. 11, as well as previous releases, here. Just keep scrolling for the older material.

Let me know what you think. And my thanks to the wonderful folks at the OST for the opportunity to work with them.

An audition adventure (update)

Blogging, General, People

My friend Mary C. McKitrick shares this riviting tale on her blog about traveling into New York City for an audition. Since I don’t have a Blogger account, I can’t leave a comment on her blog, but I’m glad she’s OK. And I hope she gets cast from the audition. That would be very cool.

Update: It turns out that Mary’s account allows comments from people without Blogger accounts, so I’ve left a comment there after all.
(edited to add a link to Mary’s blog, and the update)

Joe Cipriano blogs here. From time to time he also posts video on his site, as I’ve mentioned before. And, his post of August 31st gives you a chance to watch from the voiceover booth of an awards show, specifically the 2006 Primetime Emmy Awards.

Watch and enjoy.

And thanks to by buddy Charlie Glaize for tipping me to Joe’s post.

Writing well

Blogging, Career Advice, General, People

I believe one’s voiceover work can improve signicantly by writing. I suppose this blog is an attempt, at least at one level, to test that theory since I do spend a fair amont of time writing here.

But the real purpose of this post is to point you to an article by Peter Drew that’s he’s posted here. Good thoughts, which are well worth a few minutes of your time.

I mentioned it in the interview…

Blogging, General, People

But only at the end, so let me highlight that Dan Nachtrab has a blog. While it’s not updated every day, he was kind enough to post about his inteview here, as well as link to a couple of others among my favorite voiceover people.

Thanks, for the post, Dan. I wish you much continued success.

Do what you want to do

Blogging, Career Advice, General, People

How do you measure success? How do you know when you’ve “made it,” what ever “it” is? These are questions you have to face if you’re going to make a go at the voiceover business.

Drew Haldwall is a talented guy, not only in his voiceover work, but in other creative ways. He’s very gifted in wood craftsmanship. He tells me it’s the combination of work that he finds satisfying.

That’s what works for Drew. What about you? Leave me a comment, if you like. I’d love to hear your answer to that question.

Habit forming? Oh yes!

Blogging, General, People

Mary C. McKitrick has learned just how habit forming it is to study with the one and only Pat Fraley. Read about Mary’s latest encounter with Pat on her blog, here. I just wish I lived in New England so I could have fed my Pat habit, too.

First, listen

Blogging, Career Advice, General

Donna Papacosta of Trafalgar Communications blogs at Trafcom News and recently pointed out an article that has some sage advice for all of us involved in communications, including voiceover work.

The article is called “Wanna be respected by executives? Talk less and listen more.” I think you’ll find it well worth a few minues of your time.

How do people get in touch with you

Blogging, General

Have you spent any time thinking about how someone looking for voiceover talent, someone who finds your voiceover web site, gets in touch with you?

Bryan Eisenberg, a very insightful man in the world of online marketing, wrote an article last month at ClickZ that you should read. While the article deals mainly with larger companies, I think the advice is applicable to all of us who have websites.

I know after reading the article, I’m going to make a couple of changes to my site later today.

Oh, and a hat trip to my friend Anthony for leading me to this article.

Taking the leap

Blogging, Career Advice, General, People

Brian Haymond, a very talented fellow voiceover guy, has just started a blog and his first post is well worth your time. Yes, you read that right. A first blog post that’s worth reading. I know. Doesn’t seem possible, but, it’s true. (Mine certainly isn’t. Sheesh.)

But, the main reason it’s worth your time is because in this post, Brian details how he made the leap from working for someone else full-time to doing voiceovers full-time.

There’s no other word for it

Blogging, General, People

Brilliant. That’s the word. I’m talking about Dave Christi, who not only has a voiceover site with a very cool intro, and a blog, he also has an audio blog where he posts some of his work for all to hear.

Here are just two examples of his work:

1. Tan-In-Paradise.
2. Fast Eddie’s Sports Bar.

What I especially love about these spots is that they incorporate music so naturally and powerfully. What a great way to make your clients stand out from the crowd, Dave. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
