Added back to the blogroll
Some time ago Tim McLaughlin told me he was stopping his voiceover blog and asked me to remove the link, so of course, I did. But today he emailed to say he was starting his voiceover blog back up so naturally I’m delighted to re-add his blog to my blogroll. Welcome back, Tim.

Love it or hate it
Pro Tools is a very popular recording application. I’m not posting this today to try to stir any wars about which audio software is best, because what works for you is what you should use. But, if you have a copy of Pro Tools but you’re not sure it’s a good fit for your voiceover work, my friend Steve Cunningham has some thoughts for you about the various myths about Pro Tools you may hear from time to time. Well worth a few minutes of your time.
