Some thought-provoking advice from my friend J.S. Gilbert on his blog today. It’s called Staying On Course — Do What Airplanes Do. Well worth a few minutes of your time.

My friend Maxine Dunn publishes an excellent weekly electronic newsletter that’s always filled with good information. The one she released yesterday has some simple and yet excellent thoughts about making a good impression with your clients.

Several days ago I posted a link to an excellent article by my friend Maxine Dunn about dealing with roadblocks that keep you stuck. That article was part one of a two part series and I’m delighted today to post the link to the second and final part.

If you don’t know Dan Friedman you should. He’s an all-around audio genius and a truly nice guy to boot. He has a blog he calls Sound Advice VO, which I’ve just added to my blogroll under Dan’s name.

While you’re on Dan’s site, take a long look at Dan’s book “Sound Advice — The Book“, which is worth it’s weight in gold, at least it is if you’re serious about doing voiceovers that sound like they’re coming from a professional’s studio.

And while I’m talking about Dan, he was one of the sponsors and attendees at Faffcon 2 in Atlanta this past weekend. He’s written some very cogent thoughts about the experience that are well worth a few minutes of your time.

My friend Maxine Dunn writes a weekly newsletter to which I subscribe and last week’s edition featured the first of a two part series on Roadblocks that are keeping you stuck. Excellent stuff and when Maxine makes the second part available publicly, I’ll link to that as well.
