In the voiceover-related discussion forums I haunt, it’s fairly frequent for people to request critiques of their web sites. These sites run the gamut from very slick professionally-produced sites to stuff generated by a free webhost and some templates. I haven’t seen a single one that didn’t break one or more of the rules (they’re …

Added to the Blogroll
Greetings, programs! OK, Tron reference out of the way. Bob Souer recently updated his blogroll and has shamed me into remembering that not only did he link my blog from his, I have not updated my blogroll in some time, so I’m taking steps to rectify that! I’m going to make this a regular thing. …
The List of Must-Haves for your Studio
I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but there’s good reason for it! I’ve been working on a new web site, which I hope to “launch” officially very soon. I also cut a commercial demo reel last week, which should be through post-production shortly. And of course there was a meeting of the PSVAC, which went …
Criticism and You
I spoke today with the lovely and talented Amy Snively, as I am helping her set up a phone patch similar to the one I blogged about recently. During our conversation I mentioned that I was preparing to cut a demo reel with a copywriter and producer and she offered me a ton of great …

I could not! [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Here is my attempt, which I just sent to Peter. We’ll see how …
Back on Track
It’s been an interesting few days. With the recent power outage and 3 (!) earthquakes in my area, none of which caused any damage but were still disconcerting, I’ve been a bit… distracted? Yes, that’s a very diplomatic word. At any rate, I’ve got another voice blog which I’ll be recording in a bit …

Back to School
Well, in a manner of speaking. I’ve started taking a class called “Intro to Voice Over” in Seattle. It’s taught by Scott Burns, a local radio and voiceover talent. He and I met a while back and I ruminated over possible directions to take. In the end I decided to go with the class and once …
