The VOHeroes Podcast ·

2022/09/27

Hey there, hero!One of my fave peeps in the entire VO world is Anne Ganguzza.She was a coach when we were VO2GoGo, and she's gone on to become a force to be reckoned with with sites like VOPeeps and the VOBoss Podcast.And one of her superpowers is combining tech with VO.

The VOHeroes Podcast ·

2022/09/20

Hey there, hero!In another episode of this podcast, I talked about the difference between "easy" and "straightforward."That got people thinking about how they start new processes and how they look at how long getting good at something can take.Let's flip that on the head, and help you ease the burden of something that appears to be extraordinarily daunting - let's look at "difficult" versus "impossible."Ever decide something just wasn't worth

Hey there, hero!My buddy Bob just called me, and on occasion, he says something brilliant.This was one of those times.He said "When you're looking at how successful you might be at something, don't forget: you yourself are one of the variables."Brilliant. And worth remembering when you start looking at how long it will take you to make the money back that you spend on training. Want to know how long? Wouldn't that be great to know...but who can say given all the variables in

Hey there, hero!Here's something to mull over as you decide to embark on a new experience: there's a big difference between something being easy......and something being Straightforward......and something being time-consuming.The differences can make or break you in terms of success.Ever encounter something that you chalked up to being easy, but was anything but, because it was so tedious?

0082: Let's Settle On "Synthetic Voices," Not "AI"

The VOHeroes Podcast ·

2022/08/30

Hey there, hero!I get it. "AI" has two short syllables, and "synthetic voices" has five longer ones, so it's a bit more time-consuming to say.But it might be useful to try to commit to using the latter, rather than the former, despite its slightly longer length, when we start feeling concerned about our future as human voice talent.Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in almost every facet of our creative process, from script management to casting to recording to production

2022/08/23

Hey there, hero!We're all on a journey. Our own journey. With different speeds, timelines, and horizons.And we can easily forget about considering time when plugging along on the highway to getting it all done.I'd like to remind you to be gentle with yourself when you start examining your results...especially with when you actually judge yourself, because things like this take time. And you might be jumping the gun just a bit.And so, I will.Once you hear what I have to say...is that

The VOHeroes Podcast ·

2022/08/16

Hey there, hero!Estimating how long things take, from small, short things like auditions, to longer, multi-step projects like recording and editing an audiobook, is an art as well as a science.And one of the ways we protect ourselves is to give each project more than enough time.I'd like to suggest that you consider being more stingy with your schedule. See if things can take less time, with the same quality.Why? Because of my boss, back when I worked at America Online.Questions about the whole

2022/08/02

Hey there, hero!Some decisions are easier than others. If you have several options, that may or may not be an easier decision that when you have just two options.And no matter how many options you have, even if it's just two, it may not be clear as to which of those options is the best...or if there even is a clear, best option.I've got one of those "one weird tricks" that might be helpful, one that you can use when flipping a coin to make the decision.You flip the coin...but

Hey there, hero!We "feed" ourselves in many different ways...certainly our bodies with food, our souls with social connection and many times, our brains with knowledge.In fact, depending upon how you learn things, discovery of new concepts and ways of working might really satisfy you in ways that other options don't.We can be logical, step by step, or organic and open to random options, but however we learn, it can be really satisfying...and nutritious.And depending on what you have

Hey there, hero!In everyone's pursuit of excellence, the training we receive is initially handled as a series of discrete steps. Do this, then that, before you do this or only after than and so on.The dependencies of one step upon another need to be identified and practiced.But one day......you realize that those steps have blended into a smooth and clean process where your execution isn't based on some checklist of actions, but rather based on your experience and preparation.And that day

Hey there, hero!A few years ago, Facebook did something that changed how you got notified via email when someone posted something, replied to something, added a comment and more.And what they did didn't help you and me out one bit.They went from a full quoting of the content of what they were notifying you about, to just a few opening words.It was done to increase engagement on the FB platform.

But people who aren't from around there? Not so much.But you can only be familiar with a few areas and their peculiar place names - even if you are a military brat and moved around a lot.So how do you handle unfamiliar location names when narrating an audiobook, or reviewing an audition script that has them?I gotcha
