Once in while an idea forms and inspiration develops into action giving birth to something innovative and new that carves a path for itself in unchartered territory. For the voice over industry last year, that spark of genius was Voice Over Experts, a podcast created for aspiring and professional voice actors that provides ongoing education and access to some of the most interesting, generous and most esteemed voice over instructors of our time, all of whom have donated their expertise in efforts to positively impact and help propel the industry in the days and years ahead.

Presented by Voices.com, the voice over marketplace, the podcast was first published on June 13th, 2007 and has been a consistent, weekly resource sharing free voice over and voice acting education with the voice over community.

The podcast, which is available for free subscription in the iTunes Podcast Directory, has been downloaded as of May 30th, 2008, over 33,502 times according to FeedBurner, a Google Inc. company.

Listeners of the podcast were invited to share their feedback recently, including Brian Haymond, professional voice over talent. Haymond relates "Without question, VoiceOver Experts is high on my list when it comes to referring aspiring voice actors to valuable resources. Personally, I value the insights presented. These podcasts are another great reason why I continue to point others to Voices.com. They lead the way when it comes to offering a service whereby the entire voiceover/advertising business benefits."

Voice actress Bobbin Beam chimed in, "I enjoy Voice Over Experts very much. I'll sometimes listen to a group of them at a time, at times convenient for me. I find Voice Over Experts informative and feel having the podcasts available "on demand" is an excellent service to the voice over community."

Chet Kelley, voice actor, added, "I think they are great and so well done... not to mention super quality audio!"
