Do you love talking about audio recording equipment and recording software?
Does writing reviews of the equipment you use interest you?
We're running a contest giving you the opportunity to submit a review on any piece of audio recording gear or software that you own with a chance to win a great prize that will last you a whole year long.
What's all involved? Find out more in today's VOX Daily!
Got Gear?
If there's one thing voice talent like to talk about aside from voice acting, it's their recording studio, equipment and software.
And, if there's one thing many talent enjoy hearing of aside from the art and business of voice acting, it's learning about the different kinds of microphones, software packages, preamps, mixers and so on it's how they work and if they are a good investment.
Short of going to audio recording school, working at Sweetwater Sound or being raised in either of Dan Lenard's or George Whittam's homes, this sort of information is difficult to find in all in one place and in text format.
That being said, Voices.com is in the midst of building a more comprehensive resource on our site to provide audio producers with relevant information about audio recording technology products that are found on the market...and we're asking for your help!
The Contest
To enter the contest, all you need to do is submit a review. I'll get to that in a minute but first, we'll talk about the prize!

๏ 1-year Premium membership (valued at $299 USD)
๏ Their review featured on VOX Daily complete with links to their website

All other entries
All entries submitted will be considered for publication on a new blog we are working on in step with building up a resource for audio producers to benefit by.

I'm tempted to write a review of a piece of technology/gear that every voice talent should have, but isn't necessarily found in the studio ...
I will most certainly partake in this contest. I would love to write on my equipment and have the chance to win a chance to have a full on membership on Voices.com!
