VOX Talk PODCAST: EPISODE 17

Salutation:

Hi there! You're listening VOX Talk, the voice over industry podcast, and if I may, your voice over podcast ☺ I'm Stephanie Ciccarelli, your friendly guide and host. We've got lots of great stories and segments for you today, including a special treat in Julie Williams' segment featuring Pat Fraley. Let's get to it!

The Loop:

Verbum Domini Joins SQPN

Verbum Domini, a daily scripture reading podcast created by voice talent Brian Noe, has just become part of the largest Catholic Podcasting Network, SQPN.com. In a recent interview, Brian revealed, "I'm very excited about the prospects for the program moving forward. I know that it will be in good hands at SQPN."

To learn more about SQPN and listen to the podcasts hosted there, visit sqpn.com.

News #2

Don's Oscar Experience

In entertainment news, Don LaFontaine had the great pleasure and honour of co-announcing the Oscars this year with Gina Tuttle. One of the perks Don experienced was getting to see baby Suri with proud papa Tom Cruise before the awards.

To discover more about the rehearsal process for the Oscars and what the ceremony was like from Don's point of view, visit the VOX Daily blog at blogs.voices.com/voxdaily.

News #3

VOICE Conference in Las Vegas, NV March 27 - 31.

To conclude this news wrap, we are only a matter of weeks away from the 2007 VOICE Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada! If you're going, be sure to let us know so that we can meet up. Carol, Laurynda and I will be making the trek from the Great White North and are especially looking forward to meeting members of Voices.com.

Leave a shout on the blog VOX Daily and be counted! If your name is there, we'll know to keep our eyes out for you ☺ ( blogs.voices.com/voxdaily/ )

The Biz:

Today in The Biz, Julie Williams has produced an awesome review of Pat Fraley's "Greatest Cartoon Voice Tricks Ever Smuggled Out of Hollywood", complete with samples from the CD and of course, the permission of the master himself. Here's Julie Williams!

One thing about this podcast is that it gets better and better, mostly because of people who contribute to VOX Talk and truly make their own. While Julie already knows what I think of her hard work, she hasn't yet heard from you! If you have a minute, send Julie some feedback about her segments. You can reach her at either juliewilliams.voices.com or voice-overs.com.

Tech Talk:

Colin Campbell speaks candidly about the difference between control surfaces and audio interfaces. If you want to sound great, listen to this segment.

Again, if you've found Colin's segments to be helpful, let him know! You can visit Colin at either colincam.voices.com or affordableannouncer.com.

VoxBox:

Ladies and Gentlemen, pro voice talent Brian Haymond is here to bring us back to basics with a rant on rates! As you may have gathered in this industry, rates are very important and the setting of appropriate rates perhaps even more so. Ok, everyone, let's roll the tape, er, I mean MP3.

Farewell:

Thanks for sharing Brian. This issue will only clear itself up if everyone is accountable! This isn't the first piece and I'm sure it won't be the last that we'll air on the subject! While it's still fresh in your mind, how do you feel about rates in the voice marketplace? Now is the time to have your say. Send in your audio feedback to be included in next week's edition of VOX Talk via email or call the VOX Talk Hotline at 1-888-359-3472 ext. 117 to leave a message.

That's it for now. I'm Stephanie Ciccarelli - See you next week!
