Salutation:
Hi! I'm Stephanie Ciccarelli, and you're listening VOX Talk, the industry leading voice over podcast ☺ Elie Hirschman and Colin Campbell are joining us today. Before those two gentlemen take the stage, let's jump into the news.
The Loop:
Spanish Voice Actors from Simpson's threaten boycott
Will the wrath of the Spanish speaking Simpson's voice actors thwart a Spanish dubbing of the Simpson's Movie? Sources say that the Spanish voice actors who give voice to the Simpson's cartoon are threatening to boycott the Simpson's Movie. If you remember, these individuals are the same talent who were dissatisfied with the status of their pay going back to issues that rocked the Simpson's boat in 2005.
Will the statements of Gabriel Chavez, who provides the Spanish voice of Mr. Burns, stop the movie from being recorded in Spanish? Visit cinematical.com for more information.

Around the Christmas holidays, a number of Canadian comedians headed to Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan to encourage the troops and deliver some much-appreciated fits of giggles.

News #3
What's that in the sky?
To wrap up, there were funny things going on in the heavens on Sunday night, witnessed by people in Southwestern Ontario and as far as Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A bolide, or meteorite was confirmed sighted between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST, blazing across the sky, burning up before our eyes, complete with a tail. I happened to see this first hand at 8 p.m. while driving west toward London from Hamilton just outside of Brantford's city limits.

VoxBox:
Last week, I mentioned on the VOX Daily blog that I'd be writing an article about the Australian English dialect. If you are an Australian voice talent and would like to contribute to the article on your accent, send me an email at Stephanie@voices.com ! We'd love to hear from all the Aussies out there to make this the best article on why people should hire Australian talent available on the Internet.
