More Remodeling

Well, I surely haven't been lazy. Actually just the opposite. We're in the throes of remodeling, a lot of rooms here and we're almost done. None of this has much to do with voiceover, except that I've had to schedule recording during quiet times, when the flooring guy installing the laminate in the living room and the hardwood planks in the hall isn't sawing. Or the painters, the carpet installers, or the tile guy, removing the old tile and saw-cutting  new pieces.

And then there was furniture to be moved. We've been working on the house pretty much well into the ...<< MORE >>

Update on Dawbox Vocal Booth

As I've posted before here, I built (with the enormous help of my husband) the Dawbox isolation booth a while back. The step by step process was detailed here under Studio Equipment. I've recently received the following from Justin Lynch, creator of the Dawbox Booth plans:

"When the moment is right..."




This is a silly spoof featuring San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, and several area high-profile politicos, and my best  pharmaceutical ad voiceover announcer v/o. This was shown recently at the annual meeting of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association which features fun, hilarity and good-natured roasting of area political office-holders. I was told this little ad-spoof "brought the house down".

Scott Brick's Contest Seeks Industry's Next Audiobook Reader

I was gonna go for it, until I read all the rules and the fine print. DANG. No pros allowed. My first audiobook title was just released. And I was paid for it, which automatically disqualifies me.

And check out Tracy Pattn's recent Voicebank podcast that features an interview with Scott Brick.

VoiceoverXtra Interview: Bill Holmes

Could you learn something from self-proclaimed Voice-over Doctor, Bill Holmes?

How about being able to discern weak from strong choices? In John Florian's two-part interview in VoiceoverXtra , Bill states that there are no "wrong" choices per se, but there could be better ones!

Part 1 is here:


I enjoy how Bill explains today's reality of a recording or audition session, and demystifies it . What I also found interesting is what the average audition to booking ratio is in Part 2.
