Greetings and Salutations dear readers,
I wanted to tap into the minds and experience of the VoiceOver collective and ask a question that sometimes bothers me. Is it just me or has working in the voice over industry sometimes made you feel like you are a fishmonger in the local market.
Whether its during a communication between a client or an agent proxy I find that sometimes the haggling can get tiresome and somewhere along the line I decided to get very very stubborn.
I am sure that the Global financial crisis (a gift from the last US president as far as I am concerned) has caused some serious financial belt tightening. The ripple effect from this crisis has devastated thousands of companies and has caused the laying off of possibly millions of people worldwide.

Good Morning, For those of you not familiar with late 80s Heavy Metal ... that was the title of on of my favorite Megadeth albums. I just thought that I would update you guys with the blog's upgrade situation. Currently I am redesigning and adding new features to the blog. I was going to use the same standard theme that I am currently using on the voiceover-casting.com servers... but decided to dish out some money and buy a premium theme with added functionality. This means that I'll be able to deliver more elements to my readers. At this point in time I am

Morning Compadres, Today's blog post title is based on a lyric from a song for a band called My Morning Jacket. It was recently featured in the animated series American Dad... and I found it appropriate to use for this post since we're talking about Voice Over community sites on the web. Very recently I got an the following email: Meet and join to the better website for Voice Talents Hello, Visit the www.ChooseAVoice.com and meet the website that was build in fit for you to disclose yourself. We don't talk only your language, we also talk the language of your client (in english, spanish or

As you might have gleaned I’m the kind of guy that keeps his promise. Beginning of this month I had promised you folks to post a few pictures of my trip to the Coastal City of Aqaba in Jordan as well as a few other pictures taken during my trip to Jordan.
I will try to run a narrative so you can follow the sequence of events for each image. Please note that the images have been reduced in size so if you would like to view them at a larger size just right click on the image and chose view image:
1. After a bus ride that took 6 hours for a 4 hours trip we finally reached our destination in the coastal city of Aqaba on the Gulf of Aqaba which is connected to the Red Sea. Below is the view from our hotel window. We stayed at a hotel called The Day’s Inn Hotel (can an inn be a hotel?) Surprisingly this hotel probably had the best customer service I have EVER received in my life. And because of that I highly recommend you stay there if you decide to go to Aqaba.
2. We went on this trip with a tour group from Amman (the capital city of Jordan where we usually stay on trips to jordan) the tour group allowed us to check into our hotel and get some lunch then quickly rounded us all up so we can go to a Desert camp a few hours outside of Aqaba called Wadi Rum. Wadi in Arabic means Valley. As you can see from the picture we got there at around sunset. The people up on that dune are the local Bedouins just hanging out.
