Taji's Frankenstein Monster Part 2: IT'S ALIVE!

Taji’s Frankenstein Monster Part 2: IT’S ALIVE!

January 31, 2010  |  Articles  |  12 Comments

Welcome folks… this could probably be one of the longest posts ever featured on TVE so put on your spectacles and get comfy.

I gave the previous post “Taji’s Frankenstein Monster : The Perfect VO Casting Site” a few days more as the feature on the blog than I planned… just to see how many more voice actors and agents would leave suggestions.

Not surprisingly the post received a great amount of hits …. many people contacted me directly and told me how excited they were about reading the comments and suggestions left in the previous post.

The frustrating thing to me, of course, is that so few people left their opinion. I’m sure the industry has thousands upon thousands of talent out there dying to speak, and although this perplexes me I still believe that “the show much go on” and the purpose of the post was not to see how many could participate but to see what ideas and suggestions could be derived from the comments to improve the Voice Over Casting site (specifically the p2p ones) experience.

It’ll be a Pay-To-Play site… and it will be an amalgamation of the best parts of all the voice over casting websites that are on the market these days… so It’s a Frankenstein’s monster (remember Frankie was the doctor… his creation was the monster) consisting of the best from Voices.com, Voice123.com, VOplanet.com & Bodalgo.com

What would it be like? What would it have?

Khelo… my name is Inego Mantoya… You Keeeld my Father… Prepare to..

Just Kidding.

Today’s post is about a product I’ve heard allot about and is gaining popularity in the Voice Over and Home Studio Industries.

This is not an advertisement and I am not getting paid by these folks but as someone who is constantly trying to improve the sound of his voiceover recording environment by making it quieter and quieter I came across several references to something called Green Glue.
