Morning Folks, Quick note to those who might be mariginally interested in our Voiceover Casting Sites Directory... We've reached a Whopping 136 casting sites so far. you can view the VO Directory here: http://voiceover-casting.com/emporium/directory/ Many thanks to Michelle Summers, Paul Strikwerda and Douglas de Nance for their contributions to the directory. So far Douglas takes the cake at being the biggest casting site contributor! The plan today was for me to write an article about translation but when Doug sent me his list of Casting sites I had to go through them, verify them and update the directory ... that took about 90 minutes so my

Which is why I came up with the Bits and pieces posts which allow me to give you a list of things that I found interesting but I don’t have that much to say about. They might have relevance to the VO industry and might just be things that touched me in my personal life. Either way I’ll try to keep things interesting: Read More

The Facebook Conspiracy
This might be shocking for you to hear but … I’m a big conspiracy theorist (ok I was being sarcastic there).
I don’t come up with the theories but I do believe that often times things are not what they seem. From sudden economy crashes to war mongering across the globe to the rise and fall of our cost of living.
As voiceover artists who work through the internet … I believe that we need to strike a balance between giving out amazing amounts of information to websites like facebook, myspace, linkedin etc.
This came up today because of something my wife said to me about facebook. I despise facebook… honest to God I think facebook might be the single worst thing that has happened to the internet since pop ups and spam.

Morning People!
Its the weekend here in Sunny Cairo and I figured I’d give a few of you the heads up on finding some work through a couple of freelance sites that I know get some low paying but regular work. The term Freelancing originally came from the medieval sport of jousting where those Lancers with no allegiances to any of the Royal and noble houses would hire themselves out to lords with no budget to finance a full time Jousting champion (you’ll have to verify this info… I heard it through someone)
