Midweek VO Thoughts

I can’t believe we’re into Wednesday already. Last night as I was falling asleep I had an idea for the Voiceover World – of course I use the word ‘World’ kind of loosely. I am looking to start something, at first on Facebook – a group – where voiceover artists can go and talk about whatever they want – be it their latest gig, their favorite client, what it is that makes them tick as an artist – occasionally I was considering going as far as having VO artists post their demos so that others could critique and give feedback (positive of course.) In all, a place where we could go as Voiceover Artists to unwind, and relax and just converse about what we do in our lives. (I’m sure some are already using Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn to share their accomplishments, but this would be more in depth then your everyday run of the mill “Allstate has me in Good Hands, I Just Saved 15% and Ran for the Border for the SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY Back to School BLOWOUT Sale on Pencils and Paper with a 50% coupon for Applebees” voiceover you just did.
I will be setting up this group soon on Facebook and I look forward to people joining and conversing/learning and talking. If you have any thoughts on the above, please feel free to share them.
thanks,
JP

Monday Tweeting, Script Tweaking, and Forecast Reading

Aaah Monday...
   started out this morning with a few station clients and reworking some scripts.  I was also having a nice Twitter conversation with Terry Daniel about one of his posts talking about the right and wrong way to advertise a VO business on Twitter, which led to advertising VO business on two other well known sites (LinkedIn and Facebook) too. One of our friends from Voices.com Stephanie Ciccarelli mentioned a possibility of discussing it in a Voices.com Podcast - which will likely happen. All of this conversation happening within about 30 minutes. (gotta love technology.)
   Today is pretty good - am working on some side projects rolling through Voices.com auditions.
   What are you up to this week?

  Feel free to let me know.
