You’d think working at the same company with someone would allow you the opportunity to get to know one another before having them on your podcast. You’d THINK that, but, alas, no. The production department at FUNimation and their art department don’t get to interact much outside the break room and occasionally running into one…
I’ve written a few things over the years: short stories, poems (even won an award in high school [plus a $50 gift card to Circuit City if that tells you how long ago]), stage plays, screenplays, adaptive scripts, WAY TOO MANY tweets/posts and so on. However, when it came to attempting to write a book,…
If you want to make it in VO, you’re going to need some kind of home setup. You can go all out for a fully-equipped studio, where you can record, edit, mix, etc for full productions. Or it can even be as simple as a laptop and a USB microphone. The technology is there. Why…
… Okay, the title needs work, but you get the gist. Been talking a lot about home setups with fellow voiceover peeps: what works, what doesn’t, what’s necessary, what you can do without, blah blah blah. Since I love talking about the biz and gear, why not post more about it? Might be a little…
I was at a good spot when I first started in Voice Over. My boyfriend (now husband) was an engineer that could point me in the right direction. Plus, I’d just finished working at music store for two years. When it came to putting together my own studio, a lot of it was trial and…
Ha! Thought that Simpsons reference would get your attention! Now feel free to run away because this is a serious post… No? You want to stick around? Okay. Truth bomb is about to go off like nothing else. Consider yourself warned. Haven’t really talked about it before. Not even on That Anime Show, which is pretty…
While attending the baby shower of a dear friend on Monday, I got a lot of questions about my bees. It’s actually become something of a common occurrence since we got them earlier this year. Stephen and I have even been referred to as “The Bee People”, which is pretty cute when you think about it. It…
Turns out this food stuff is kind of important. Apparently you need it to live or something. Who knew (ah, sarcasm)? If only I could show food how much I cared for it by preparing awesome meals for my friends and family. I’m not that great when it comes to the whole cooking thing. Well……
Time to geek out about microphones! If you’re in search of a mic (please never abbreviate microphone as “mike”), best to test out a bunch of different ones. This is the best way to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Dynamics are a good “workhorse” mic. They work in a variety of situations. I personally like…
Many before me have answered these questions & others like them: “How do I become a voice actor?” “Got any advice for someone trying to break into the industry?” “Do I need a demo and/or agent?” Yet, despite their best efforts, the inquiries continue. So here is my attempt. Voice Over (or V.O.) is everything…
