The red is poppin!
Yesterday I received and email from a client whom I had sent a audition to. The platform shows if they listened ( which they did) and if they like they can shortlist you ( which on the platform they DID NOT). After the cordial greetings they mentioned that they had selected me as 1 of the 5 finalist for the job ( electric truck manufacturers). Their question was that they were pressed to meet deadline and if I was selected for the job would I be able to provide a turnaround by the end ( end of day) this was at 3pm est and their end was 7pm est. My response was ABSOLUTELY ( yes actual response all caps) . At 4 pm o recieced a response that they were going in another direction, but the representative stated that I was his choice. Would I mind if they added me to there personal list of vo artists as to avoid the hassles of searching ? Again I responded yes and thanked them for just being considered Your customer service , wether you do or don't get that job can determine your jobs in the future , and establish your reputation Just my 2 cents

This looks good! Very Neat.
This class is wonderful, the amount of information gain far exceeds the purchase price. The first week gave me insight in how important social media is in daily interaction, let along how powerful it is in business transactions. The second week provided details on how the freelance platform Fiverr works and how it can be used to acquire clients and build you voiceover presence and career. Great sessions, can't wait to get to next week! Well worth the money!

Well Earl, It's good to be enthusiastic when you have an engaging teacher, mentor and coach. It's like coming out of church, mosque or temple being fired up from a good sermon ready to take on the world! 😂
I have been thinking about practising reading. Essentially I plan to just practice reading so that I can get use to my recorded voice. I am not worried about the quality if these practice recordings. So I have an idea. My phone has a recorder on it. So I can just record myself reading using my phone. This would enable me to have practice sessions while I am on lunch break. What do you think of this idea?

Yeah John, that would be a great idea. It's easier to critique your voice when you listen to a recording that only recreate the sound that it picks up without any bias.
Hey Earl! Here is my new store bought GADQ hat with your new Voice Over Acting book.

Michael, you said in the AMA today that you did auditions on Upwork. Did you mean actual auditions or the process of writing cover letters and proposals?
I completed four commercial script readings, take a listen and please be gentle.

I decided to take down the soundproof area and rebuild. I came to this sad, sad decision after the fish hook and duct fell off the moving blankets. Cry not for me, for I shall build a new! Mean while to continue practicing, I will build a sound proof box and speak from there. Farewell and glad tidings to you all for I shall rise, rise again like the firey Phoenix!

I preordered the Kindle version of book last week.
“Help” is a very vague idea. I wouldn’t go around asking established voice actors for opportunities or hand outs. It usually looks bad. Ya know, before I had a career in VO, I was a broke stage actor, going to college and taking any acting job I could get. I was paid in coupons for doing local business commercials with frugal business owners who didn’t care if I did it for free. Expect to be working hard towards a career for a few years. You need training, coaching, acting lessons, improve classes, audio / sound production knowledge, and courses on how to audition. It takes years to get started and there aren’t any shortcuts. Nobody just gets thrown into the deep end and starts working on big five studio projects. There is such a thing as “paying your dues”… juss sayin’ I apologize if that came off as rude. But I get asked a lot how someone can get into voice acting. My answer is always the same. “Do it for free for at least a year. Don’t expect anyone to hand you anything. And if you still want to be a voice actor… keep at it! Someones answer to this person. Sounds like good advice, Rick and I know what you mean as I get that question often. When I start to explain all that is involved...."crickets" ,replied to WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! And in this group we got the proof. That he's DEAD WRONG! And there's way more work out side "working on big five studios projects." Maybe that's where he wants to go. And what he put up with to get work as a "broke stage actors" in local markets. This person gives the industry a bad name... Juss sayin' 😒 And some poor newbie is reading this and getting turned off, because no one helped you, you don't feel the need to help others. And then try to justify it with this garbage. yes it makes me very mad.😡🤬

1. Do you have any idea where YOU are going on this journey? 2. Are you along for the ride and thrill of the group? Or are you seriously looking to further your skills in the VO community? 3. In this microcosm Mr. Hall has created, has this aided your vision or blurred it more? 4. Where do you want to be in this community? 5. What are you willing to sacrifice to make it there? 6. In this space people, we all have something to give. This is by no means a parasitic community. With those words, do you believe this is a home for you and a place where you can always return, with people you can always connect with? 7. How far can your vision take you? This is a bit lengthy but I felt the need to post it. Sometimes we journey through something and may encounter some low moments. These are questions I ask myself. I firmly believe our answers are within and with effort they manifest outside of us. I hope this helps anyone who reads this. Bon journey all! https://www.canva.com/create/vision-boards/ https://healthyhappyimpactful.com/vision-board-examples-ideas/

1. Yes, to establish a profitable business but first master the fundamentals. 2. No, not just the ride but the knowledge gain to become a better VO artist. 3. Actually, it has made it clearer where you can see how to move forward. 4. Higher on the leader board helping as many fellow VO artist as I can. 5. Time, money and hair. 6. This community made me feel very comfortable from day one, like I have been here for a while. 7. Your vision can go very far because it is imagination and that is limitless, it's the effort it takes to keep up with that vision that will get you to your goal. Haven't established a vision board but after these question, I think creating one will my next project. Anthony, this was good stuff and it's something that should be constantly reviewed to reaffirm why we're attempting this in the first place.

Anthony, doubt is good it's just an indicator that you want to make best decision. As I learned a long time ago, every decision you make will inherently be wrong. The key is making it work in spite of it. Just think about courage, it's the ability to go forth in the face of fear.

Hey guys thanks so much for your well wishes and prayers. Right now I have a cheek full of cotton and am on some pretty heavy meds for pain but all in all I’m fine. As I have been laying here all day I did think that the link below may be of some help. It is a playlist I made some years back called “How to start voice acting”. Let me know your thoughts 🤗 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu0VuUfrsEIA1eT20VItCkC8lOhf1LeYV&feature=shares

They both sound great but.......the Windstar had a better flow, it more natural.
RMS -23 TO - 18 DB ( -20 ) PEAK: - 3 DB NOISE FLOOR: -60 DB What do these represent?

RMS has to do with the waveform. Peak -3dB has to do with the amplitude of the wave and it's acceptable height. Noise Floor -60dB has to do with how low or the distance the noise floor is from the signal or in this case your audio signal.
3 likes • Jan 19
Well, As far as -3dB for you peak value, that is used to avoid clipping in you audio recording and let you know if your volume levels are too high. Your noise floor is important because you want to keep noise ( a by product of electronics) out of you audio recording which may make the recording sound bad. In CATV we kept the noise floor low so that it would not present itself in the video. As for RMS, I'm not sure about it's relevancy to us but I will do the research on that one to further understand it.
