Everyday VOpreneur with Marc Scott

Finding Your Authentic Voice with Dave Walsh

Every audition spec we see asks for genuine and authentic reads. But how do we get there? First, it may involve some tears! Dave Walsh is one of the most respected and admired coaches in the voice over industry. He has a gift for peering into the souls of voice actors, and helping us get past all "stuff" to be able to find our TrueTell®. When we get there, that's when we deliver absolutely genuine and authentic reads.
In addition to offering plenty of advice for how we can get out of our own way, Dave also shares his powerful story of losing his voice (legitimately) to turning that into a way to help others find theirs.

Talking Toys, Characters and Animation with Cristina Milizia

Animation is a genre most voice actors dream about being a part of one day. Right alongside that would be character work in general, whether that comes in the form of animation, gaming or even children's eLeaarning.
Many voice actors assume this work is only available to talent living in LA, and only accessible to those with elite representation. Cristina Milizia, (who now lives in upstate New York) blows up many of the commonly held beliefs and misconceptions about these genres of voice over.
Be inspired and encouraged by her story and the path she took to clients like Disney and Nickelodeon, knowing that the same is entirely possible for you!

Straight Talk about A.I. in Voice Over with Bev Standing

If you follow the current public narratives surrounding A.I. in voice over, it would be easy to draw the conclusion that we're all screwed and the industry is moments away from it's final breath. Every post about A.I. is negative and often rooted in fear.
But is this an accurate representation of what's actually going on in the industry? Or is the reality is a little more nuanced, and perhaps a little less doom and gloom?
Bev Standing has become one of the most trusted and respected voices in our industry when it comes to the subject of A.I. She got there because of a personal battle over an A.I. voice model of her voice that was used in ways she never approved, and she fought back.
In this fireside chat about A.I., Bev and I go deep into A.I. and voice over. Are things legitimately bleak? How can we protect ourselves? Can we use A.I. to our advantage? We cover it all!
The conclusion... it's not the robots that are taking over... maybe it's the Canadians. ;)
