My new Lawyer pal, Brett Farrell, in Australia has just posted a fascinating blog about the brand warfare that is being waged in the Australian radio-scape. Melbourne’s KISS was first but now ARN’s KIIS is coming round (yes, using the very famous LA KIIS brand). Brett writes from the legal […]
Joe Cipriano was kind enough to provide some longer clips of his new book Living On Air. I have posted those below. If this is the first page you have come to then please check out the interview!

Our pal Georgio Riolo, featured before, has a new library that could really come in handy as an add-on to your production. SilentScapes is the name. They are very clean backgrounds and ambiences, indoor and outdoor, that will help with layering and organic widening. Visit this site or read below […]
Brian Cooney, requested multiple times, was a nice chat and very insightful on the voiceover world. I really enjoyed his candor on certain topics like money, unions, competition and workloads. I have had multiple interviewees in the past tell me they prefered not to speak about one or more of […]
My new friend Brian Cooney is back with part 2! Actually he didn’t go anywhere but whatever. FYI-I cut it off right before we started the Union talk so Part2 begins as we dive into that. Then we talk different types of jobs, gaining and losing gigs, studio specs and […]
I’m always open to giving the really young, passionate prods out there a platform to show off their work. Rhys Messenger checked in with me a few days ago from Townsville in Queensland, Australia. It sounds made up to me but let’s go with it 😉 He has a real […]
This Podcast is actually the audio feed from my Google Hangout with Jeff Berlin and Steve Sykes. The goal was to toss out all the background and personal interview crap and stick to Issues of TECH and only TECH as it relates to a Voiceover or Production pro. Steve and […]
Part 2 of the VO/PROD Tech Roundtable: The Podcast continues…
UPDATE: Congrats to @tastyvoice on twitter, Melanie Haynes. She is a voice actor and actress and has been at it for over 20 years. Thanks to everyone for entering and for supporting our good friend Joe Cipriano. Be sure to click the links below to check out his book. I […]
I had a quick chat with Sam Botta after my TECH ROUNDTABLE. Sam is knee deep in the VO world among other things and sent me a quick review on the Apogee MiC. We’ve discussed travel options on this Blog and the Podcast before. There are lots of ways to […]
Jeff Berlin and Steve Sykes were Live with me today for the first Round Table. We kept the conversation focused on TECH as it relates to Voiceover and Production talent. I was trying to keep it geared toward freelance talent but in the end I don’t think that was important. […]
LIVE LINK: http://youtu.be/eTHturA0gCY UPDATE: We have locked in a new DATE/TIME: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15TH 12PM ET / 9AM PT SYKES – BERLIN – DREAN TECH ROUNDTABLE This is the post I will keep on the front page of my site. It will be updated with info on how to join us […]
My guest also happens to be a very good friend and someone who I have turned to many times for professional advice. Allan Peck has seen momentous leaps in his career for well over a decade but especially just in the last 12 to 18 months. He is the voice […]
And…we continue with Part 2. This is a major gear shift as I pick up the pace and the tempo of questions asked. I go in about 20 directions trying to squeeze as much info from Allan’s brain as I could. We get into Source Connect, Agents, Managers, Types of […]
One of the fast rising talents in the Radio Imaging Voiceover world also happens to be female but they are certainly not mutually exclusive. Rachel McGrath was first given a spotlight a few years back when she was in the CCM+E building in Atlanta using her production and subsequent VO […]
Some longer Audio samples and demos from Deke. Enjoy!
Cousin Deke is a lot of things. Talented Voice artist, Excellent producer, National and International Talent and super down-to-earth human being. Technologically Advanced is not one of those things. I jest (a little) just to demonstrate that while Deke is one of the best and most successful working talents in […]
You want to hit Play and have the Playhead (cursor) stop where you hit stop. You do NOT want it to jump back to the spot at which you hit play. Turn on the little Arrow/Play Button looking thing on the right, next to the Main Counter- excuse the technical jargon.
Friend of the podcast (and me) R’Dub has a damn fine event coming his way. I jumped on him fast to get info, full well knowing he probably can’t say anything yet. He is going to be on a show I really love, Shark Tank in a couple weeks.
This is one of those things I notice more producers do NOT have turned on. I personally think it helps me work faster and its possible some people are not aware of it or never bothered to click it. But mainly people are aware of it and somehow decided they don’t like it.
The fine folks at noise fusion are ready to launch ID.2. They have a new video promoting this fact. I LOVE ID.1. It was so different and it REALLY cut through everything else, especially when it came out.
I am trying to help my good pal Stew Herrera raise even more money to find a cure for Arthritis. If you are not aware Stew is an AVID bicyclist. He is about to go on another major ride and your support would be very valuable. It’s the Arthritis Foundation 525 […]
My pals at Edge studio check back in with more news on their expansion. I like to cover training and the all-around improvement of our skill-set when I can and this fits right into that. This one may be more valuable to our West Coasters! If you have a new […]
Today I feature a super-talented sound designer in Bulgaria named Kamen Atanasov whom I came across a few months back when I was looking to branch out on some FX for a variety of projects. He has many great credits but one in particular that stands out is his vast […]
5 more and I get to retire! No, you won’t get rid of me that easy. Voice talent, Producer, Singer and all around nice guy, Jon Carter is the guest. I found a lot of value not just in how to be a better talent but also how to […]
