My friend and bilingual voiceover talent Liz deNesnera recently achieved one of her written goals from Faffcon 3 which was to redesign her web site and rebrand her company.
Take a look for yourself but I think she did a very nice job.
Tom Rohe was a professional voice over talent until about a year and a half ago. He is still involved in a voice over agency called SunSpots.
Because of complications following oral surgery, Tom has enormous trouble even speaking today without the help of the drug Ambien.
What Tom is asking for is help from anyone who can direct him to medical professionals who might better diagnose and help treat his condition which I would imagine to be enormously frustrating and as a voice talent, heartbreaking.
This is a video of his plight.
If there IS someone in the medical profession who you think Tom should speak to please contact Tom at Tom (at sign) mysunspots dot com.
Thanks.
Rudy Gaskins pinged me the other day to remind me that “That’s Voiceover” (to which I guess I still have a free ticket since I paid for the first “That’s Voiceover” but never got there cause my plane couldn’t land in NYC) is going to LA on October 6th.
It looks to be a much more involved event than in previous years, with seminars on audiobooks and microphones preceding the main event and later the drink fest, -er, networking event.
It really does look like a fun and informative event that Rudy and Joan Baker have put on for, I think, three years. And a portion of the proceeds from “That’s Voiceover” will go to support the Alzheimer’s Association.
I hope you’ll enjoy this fun event.
My friend and fellow voice talent Kevin Readdean serves as the narrator of the new audiobook Moonbane by Al Sarrantonio.
On his blog (to which I hope you will subscribe if you haven’t already) Kevin is hosting a giveaway of the audiobook he gives voice to.
Full details are available here; if you are of the mind to tweet this up, post his giveaway to Facebook, Google+ it or otherwise blog about it…that would be very kind of you on behalf of Kevin.
Thanks.
…and you are a voice actor, I have a professional suggestion I would like to make: do D.B.
By that I mean do D.B. Cooper’s Exertion Sounds for Video Games and ADR Seminar from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 13th.
My friend D.B. is very good at everything she does and I know I would enjoy this class if I could get there.
So you go for me, OK?
Needles and art.
I like one of those things.
But my agent and friend Erik Sheppard likes both of those things because, well, he’s a bit of a freak (not a bad quality in an agent).
You may have heard about Erik’s Don LaFontaine tattoo…well he’s at it…or guess inking it again.
But this time my shy, reticent agent (ha!) got his latest tattoo broadcast on national television (TLC).
I’m not much of a tattoo guy myself but I thought this was kinda cool…especially since it was somebody else getting drilled.
