…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?
OK, wow.
I promised voice talent, author and ProComm audio producer Dan Friedman at Faffcon 2 that should I get to Asheville, NC I would catch up with him. He, in turn, promised a tour of ProComm. I got the better of this deal.
OK, wow.
ProComm’s studios are stunningly impressive from the building’s outstanding acoustical construction to the technical brilliance of the layout and studio execution to the professionalism and friendliness of their staff (thank you Sheldon and Chris). It’s like a voice-over paradise.
You want bells? They got ’em. Whistles, they got ’em. ISDN? Holy cow do they have that!
Then I got to see Dan’s terrific and customized home studio which allows him to do some great voice work after he’s done at ProComm (Dan is the national voice of the Crowne Plaza hotel chain).
Then Dan and his wife Melodie were kind enough to take me to dinner in beautiful downtown Asheville where we ate a little and talked alot more. It was a great deal of fun and I am so glad I got to visit with both of them.
Dan will be at Faffcon 3 and he’s got some cool presentation plans ready…bring your notebook.
And if you haven’t yet subscribed to the ProComm blog that Dan helps write – well, y’all best get on that!
You may know that the voiceover unconference, Faffcon 3, is sold out.
What you might NOT know is that there is a waiting list.
There are no guarantees but if you still think you MUST go (and you must) then you should sign up here.
A lunch time email from Faffy – actually a “frantic Faffy-gram” because evidently dolphins are not only smarter than we assume, they are also more high-strung – advises that only 8 (eight – the number less than nine but more than seven) spots remain for Faffcon – the Voiceover Unconference on September 23-25 in Hershey, PA.
This third iteration of the event has been selling faster than ever before – no video promotion necessary.
Faffy also advised: “Wanna go but need some dough? If you, or a deserving VO pro you know, would benefit from coming to FaffCon, but would need financial assistance to make that happen, please check out the FaffCon Peer-to-Peer Scholarship. It was generously funded by FaffCon 2 participants after the Atlanta event.”
Hope to see you there.
