My friend John Florian runs Voice Over Xtra which is one of the top (if not the top) news sources for all things voice over. He is also a proud member of MCA-I which, as a international board member and chair of the membership committee, makes me doubly happy.

I mention John because he sent me an email advising that he will be hosting a seminar on November 7, 2009 in New York City entitled Mastering Audiobook Narration. This workshop will be led by master narrator Alan Sklar (also an MCA-I member, by the way).

John says Alan is the industry’s “go-to” narrator for dramatic fiction and clear, informative business, medical and educational books. All this time I thought I was that guy! Crap! 😉

Anyway, Voice Over Xtra is presenting Alan’s workshop which will take place at Shetler Studios, Studio 1 244 West 54th Street, 12th floor from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on November 7th. There are some spots available so if you’d like more details you can call 203-459-8834 or just sign up here.

    As a proud MCA-I member myself,(Do we have an official cheer, Peter?) I say GO!

    John puts on a great website for all us VO’s out in the world.
    And Alan is the real deal! He’s an awesome audiobook talent and a great human being (that’s a real plus, don’t you think! 😉

    I took one of Alan’s workshops & it’s well worth the time & investment….in my book!…sorry….couldn’t resist! 😉

    Peace!

    Peter,

    Thanks SO much for your generous comments. Indeed, Alan’s workshop can be a career-changing event for narrators.

    Somehow, though, the link for workshop details isn’t working. Here’s another:
