			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>So far it&#8217;s been a great week for Nethervoice! </strong>I&#8217;ve worked on surveys for Microsoft and Novartis, and I translated  for <a href="http://www.pearhead.com" target="_blank">Pearhead</a>, a delightful new company making charming keepsakes for babies and pets. Dutch company ABCinema released the English version of their <a href="http://www.abcinema.nl/en/1/Contents/Visual%20Tour.html" target="_blank">digital movie course</a> (narrated by yours truly), and I became the European voice for Finnish company <a href="http://www.safera.fi/index-eng.html" target="_blank">Safera</a>.</p>
<p>The icing on the cake was the release of my fourth audio book <strong>&#8220;Trial of the Mystic&#8221;</strong>. It&#8217;s a medieval mystery novel, set in a dark and devious monastery. It doesn&#8217;t get much better than that! Truth be told, not every week is like this&#8230; but I&#8217;m sure you know what that&#8217;s like. If it rains it pours. Some projects were a long time in the making.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, I discovered a wonderful way to use and promote my voice-over skills to a live audience.  It fell into my lap, a few weeks ago, and I highly recommend you give it a try&#8230;<em> <a title="Double Dutch" href="http://nethervoice.com/nethervoice/2009/09/22/how-i-became-world-famous/" target="_blank">continue</a></em></p>
<p>The second thing I&#8217;d like to share with you, is my frustration with the overall quality of voice-talent on some Pay-to-Play sites. I hate beating a dead horse, but some things simply need to be said. And instead of whining about it, I believe I came up with a few unusual solutions to persistent problems. But let me warn you ahead of time. You might not like my ideas. But if we&#8217;d all agree, life would be quite boring, wouldn&#8217;t it? So, it&#8217;s time we talk about the amateurs pretending to be voice-over pros, and in particular about this question&#8230; <a href="http://nethervoice.com/nethervoice/2009/09/23/should-amateurs-be-ousted-from-voice-over-sites/" target="_blank"><em>continue</em></a></p>
