    “It’s the best thing I ever did”. “A total waste of money”. When you ask fellow vo-pros what they think of voice-over websites, you better be ready for a heated debate! Especially when you’re getting started in the business, you’re probably trying to figure out how to spend your money wisely. Are these sites an [...]

    Hello again:

    I have just uploaded my demos, but instead of the Audio MP3 sign that can be seen on your profile, I only have links that take the listener to a page on my blog. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get it the way you have it on your profile page?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for repairing the button. I copied and pasted it into my web page, but somehow it won’t save… Since I’m not really a programmer, I don’t have a clue what’s wrong or how to fix it. Any ideas?

    Allow me to start this blog by making a confession: I do not twit. I do love blackberries, but only on my pancakes. They leave me with a blue tooth here and there, but that’s not something I would text message you about, let alone twitter.

    Maybe I’m missing something huge here, but I’m just too [...]

    It’s nice to see that you have joined us, Erica. Best of luck to you in this exciting business! Last night, I discovered a neat little website dedicated entirely to tongue twisters. I intend to use a couple a day in my warm-up routine, to make sure I’m ready to record. Here’s the link:
