Radio Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.

March 12, 2008 by Rowell

Peter O’Connell, in the VO business under the title, audio’connell, recently hit a nerve dead-on when he wrote about the demise of careers in what used to be known as radio broadcasting. I just had to join the list of those who had already commented with their experiences. And of course, since I seem unable to just […]

“if you let everybody play…”

March 3, 2008 by Rowell

I doubt I’ll ever need a job-search website which only specializes in $100,000 a year minimum salaries…but this spot created for a company called “the Ladders” absolutely captured my attention the first time I saw it.

When I had to switch web hosts early this year, the few posts I had (and all […]

This evening, while enjoying some in-studio conversation with the lovely and versatile Leanne Heintz (a wonderful voice talent just now starting to extend her VO reach via the internet), I was bragging again about the Voiceover Bulletinboard, or www.vo-bb.com. Leanne had come over to record an audition at my place and had some questions about […]
