New
news is Good news
Since
moving to the Philly area last summer, I've been feeling a little
out of touch with my old friends and clients. Sure, I get to hook
up via e-mail, telephone, and ISDN for scripts and recording sessions...
But it's not like the good old days when we all stared at each other
through a couple layers of plate glass while working on a job.
So,
this is the first in what I hope will be a long series of semi-frequent,
but perhaps irregularily spaced updates, observations, and tid-bits
from the other side of the mic.
If
this prospect makes you groan, use the "opt-out"
link to let me know you wish to be removed from my e-mail list.
If you like the idea, or if you have something you'd like to share,
please feel free to use the "contact"
link to let me know.

The
passing of winter is marked by the arrival of robins, blooms, and
the perrenial awards shows!
I voiced a bumper crop this year, including the Charlotte, NC, Addy
awards, NC Brick Assn. Design Awards, SCAIA Archetectural Awards,
and various salutes and testimonials for Duke Energy Co. and Sonoco
Products, to name a few.

Was That Really
You?
OK,
so I got lucky and picked up some work from NFL Films, over on the
Jersey side of the river. And, yes, they hired me to voice the official
opening of the world television broadcast feed for this year's Superbowl
game. Click HERE
for a partial sample of the audio. I offered to do it live from the
pressbox in Detroit, but they didn't go for it.

Gotta
Have That VO NOW!!
The
MrVO studio features the new Telos XStream codec for ISDN audio transfers.
CD quality, real time, full duplex, stereo (if I talk out of both
sides of my mouth.)
Fax
or e-mail the script to me, have your studio dial my SPID numbers
(a couple of regular telephone numbers) and in a few seconds we'll
be connected as clearly as if I was sitting there with you. Minutes
later, you've got your VO in hand, ready for final production!
Call for dial-up numbers, or for the name of an ISDN-equipped studio
near you.

Featured
Studio:
Jay Howard ProductionAudio
It should be no
surprise that I chose Jay's facility, in Charlotte, NC, to be the first
studio featured in my newsletter. I literally lived at Jay's
for more than a quarter of a century! I served as audio engineer/producer,
voice talent, office worker, janitor, handyman, PR agent, chief cook
and bottle-washer, among other positions. Some people thought I was
a part-owner, but I was just did a lot of work there on a per-job basis.
I say this with
a great deal of pride, because the name "Jay Howard" has become
,over the decades, a benchmark in audio production excellence in the
SouthEastern US.
The man himself,
Jay Howard, is modest, quiet, unassuming, and completely dedicated to
his clients... which is why his studio has been so successful for so
long. To
check the studio out on the web, click here.
