an update on voice over blog links
Even though he didn’t know it, Bob Souer reminded me of something today in his blog post. I had asked for any bloggers who wanted a link on my blog and who were not already listed to ping me and I’d add them to my voice over blog roll on this si...
be in it for the money – international edition
As you’ll recall (cause you’re the only one who reads this blog…and thanks again for that) the issue of payment terms for voice over services provided was addressed here recently. It revolved around American voice talents who work ...
voice over talents – do i have your blog listed
Back in the early 1950’s when I started out blogging about voice overs (and marketing and advertising), there were like…5 of us. Now there’s a double-decker London bus full of voice over bloggers. While I think I have them all li...
is there too much noise?
The reason I ask this question is that I just enjoyed a nice three day weekend, pretty much away from the computer. This AM, opening up my Google reader, I see over 900 blog posts and over fifty of them are in the voiceover category. What is it we t...
blog action day 2009
I think this is the third one I’ve participated in and you should consider being a part of it. Last year over 12,000 blogs participated. This year’s topic for our October 15th posts is Climate Change. If you have a moment, please let othe...
calling all voice talent bloggers
Hi Folks! It’s been a while at least since I put out a call to make sure I have your blog listed on my blog roll here at voxmarketising. And I seem to be in tidy up mode today (office/studio looking spiffy and all cleaned up). Well, here’s your i...
the result of your input is now on display
So you’ll recall my post a few days ago wherein I posted a poll requesting your opinion about the new design for the blog masthead. The plan was to widen the blog a bit to better serve some changing media tools featured on the blog. Services like ...
can i ask your opinion please?
We’ll be doing some very minor redecorating of this blog (we’re going to widen it a little bit) but this will require that we change the size of the title banner. So it occurred to me that maybe I should take this time to freshen the look...
voice talents – show us your business cards
OK gang, fun idea time! As this blog is about voice over (vox), marketing (market) and advertising (tising) I thought we should have some summer fun here and combine all three into a voice talent business card gallery. Simply email me a decent qual...
the wind up and the pitch…
I was thinking yesterday I should write a blog post only because I hadn’t in a while and I’m sure someone is keeping score and if I don’t write something I’ll get blogger’s demerits or something. Assuming such things exist. Anyway my idea w...
courvo updates the blog-o
“The handsomest man in voice over”, Dave Courvoisier has finally answered my grown-up Christmas wish and updated the look and feel of his blog. If you’ve not yet subscribed, don’t admit that publicly but immediately rectify th...
houston, we fixed our problem
Sorry there hasn’t been a post or two for a little bit but there was this giant bug with a thousand legs and beady eyes with puss dripping from them and giant gnarly teeth attacking the blog…it was sooooo scary. But I killed the bug wit...
dave fleet’s five social media tools
When I read this blog post from Dave Fleet up in Toronto I thought to myself, I wish we could corral all the top 5 social media tools lists that are out there so we could see if there was some consensus on which ones were best (this week…ha!). Or e...
the kindness of weirdoes – more learnings from The Voice Over Entrance Exam
We’ve all heard tell and maybe even personally experienced the kindness of strangers in our lives and it often gives us hope for humanity. We usually quickly get over that hope but it was ours for a minute to savor. Kind of like hitting a great gol...
voice over guest bloggers are now invited
While an idea that has come to my mind is not original in the blogosphere, it is original to my blog as I have never invited guest bloggers to participate here with their thoughts. While comments and discussion are more than welcome always, I just ne...
the podcamp toronto meme
Podcamp Toronto is coming up this Saturday and Sunday. Well for me it will be Sunday (weather permitting) because Saturday is the dear boy’s birthday party, which is much more important. But today Sean McGaughey aka ductapeguy issued on-line warra...
a grand debut
With thanks to David Houston’s blog for the head-ups, major kudos to male voice talent Joe Rodriguez for a terrific audio book debut in the book Ten Mile River. The link features and audio cut of Joe’s work which I thought was really terr...
updating the voiceover blog roll and other rants
About once a year (maybe twice if I’m actually in the mood for it) I remember I need to update the voice over blog roll that you see to the right of this post. (No, no, your other right!) It contains a list of all the voice over talents who hav...
the urgency of birthing an internet
I guess when I think about it, when I came across Mitch Joel at Podcamp Toronto 2006 (I think) he was probably in the earlier stages of his Social Media career (cause Social Media itself wasn’t that much older). Maybe I will be able to say “I kne...

a new day, a new blog
My oh my but this ISa new day with a new administration leading the U.S. AND a new White House blog unveiled today. These politicians do know their social media. Let’s see what happens. Bookmark to:...
podcamp toronto 2009
I hope, if you’re going to be within 2-3 hours of Toronto on February 21-22, you’ll stop by Rogers Communications Centre at Ryerson University for Podcamp Toronto 2009. To learn about social media at any level (newbie, intermediate, pro) and mayb...
thanks, doc!
My thanks to my fellow voice over talent Doc Phillips who has taken his Speak Easy blog one step further by publishing his favorite motivational and education blog posts from other voice over blogs, including voxmarketising. Check out his post here t...
know your facebook
Facebook has been on my mind this weekend as certain audio’connell siblings have dipped their toe into the water, took a look around the platform, drank a bit of the Facebook kool-aid – whatever. So in my early morning reading, I came across this...
blog dump
Some fairly discombobulated but enjoyable reading from my blog reader today with thanks to all the authors. Even I know I don’t always say THE most interesting things everyday…variety is the spice of life. Computers link directly with the brain (...
podcamp toronto 2009
Got word last night off the wiki from Connie Crosby that Podcamp Toronto is set for February 21 and 22 again at Ryerson University (a great set up for the camp). Now I am pretty sure already that some how that date could interfere with my son’s...
too much rss can make you blind
I was recently feeling overwhelmed, being unable to get my head around my personal organization and time management. It’s ultimately a good thing because it was my internal manager telling me to stop, drop and re-tool. The main culprit of my co...
