Voice Over Training Podcasts from The Voice Over Coach.
Love him or hate him - the coach has some crazy opinions and he's happy to share them.
Below are links to my podcasts, which in my opinion, are very real, unscripted diatribes about anything that happens to come across my platter. They're fun, sometimes angry, sometimes ponderous and almost always very, very long. However, they're real. No bull, no scripts, no reading into a microphone and hoping you'll listen. It's information which is there for the taking. Take it or leave it.
You'll either come away from them with new knowledge, or you'll come away from them with a bitter distaste for me. One thing is for sure... There will be no doubt about who I am and how I do things. Here are some of the more flowing quotes about my podcasts...
"He's the Bobby Knight of voice over coaching..."
"And, the podcaster tends to get into long rambling rants, Very, Very annoying."
"It contains some useful warnings, but oh, my GOD, it rambles. Rambles. Oh, and by the way, it rambles."
I can't say I disagree with these reviews, because I do ramble, professionally, and I quite like the one about Bobby Knight.
But it's a safe bet the other two came from people who don't get it when someone can open up a microphone for an hour with no scripts and talk about something they know, have original thoughts, not read from a piece of paper and get this... not kiss ass an patronize and try to use big words to sell you things at the end of every show.
They're here for you to be the judge... No one else says the things I do...
The New Voice Over Talent Directory is Up...
This is the last of the MineWurx Studio Podcasts - We're now moving on to The Voice Over Coaching Podcast, or some other witty something like that.
We discuss the new voice over talent directory and some of the details about joining.
We also go over more people who are taking advantage of hopefuls in this industry and we cover some of our, shall I say, differences in philosophy. For language and content this one has been flagged as NSFW or Family. So if you have issues with stuff like that don't listen. And certainly don't send me emails complaining about it.
