UPDATE: Due to time constraints and the volume of evaluation requests, we have been forced to change the way we conduct our voice over evaluations. For years we would spend hours online or in studio with prospective students, explaining every little element of the craft to them in an effort to help them [...]
It’s taken us a long time to get the “look” we wanted for our new workspace. We’ve had it up and running for some time, but the studio wasn’t shall we say, “client ready” due to the fact the booth and the other little construction projects were getting in the way of everything else. Now, we feel good about the overall look and feel of the studio and even though we still have a way to go to have everything up and complete, we’re at a point where we can switch on the lights and welcome people in. The studio, as always has been designed around multi-tasking and multi-functionality. There are 4 Windows workstations and one Mac. The Mac and a few of the windows boxes handle video projects. The Mac is also the primary graphics machine and is what we use for all of the office stuff. One Windows box handles ProTools, the other Adobe. One is an exclusive video encoder and the other is a file storage device.  The new MineWurx Studio Voice Over Talent Database This was the first week where we began to open the database up to new members. There’s really nothing to see. It’s just an upload process that allows people who wish to be a part of the early database testing to upload their demos and studio profiles. We also added a free voice talent directory for the people who took the time to upload their demos. Only a few have taken advantage of the free voice over talent directory so far, but that’s ok. It will continue to grow slowly. So far the membership is only 20% women, which is a number that needs to improve as time goes on. Of the women we do have there are some good versatile talent, but we certainly need more. Currently 50% of the membership base has 10 years or more of experience which is also a very good number. Talent specialties are across the board. There is a very good mixture of talent as far as range is concerned. It’s really just the numbers that matter now. Overall it was a good week for the system. The number of people who joined up was substantial and surprising. We only opened it up to different groups by special invitation, and will probably keep it invitation only for a while. If you haven’t come across our invitations so far send us a note at the studio with your credentials and we’ll tell you how to get on. |
