We’ve linked to the new voice over talent directory over at our other web site and we’re off and running getting it up and running. It’s in a very raw form right now – but it’s working and is certainly at a point where people can stop by and take a look. A lot [...] Want to learn more about me than I may have ever shared before on the internet. Voice Over Talent Dave Courvoisier ( can’t believe I spelled that correctly on the first pass without looking) conducted a very lengthy interview with me for his blog. I wanted to say thank you to him for doing such a bang-up job on it. With as much as I tried to make myself look like a putz, he wouldn’t allow it. For a long time I have discussed the idea of voice over positioning with a lot of non-industry related people when I would get caught up in explaining to them the intricacies of what I do every day, and how most of my daily, monthly and yearly attempts at self improvement in the industry were more related to positioning than they were to trying to have the best of everything. In a nutshell, I look at the things I do when it comes to studio and performance improvements as nothing more than working toward being properly positioned to take advantage of opportunity when it decides to knock. I know many of us who have been doing this for years, have been “positioning” ourselves for success in the same way that I am writing about, but some of us may not have looked at it like this before. So I decided to share it because it popped up in another conversation this morning and I began to wonder why I had never written about it before. Continue reading Positioning for Voice Over Success – Are you ready when opportunity knocks? I guess I’ve burned one too many bridges over at the Yahoo voice over group . Apparently it’s ok if every voice over seminar in the world gets announced over there, but god forbid if I try to mention anything for free to the voice over community members who make up their membership. I’ve tried twice to post this over there, but the gatekeepers obviously have an axe to grind. Pretty much like the gatekeepers at other business directories, who for years have refused to list this site as a resource for voice over talent in their directory. Thanks guys. Keep up the good fight. Maybe one day I’ll quit and go away. Continue reading Here’s what they won’t post on the Yahoo Voice Over Group  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. |
