Habla Espanol

I'm presently deep in study of Spanish. I have tons to learn and it won't be accomplished in short order but I'm determined and dedicated. My goal is to be fluent by years end.
To me fluent means being able to communicate easily with hispanics who are unable to speak English. I also expect that this new ability will also increase my marketability in the voice over industry.
Regrettably, I've not had a job in awhile but I'm still auditioning often and I'm presently taking a voiceover class. I'll share that with you after Monday, February 23rd, my last of three classes. So, until next time..

Broadening Horizons

Everything I do in this business has to do with increasing my opportunities to be successful. Well, now I've started something which I believe will give me a few new chances to survive in this business on my voice alone.
Are you bilingual? I've wanted to be for years and years. This year I plan to be. I've purchased a software and books to study Spanish. My goal is to increase the demand for my services. Whether its translation or voice I will be available by this years end to provide some of those services. So you heard it here first. I'll keep you apprised..

Certified!

I'm finally certified! So what does that mean? I can prove to prospective clients who want a voice talent who not only have Source-Connect but who can be counted on to have a reliable system. A fast enough broadband, appropriately configured network, and proficiency in the use of the Source-Connect program are all very important in performing a job with that software. My recently earned certification says I can now do that.

That is one victory but I'm already in another battle.
I have Skype and I'm able to perform recordings using Skype as my phone patch. The client can hear me as I record and thus can critique my performance. The problem arises when the client wants to hear a spot immediately after I've recorded it. I'm trying to find the best, least expensive way to accomplish this and I'm not perfectly satisfied with my proposed solutions. One way compromises the audio quality of the playback and the other imposes a delay (not outrageous but potentially several minutes) before the client can hear the spot.

I'm still working this and I'll keep you apprised of my final solution.
