Tweep @RachelsVoice pointed out this great little bit that the guys at Rain Recording also tweeted out on writing great scripts for voiceover. Excellent tips you may want to take to heart in your own budding copy writing career. And no, it isn’t meant to beat up folks over all the…interesting copy we have performed over the years. More a reminder that everything can be improved, from our performance to the copy it is based on.

Another Faffcon attendee! Karen wrote this blog post back in June about how she uses her iPad in her studio. Green efforts + ease of use = voiceover winner! Cut down on printing, save paper, and scroll silently. My only issue with it (and I have used tablets for the same purpose) is there seems to be no app that allows you to mark up a script easily, write in edits, etc. Perhaps David H. Lawrence XVII’s Rehearsal app? In any case, it is worth a look. Thank you Karen!

David Brower dishes on the huge value of referrals, how to dig them up, and how to capitalize on them for the long term.

A voice artist I follow on Twitter, Lindsay Abbott, writes about the growth of voice in the e-learning industry. I have been finding some success in the space in the last few months as well.

iPad 2: thinner, faster, HDMI out, a white version, dual cameras, iMovie and GarageBand. The mobile platform for voice artists may have just arrived.

I love this book. Period. The amount of information gathered in one place for a voice artist is wonderful. And the fact that you can contact co-author Jeffrey Fisher with questions is really an excellent bonus. I don’t know if it has been updated since it was printed a couple of years ago, since there are some things that have changes in the intervening time (particularly about USB microphones), but it is a book that should be on every home voiceover artist’s shelf.
