Voices.com’s new Report On The Voice Over Industry 2009

Podcasters, as well as Voice Actors, need to download and read the new “Report On The Voice Over Industry 2009” as part of making their work and promotion plans for the coming year! I would go as far as to say that doing so is a must. David Ciccarelli is the President and CEO of Voices.com, the top online marketplace for Voice Actors to find Businesses actively seeking to hire Voice Talent. For the past few years, David Ciccarelli has been releasing this valuable report, for free. Knowledge is power; and knowledge for free, is free power for your Voice-Over and Podcasting careers.

But what does the state of the Voice Over business have to do with Podcasters, who don’t think about Voice-Overs as having anything to do with them? Then again, some Voice Actors might be thinking to themselves, “What do I care about Podcasting?”. Well, there are some stunning numbers all about Podcasting contained within the report from Voices.com! As a Voice Talent, who has been producing his own Podcasts since 2005 (I now have over 100 episodes of my various shows in iTunes), even I was surprised by some of the ways Podcasting and Voice-Overs are being tied together.

In addition, there are some exciting forecasts about the VO Audiobook market, and the Video Game Voice market. This pdf report is one that I have saved to my computer, as well as have printed out, to refer to repeatedly throughout 2009.

You can download David’s eye-opening Report On The Voice Over Industry 2009 at http://blogs.voices.com/voxdaily/2008/12/report_on_the_voice_over_industry-2009.html.

Another great site where you can read some excellent articles on the voice-over industry is VoiceOverExtra.com

Your Favorite Board Games For A Party?

While checking out Twitter this morning, we started talking about board games, and which ones people like best for a small gathering New Years Eve party (although I’m sure this applies to any extended-family party).

Basically, it is agreed that although Chess is an amazing game, it doesn’t quite have the right “zing” for a party atmosphere!

Our favorite board games to play on New Years Eve are Catch Phrase, Balderdash, and Compatibility.

What are your favorite board games for a family party (NY Eve, or otherwise)?

Thanks again for “Tuning In…”

2009 Is Coming; Bring It On!

While I had been focusing on Christmas, ever since Thanksgiving, it just now hit me that 2009 is just a day away! It’s hard to believe that it is here. I say, “bring it on”! 2008 has been a year of highs and lows. I am a traditionalist, in that this time of year always gets me looking ahead to the upcoming year (and beyond) and thinking about my plans, hopes, and dreams for the new year.

A few days ago, I created a thread in the GSPN.tv forums, at http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=2342.0, entitled “Hopes, Dreams, and Plans for 2009 (and beyond)”. I posted the following in that forum:

* Starting next week, I plan to get more organized. I need to de-clutter my garage, closets, and even my computer’s desktop and files.
* I need to re-up my efforts to eat better, eat less, drink less soda, drink more water, exercise more, and exercise better.
* I plan to stay focused on building my Voice-Over career, including my podcasts, my websites/blog, and staying active in the communities.
* I need to stay more balanced in all that I do.

I would like to add to that original forum post:
* I pray that I will be open to God’s leading in all aspects of my life in all the years to come.

Happy New Year!

Just a fun play on the Church Sign phenomenon

My buddy Cliff Ravenscraft posted a new blog entry this morning, talking about a possible new marketing campaign. It’s a fun play on the whole Church Sign phenomenon. He explains how you can create your own custom “Church Sign” at ChurchSignGenerator.com.

I thought I would play around and create one as well. Here it is.
