“The VO Meter… Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

So welcome to part 2 of our International Roundtable episode, and this time we’re featuring two special guests who due to scheduling had to join us at a different time, but also we want to give them enough time to talk about their experiences, and it just became so much content that we wanted to give it its own episode. So without further ado, here’s part 2 of our International Roundtable.

So got to admit, I’m a little intimidated to introduce our next two guests, because not only are they extremely talented and generous with their time and all of their experience and expertise, but one of them is actually my boss. Oh my God. That is the amazing and talented Cristina Milizia.

And then the other one has been just making incredible strides in the last couple of years in the voiceover industry in both the English and Spanish markets. He’s done animation, commercial, promo, in just all various forms and formats, the inimitable Christian Lanz. Hello, hello.

Cristina, thank you both for coming today.

You got it.

Delighted to be here. Thanks for having us.

Thank you. So for people[…]”

Hi, everybody, and welcome to Episode 24 of the VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

So today we’ve got a little bit of a… We’re going to do things a little bit differently. We’ve actually got a two-part episode this time because we got so many…

A two-parter.

Oh my gosh, To Be Continued. Didn’t you already hate that when, like, back when it was kind of a novel concept? I was just like, no, I have to wait a whole nother week.

Except it always meant something special.

Usually it did. I think it’s overdone now.

Probably, but let’s just go back in time and pretend like we had something cool to talk about.

All right. Well, we do. We do.

In fact, we had such an amazing panel of international voice over talent, some from the US, like Christina Melitia and Christian Lance, some from… or in Sophia Cruz, some from all over the world, like Simone Kliass and Humberto Franco… Oh, that’s right.

Thank you for pronouncing his name correctly. So, Simone’s all the way in Brazil and Humberto’s all the way in Portugal. And we[…]”

Hi, everyone, and welcome to Episode 23 of the VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

Today, we’re going to talk about public announcing. It’s a really interesting genre of voiceover. We’ve got a whole panel of guests who are talking about how they transition from public announce into voiceover, and sort of the challenges and pitfalls that that might actually have coming with it.

But before that, we’re going to talk about current events. So what’s been going on with you, Paul?

Well, I’ve got a few things going on. I just finished my first book for Find Away Voices. I completed it and uploaded the audio last night.

It’s my longest book to date. It’s 41 chapters, total of about nine hours. So that was interesting.

I hadn’t done one that long before. It was sort of intimidating at first, right? I looked at it and said, oh man, how am I going to tackle this?

But it was interesting. I found that once I got into it, it was sort of like when you’re reading a book and you really get absorbed in the story, I just couldn’t stop[…]”

Hi there, and welcome to our live stream from VO Atlanta, The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress. All right, how are you? And popping the mic as we do it.

And pop, pop, pop. So I wanna apologize, we all have the dreaded con voice today. It’s the third day of our con, but if you want any deep voice radio or audio book romance reads, now would be a good day to do that.

But right now, I’m here with my friend and coworker, David Toback and Paul Stefano. We’re on our third day of the VO Atlanta voiceover conference. How are you guys doing?

I am super excited. But I do have the lurch voice too. I think we did a little too much screaming at each other last night.

Actually, David and I were talking quite a bit last night. And that, in retrospect, was a bad idea. How are you, David?

I’m doing good, all considering.

You sound the best out of the three of us.

I’m starting to think it was an evil plan. He’s like, let’s make Paul talk, to make him sound terrible[…]”

Hi, everyone, and welcome to Episode 21 of The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

We’ve got lots of stuff to talk about. We’ve got a great episode coming up for you today. It’s a short month with lots of stuff to fill it in.

We’ve got a great guest with us today. It’s Tom Dheere. He’s a voice actor and marketing specialist and coach.

And he’ll be coming up with us in a few minutes. But first up, current events. Current events.

Right. Current events. So, things that are happening with me.

First of all, this past weekend, not VO related, but I’m celebrating because I’m a native Philadelphian. Is that the right way to say it? Yeah.

Philadelphian. I’m always thinking of Ron Burgundy when he says, San Diego, San Diego, Philadelphian. And my Eagles just won the big game.

So I’m super excited about that. Can I get a Fly Eagles Fly? Fly Eagles Fly on the road to…

No, nobody wants to hear that.

Too much sports in for this non-sporter.

You’re not a big fan, huh? Not a huge fan.

I appreciate the event, the[…]”

Hi, everybody, and welcome to Episode 20 of The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

We’ve got a great episode for you today. We’ve got an audiobook narrator and casting director from Blackstone Audio, Mr. Grover Gardner. He’s a great guest.

He’s got over 30 years of audiobook experience today. But before we get to him, we’ve got current events. So what have you been up to, Paul?

So much! Unbelievable things happening!

All right, Jerry.

All right. Well, does that… why I went with that?

Okay. Now, a couple of exciting things, actually. I booked my first job on Podalgo this week.

So for all your… It was for an e-learning piece for a company in Holland, Netherlands. And for those of you who have been asking or worrying about your results on pay to play, sometimes it takes a long time.

I was discussing with somebody on Facebook about how I’ve been with Podalgo for two years now, and this is my first job booked. So not the greatest shooting percentage. But I stay with them because I love the founder and owner, Armin Hirschheder, so much.

And[…]”
