“Episode 10 of The VO Meter, Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

Hi everybody, and welcome to episode 10 of The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

So this is an interesting episode. We’re gonna actually revisit a topic that we’ve talked about before on the podcast, and that is acoustics. So we have our guest, Adil Aliev from Vocalboothtogo, coming up in about 20 minutes.

But I feel like acoustics is certainly deserving of another podcast. What about you, Paul?

Yeah, there’s never a reason to stop learning about acoustics in my mind, and I’m sure Adil will agree.

And it’s one of those things that you can easily make small adjustments to as you continue to improve your space and improve your sound.

And as we talked about, it’s probably the most important part of your audio recording chain, so it definitely is worth revisiting.

So, before we start talking about our topic for the day, why don’t you tell us what you’ve been up to, Paul? You’ve said you had some exciting announcements you wanted to share with our listeners.

So yeah, number one, I finished my longest audio book to date. It was just under nine[…]”

Hello, everybody, and welcome to episode nine of the VO Meter podcast.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress. We have a great episode coming back. We’re really excited to be back after a bit of a hiatus there.

And we are here with voice actor and coach, Julie Williams. So I’ve been following Julie online for several years now, and she has graciously agreed to be on the podcast and share her wisdom. And I’m really looking forward to it.

So moving on to current events. What have you been up to, Paul? It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve been able to do this.

Yeah, a couple of things. I finished up my longest audiobook to date. I was pretty proud of that.

It’s a 9.2-hour book, and that was pretty exciting. And let’s see, I just recently, in fact, yesterday, was found for the first time via Google search, at least to the best of my knowledge. I had gotten into some Google AdWords, if anyone has ever looked into that, and put some advertising money behind my website.

And it looks like there were some immediate results. Within[…]”

Welcome everybody to Episode 8 of The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

We are going to talk about lots of events today. We have a VO Meter shit coming up from Heather Masters, and of course, questionable gear purchases. But first, how are you today, Sean?

I’m doing all right. I’m actually in Seattle right now recording from a hotel room. So that’s why things, you might hear the occasional vacuum cleaner or siren outside.

But at least the acoustics problems are taken care of for the most part. I’m using the review unit that I got from Adil Aliyev for the carry-on vocal booth version 2.0. We can talk a little bit more about him later, but he’s actually working on a newer version of that.

Aside from having to deal with like less than ideal recording situation, I’m having a good time. What about you, Paul?

Things are good. Work every couple of days, if not every day. Couple of new agents signed with over the last couple of weeks.

That’s exciting.

Very nice.

And yeah, just plugging along as always.

Very cool.

So what’s in Seattle[…]”

“The VO Meter, Measuring Your Voice Over Progress. Hello, everybody, and welcome to Episode 7 of The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

I’m Paul Stefano.

And I’m Sean Daeley.

How are you today, Sean?

I’m okay. I’m getting over a flu or some kind of respiratory bug. My nephew, who’s about a year old now, he and his mom were sick the last time we visited.

Eventually, my dad got sick, and he passed it on to me. And, of course, by upper respiratory, I mean affecting my voice and my chest. So I haven’t really been able to do any serious auditioning in projects for almost two weeks.

It’s pretty frustrating.

Oh, that’s a bummer. I’m actually suffering a bit myself. My youngest son was really sick for a few days, and I picked up a trace of it.

I can’t tell if it’s getting worse or getting better. Either way, it’s not good.

Yeah, you just get that sense that something’s wrong, but you don’t know exactly what. And you’re like, do I need to go to the doctor?

I was in a tough spot because I had two books I was supposed to start, and[…]”

Hello everybody, and welcome to Episode 6 of The VO Meter.

Measuring Your Voice Over Progress.

Once again, I’m Paul Stefano, and joining me as always is co-host Sean Daeley. How you doing, Sean?

I’m doing great. How are you, Paul?

I am great. Just coming down from the holiday blissfulness of spending all the time with my family and friends and getting started with the new year.

Did you do anything special, or did you keep it pretty low-key this year?

We were lucky in that, well, when you’re parents and you don’t have to travel with kids, it’s always considered lucky to not have to travel. So we stayed home, my parents came to me, and we celebrated just at home and actually stayed home the whole week I was off and didn’t do any work the whole week.

That’s awesome.

Great time.

Yeah, I definitely put, like I didn’t do any work myself, I didn’t do any auditions or anything. I mean, it was an important time. My girlfriend came out from Hawaii.

She’s actually originally from Washington. Her job’s over there. So they were like, what[…]”

Hello, everybody, and welcome to Episode 3 of The VO Meter. We have a very special episode coming up where Sean and I are live at Mavo2016, the Mid Atlantic Voice Over Conference in Herndon, Virginia, just outside of DC. We’re going to play you some great interviews from the presenters there, some of the attendees, and some of the things that we got out of the conference.

So Sean, how did you enjoy Mavo2016?

I thought it was an amazing conference. It’s a smaller one, absolutely, but that’s one of its strengths. There were less than 100 people there.

There was a lot of… You were able to talk to the presenters. They were very accessible, and everyone had a really intimate, informative experience together, and I really enjoyed myself.

What about you, Paul? What did you get out of it?

Yeah, the same thing. It was my first conference, as I think I mentioned in one of the segments, and I really enjoyed it. I got to meet a lot of great people, some people I knew from online, some people I didn’t know at all, and I had some[…]”
