One of the scariest aspects of being a voice actor in modern times is AI, artificial intelligence, synthetic voice, and text to speech. Most of the discussion has been around the question of, Well, what happens when AI steals our work?  The scarier question to me is what happens when A.I. steals your voice?  Joining us from Dublin is the Irish voice actor and author Remie Michelle Clarke with her story of how her voice was stolen directly by artificial intelligence and the difficulties she's had in pursuing the people that have taken her voice. A special thank you to Paul Strikwerda for helping connect me with Remie. Thank you, sir! _____________________________ ▶️ Watch this video next: https://youtu.be/4Pqtu7JUjnE Resources mentioned in this episode: NAVA (National Association of Voice Actors) Synthetic/AI Voices Voice Actor Resources: https://navavoices.org/synth-ai/ai-voice-actor-resources/  This page includes a template AI voice contract, Synthetic Voice/AI rider, a glossary of terms, and more.

What if we could really change how the P2Ps work? What if we could have a real dialogue with the people that matter, the decision makers, the policy makers, at the online casting sites? What if we could make actual recommendations directly to those people at the very top of the pay 2 plays? It's one thing to have an online monologue to someone in such a position, as we did to David Ciccarelli of Voices. But it's another thing entirely to be able to ask questions of and make honest recommendations to the CEO of a major P2P platform. As it happens, just such an opportunity is coming up. My friend and colleague, Paul Strikwerda will be leading an interview with Rolf Veldman, the CEO of Voice123 at VO Atlanta 2023.

Paul Strikwerda is a voice over artist. You may have heard is voice in commercials and other projects. Now, he is also a stroke survivor. The stroke he suffered in his voice over booth engaged multiple primal fears (except for spiders) and is one of the more terrifying I've heard.  I'll save the details for the interview itself. The genesis of this episode is that I wanted an answer to the question, "Is voiceover a good career choice for a stroke survivor contending with disabilities?" I was referred to Paul, by Anne Ganguzza of the VO Boss podcast (another great resource for the VO field), and in this episode Paul and I discuss that question and so much more. If you don't see the audio player below, visit http://Strokecast.com/MSN/VoiceOver to listen to the conversation. Click here for a machine-generated transcript Who is Paul Strikwerda? Paul Strikwerda was born and grew up in the Netherlands. He studied music in college and began a career in radio after graduation. Life eventually took him to the United States and an unexpected series of events led him down the path of a voice over artist. Paul wanted to do more than read scripts for clients. He wanted to help other artists in the VO field. He would go on to write "Making Money In Your PJs: Freelancing for Voice-Overs and Other Solopreneurs"* and expand his blog on NetherVoice. He offers an unvarnished view of what life in the VO field is like and what newcomers need to watch out for. For those who want to grow their skills as voice over artists and voice over business people (you have to be both to succeed) Paul offers coaching programs. As he says on https://www.nethervoice.com/coaching/: It's not enough to be outstanding. You need to stand out. Voice overs are the invisibles of the entertainment industry. Competition is increasing, and clients aren't going to book you if they don't know you exist. You need a plan to put you on the map, so clients can find you, hear you, and hire you. Let me be your visibility coach, and help you attract the jobs you're dreaming of doing. What is the Voice Over field? The Voice Over industry is one most people don't think about, but it is one that we've encountered throughout our lives. Every time we hear a narrator on TV or listen to an audio book or hear a corporate voice mail system or listen to the introduction to this show (Thanks, Tim!) or complete eLearning with a person speaking, or learn about pancakes, we are listening to a voice over artist at work. https://youtu.be/FEelYk8y_O4 The breadth of the field is fascinating. The industry itself is facing some growing pains with technology and the increase in computer generated voices. There are some growing pains there. Technology has also led to a democratization of the field in some respects. Microphones and computers for editing have gotten cheaper and more widely available. Home studios are within reach of more people. Some of the same technology trends that drive podcasts drive voice over work Lots  of people toy with the idea of becoming voiceover artists so, especially at the entry level, there is a ton of competition. As Paul explains, though, it takes a lot more to be successful than the ability to speak into a microphone. A voice over artist needs to be a business person. The need to sell their services. The need to audition well. They need to write contracts and collect from clients. They need to have a handle on the assortment of ways they can license their voice. And they still need to act and edit and produce. If you are thinking about a career in voice over, and you're will to do all the stuff that goes along with it,  Paul's coaching services might be a good fit How does AFib cause stroke? The heart is made up of four chambers. Blood normally flows from the upper right to the lower right to the lungs to the upper left to the lower left and then on to the rest of the body. Moving it efficiently from one place to the next requires a precise rhythm -- the lub-dub of the human heart beat. When someone has AFib, or atrial fibrillation, it means the rhythm isn't quite right sometimes. Maybe different parts of the heart are out of sync, or part vibrates too fast or the heart rhythm itself fluctuates in an odd way. When this happens, blood doesn't always leave the chamber it's in when it's supposed to. And when blood pools or collects in the heart when it shouldn't, it can start to coagulate. It forms clots. Then when the heart beats one of those clots that formed due to AFib can shoot off to another part of the body. If that clot makes it to the brain and gets stuck in a blood vessel, you have an ischemic stroke. So how do you treat it? Well, first you have to find it. Since it is irregular, that's not always easy. Some people will get a surgically installed monitor that will track their heart rhythm for a couple years. Others (like me) will have to wear a device like a Zio patch for two weeks to look for abnormalities. Bill wearing a Zio patch to check for irregular heart rhythm. If doctors find or strongly suspect AFib affects a patient, they have a few treatment options. Blood thinners, or anticoagulants are one option. These medicals like Eliquis and Xarelto are more aggressive at stopping clots than antiplatelet medication like aspirin or Plavix (Clopidogrel). They require additional blood tests and monitoring and put the patient at greater risk of bleeding because that's exactly what their supposed to do. Paul had an ablation therapy. Doctors either freeze or burn some small amount of heart tissue. This disrupts the way electricity flows through the heart, which helps normalize the heartbeat. It's a fascinating technique and eliminated the problem for Paul. You can read more about the procedure from Johns Hopkins or from the Mayo clinic. Some people, if their unusual rhythm is too slow, may need a surgically implanted pacemaker to keep the heart moving enough blood quickly enough. As more people become aware of AFib and research continues, the future of treatment may change dramatically. In defense of social media A lot of people claim to hate social media. The conversation is even louder in December 2022 with Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. Hate speech, privacy concerns, online bullying, the growth of influencer culture, and more have all made it fashionable to hate on social media. And there are a lot of problems with it. By allowing folks with fringe and extremist views to connect and validate one another's views, it has likely allowed those views to become more common. I'm not defending that. That same mechanism, though, has allowed people with disabilities to find other like-minded folks. Stroke and other disabling conditions are isolating. Appearances of disabled people in media are still rare. After stroke, many folks leave their jobs, removing another vector for social experience. Friends and family members may pull back from stroke survivors either because the survivor is no longer able to participate in the same activities or because they are uncomfortable around a person with disabilities. Or because the survivor is a living reminder that they could find themselves in the same situation. And disabilities themselves make social connection hard. Aphasia impacts conversation. Mobility challenges make it harder to go someplace to meet someone. Vision or equilibrium challenges may make it unsafe to drive. That's to say nothing of the assortment of cognitive, sensory processing, emotional, and fatigue related challenges a survivor may live with. And then we can look beyond the stroke world to our neuro cousins in the MS and TBI communities, and beyond that into the broader world of people with disability. Despite the billion+ disabled people in the world, it's easy to feel the despair of feeling alone. Social media changes that. Or at least helps with it. People with disabilities are able to connect with one another across the street and around the world. There is power in the shared experience -- of finding someone going through a similar experience. There's power and hope in being able to support each other -- to build on the success of others to drive our own recovery and that of others in the community. To be able to raise a voice and say, "This is my hidden reality!" To be able to see that the way someone else treats us may not be right and to have that reinforced by people all over the country. There's power in giving everyone a literal or metaphorical voice. To demonstrate to the world that we're here and we're not going anywhere. Whether it's on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, IRC, MUDDs, Discord, YouTube, or whatever, we can leverage those platforms to empower us to live our best lives. Or to share a simple message of support. Look for communities that resonate with you in a supportive fashion. Follow hashtags like these to start and try others to build your community: #Stroke #StrokeAwareness #StrokeRecovery #BrainInjury #LifeAfterStroke #Aphasia #Mindset #CripTheVote #Disability Social media allows us to connect and that connection is so important to getting more out of life. BEFAST & AHORA Raising voices in social media isn't just about supporting our own lives; it's about saving others. And you can help save other's lives by sharing the stroke warning signs far and wide. We know time is essential. We also know that over the past 20 years or so there have been tremendous changes in stroke treatment - new ways to save lives and reduce the severity of disability. That, of course, assumes treatment begins as soon as possible. And to make that happen, people need to recognize that a stroke is happening and contact emergency services immediately. So share the stroke warning signs in English and Spanish far and wide -- BE FAST and AHORA. And if you have the warning signs to share in another language, share those, too. June Hawkins writing workshop June Hawkins is a stroke survivor in Canada helps stroke survivors connect (or reconnect) with their creativity through the power of writing. Her program is called, "With a Stroke of my Pen" and with her cofacilitator, writing prompts, and exercises she helps other survivors explore their world in writing. The next cohort starts soon. To learn more, visit http://www.withastrokeofmypen.ca/ Hack of the Week There are two things that Paul found critical to going through recovery and living with disability. The first is to have a dedicated partner who can advocate for you. It's not easy to navigate the healthcare industry with sudden, unexpected brain damage, and a supportive partner makes a huge difference. Finding the right person to be your partner in life, of course, is not always the easiest task. The other element which may be easier to cultivate is to develop a "stubborn positivity." The right action-oriented attitude is what gets us developing the right mindset for recovery. It helps us expect to get better and it drives us to do the work -- the exercises, the metal health care, the repetitions, etc. -- that will ultimately help us drive the neuroplastic change in the brain that empowers recovery.

When it comes to voice over rates, one of the biggest questions is, "why negotiate rates"? Negotiating voice over rates is tricky because most new voice actors don't know how to negotiate proper voiceover rates. The first question is, why is it so hard for voice actors to set proper pricing, and I think there are two reasons for this.

Behind the soundproof walls of his studio, his life hung in the balance. Dutch voiceover legend Paul Strikwerda, solopreneur of “Nethervoice”, a multilingual voiceover coaching provider and blogger came face-to-face with death when a stroke attacked without warning. The husband, father and author of “Making Money in your PJs- Freelancing for voiceovers and other solopreneurs” was never guaranteed to live. His wife's instincts and the power to believe saved Paul's life. In this podcast, Paul delves into how belief anchored his family through several medical scares, including his daughter's brain tumor and his wife's multiple sclerosis. His walk from paralysis to purpose has led him to resurrect his emotional self, be kinder, more patient, and use his voice to help others in life.

My special guest today is a true talent, one of a kind guy! He's a voice actor, blogger, coach and so much more. Paul Strikwerda otherwise known as Nethervoice - came to the United States over 20 years ago and has since established a thriving voiceover business with happy clients and over 40,000 people that subscribe to his blog. He speaks at conferences, gives interviews and has written one of the most successful books on voice overs and freelancing. Paul is Dutch but has a neutral English accent which is very appealing to a global audience. He's one of very few native Dutch voice over pros working in North America. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul a few years ago at one of Uncle Roy's barbeques! Ha! I feel like I have met a lot of people there over the years!!! Anyway, I remember meeting Paul because we he is so kind and knowledgeable. He has a direct approach and is not afraid to tell his opinion. But I really appreciate that actually and I think a lot of people do. In Part 1 of this interview, Paul offers tons of valuable VO industry advice that you won't want to miss!!! Check out his blog at Nethervoice Home Page and be sure to tune in next time for Part 2 of this great interview!

Making Money In Your PJs is the new book by author and veteran voice actor Paul Strikwerda. Subtitled Freelancing for voice-overs and other solopreneurs, it offers a unique look at what it takes to be and stay in business as a voice actor or other type of creative freelancer. Voice acting is hot at the moment, and year after year, thousands of hopefuls are led to believe that they can build a lucrative career as a narrator using a cheap microphone, a computer, and an internet connection. Others invest a hefty sum in expensive studio equipment, coaching, and demos, only to get nowhere. Making Money In Your PJs takes a revealing look into this booming industry where many are invited and very few are chosen. Strikwerda: “Every day, I see aspiring voice-overs treat their new dream job as a hobby and fail miserably. It’s not as easy as it seems. People need more than pleasant pipes to make a living as a voice actor. They have to have business acumen in order to succeed. It’s the stuff nobody teaches you in voice-over school that can make or break a career. That’s precisely the focus of this book.” “Making Money In Your PJs” covers topics such as: – Transforming a hobby into a profession – Successfully promoting a business online and offline – Turning potential customers into clients – Pricing services for profit – Getting paid on time, every time – What to do when business is slow – How to stand out from the competition These are topics that not only voice actors need to address. They apply to practically anyone who is self-employed. Although this book is written from the perspective of a voice-over, any solopreneur will benefit from chapters on freelancing, marketing, handling clients, and money management. Making Money In Your PJs is neither a get-rich-quick by doing voice-overs guide, nor a step-by-step course that will take the reader from voice-over novice to top talent in three days. Rather, it is a practical, personal, and often humorous account of what life is like behind the mic. It’s written with insight, intelligence, and a healthy dose of realism. The sheer depth, breadth, and quality of the information on the pages of Making Money in Your PJs makes this book an obligatory resource in your library of voice-over and freelance success-building. More info and free sample chapters at: http://MakingMoneyIn YourPJs. Born and educated in The Netherlands, writer, coach and voice-over professional Paul Strikwerda started working the mic for Dutch national  public radio at the age of 17. After a career in international broadcast journalism (BBC, Radio Netherlands), he became a sought-after media coach. In 1999, Strikwerda moved to the United States where he founded Nethervoice, providing voice-over services in his native Dutch, neutral English, and sometimes even in German. In his studio in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, Paul records audio books, videos, virtual tours, commercials and documentaries for major clients on all continents. His weekly blog deals with issues facing voice-overs and other solopreneurs, and is read by thousands of people every month. Previous books include “Building a Vocal Booth on a Budget,” and “Boosting your Business with a Blog.” For Paul’s blog, audio samples and more, please visit nethervoice.com.

Published on May 19, 2014 Guests: Paul Strikwerda, VO and author of “Making Money in your PJ's” George on audio processing Dan on the best mic for VO 0:02:30  Next week: no show.  George tells about his head wound.   0:03:14  Dan shares the mustache gifts he gets and a non-mustache gift he got. 0:05:07  Thanking the sponsors!  Harlan Hogan, John Florian at Voiceover Xtra, and Edge Studio. 0:05:43  Dan's Tip of the Week—what microphone is “best” for VO?  Which ones aren't good?   Among those: SM57—good for guitar amps and snare drumheads, not live VO.  You don't sound real talking half an inch from someone's eardrum. 0:07:32  The RE20 is great for radio, but not the best for VO.  We take a side trip into Dan's radio history.   0:09:08  Tip of the Week: In your personal studio, the less optimum a mic you need to use.  Without a professional booth, don't spend a lot of money on a mic.  A mic between $200 and $350 will work if you use it right, it will capture YOU. 0:10:05  Dan shows his mice -TLM 103.  It's extremely sensitive and not so good for noisy days.  And it's $1000 -E100S.  Great mic.  Not expensive. -Harlan Hogan's VO1A.  Good price and good sound. -Sennheisser 416 shotgun mic.   Anyone of along with the Perception Series, will fill the bill. 0:12:28  While any mic can fill the bill, you have to know how to use it and interpret copy.  Our job is present our voices to potential clients in the way they want to hear them.   0:13:26  George joins the discussion.  It's the mic you already have (unless you have a bad sounding or broken mic).  Nobody will know what mic you use.  Nobody needs to see where or how the sausage is made.  Keep your audio chain simple.  Don't overthink it. 0:15:15 End of rant. 0:16:04  Break 0:17:42  They're back.  Dan has Studio Suit in the basement.  Buy it so Dan can clear the extra bed he needs in June when it mom visits.   0:19:07  George's “Whittam's World Episode 18” on audio processing.  George describes applying processing filters. 0:28:19  George is back.   0:28:59  Break 0:30:20  They're back with Paul Strikwerda.  Paul tells about his journey in writing books on voice-over.  Paul's website: http://www.nethervoice.com/ Paul appeared on EWABS in Episode 30 (Dec. 4, 2011; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lty2kDbnpFA) and Episode 58 (July 29, 2012; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gUjQrchEj8) 0:36:30 Paul wanted something with staying power.  He wondered if he should write about being a freelancer or being a VO actor.   0:39:00  He wanted a book about how to be a professional not just for VO actors only, but for all freelancers.   0:39:40  Dan comments that people don't know what it means to be an entrepreneur anymore.  Paul replies that people know a lot about their art, but not about being in business and marketing yourself. 0:41:40  Dan asks Paul what makes his book different.  Paul has developed his writing style from 4 years of blog work.  He's found it isn't effective to tell people what to do.  But, if they hear stories about other people, that's more digestible.    0:43:34  Dan asks Paul for a sample reading.  Paul also shows his colored computer glasses.   0:44:50  Paul reads a story from the book about the “Most Obnoxious Man in Voice-Over.”   0:47:10  Paul ends the great story and discussion ensues.   0:48:56  Dan asks where can you can get the book.  It's available for download devices, Amazon, and from http://makingmoneyinyourpjs.com/   0:49:28  Paul has a contest.  Buy the book in the next 3 weeks, take a photo of themselves with the book, and send it to Paul to win some prizes, including getting interviewed for Paul's blog. 0:50:00  George asks when the audiobook version will be available.  Paul thinks in about a month. 0:51:15  VO is hot right now, and this book gives insights into that.  Some people are reading the book together including people in other fields. 0:54:24  George asks Paul how he learned an American English accent. 0:56:16  Harlan Hogan commercial. 0:58:20  Back with Paul.  How do you say his name? 0:59:14  Dan asks Paul about his blog 7-8 months ago about pay-to-play sites.  Paul has tried them all and now has said good bye to them all, including Bodalgo.  He thinks they have cheapened the industry.  We've traded convenience for low pay and low quality.  He can't price for profit at the pay-to-plays.  They're for the hobbyist.  You have to do a lot more for a lot less.  There are good things about them too.   1:03:50  Paul wrote a blog post, “Leaving voices.Com.”  He plays bad auditions he heard on just one day.  George talks about how so many people don't get additional coaching.   1:05:40  Paul comments that there's so much information online.  Ignorance is no excuse.   1:06:41  Dan thinks the whole business is going through a major shift in the next year or two.  Paul talks about crowdsourcing and how he used it to design his book cover.  Paul said if pay was better and quality control was better. 1:08:41  Dan asks about Paul's new studio.  Paul describes it.  He wrote a book, “Building a Booth on a Budget,” available only on his site.  Paul won his mic at http://recordinghacks.com/   He goes on to talk about his gear. 1:11:57  George shows an example of Paul's new interface, the Audient ID 22.  http://audient.com/products/id22  Paul talks about his use of the interface, and his previous preamps. 1:14:50  Questions from the audience: Where are your main customers in the U.S., Europe or both? A: Sixty percent are in Europe, 30-40 pct in the US.  He also has clients in Egypt and Oman. He gets up early! 1:16:04  Q: What do you think of crowd sourcing at VoiceBank.com.  A: Paul wishes it were different.  He'd rather get work through an agent, like Eric Shepard, to get his top five.  Sorting through the 100 auditions crowdsourced is a waste of time, Paul says. 1:18:43  Break 1:19:28  They're back.   1:19:48  Announcements: Dan asks George what's up with Joe Cipriano is doing with BSW.  Joe is working on a way to get more 416s in people's hands.  You get a Sennheisser 416 and Joe's book, “Living on Air,” for $799.   See more at: http://alturl.com/urpgc   Buy from BSW and use promo code: Livingonair. 1:22:14   Thanks to the donors.  To donate go to http://www.ewabs.net/ and click on the DONATE button, in the upper left of the screen. 1:23:10  George is on a “Twitter-chat” on Wednesday at 5 p.m. Pacific, 8 p.m. Eastern.  Tweet with the hashtag, #ACX, to ask a question or @VOSTUDIOTECH.COM.   1:24:20  There's a YouTube Channel for EWABS.  https://www.youtube.com/user/ewabsshow  where you can see all 144 episodes! 1:25:00 EWABS Essentials—a pile of short tidbits from EWABS.   1:25:50  No show next week for Memorial Day.  The chat room will still be there. 1:26:28  On June 9, Debra Deyan and Colleen Marlow from the Deyan Institute  http://www.deyaninstitute.com/home.html .  They offer classes for audiobook narration.
