This isn't your average industry meetup — Get Outta Your Booth! is designed around accessibility and community. With just 100 attendees, sessions led by working pros, a six-lane bowling alley, karaoke socials, and zero profit motive, it's built to bring voice actors together without the pressure or price tag of larger events. Why voiceover is about more than “having a good voice” How to go pro from your home studio — no LA or NYC required Building community in a solo-heavy career The scary reality of AI voice theft — yes, it's happening What most beginners get wrong (and how to do it right) Learn more + get tickets → getouttayourbooth.com Listen to the full episode → lehighvalleywithlovemedia.com/podcast/getouttayourbooth Watch Episode https://youtu.be/1_E-uufQJl4———-www.lvwithlove.com Thank you to our Partners!

Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company Get Outta Your Booth! — A Voiceover Conference with Community (and Karaoke) at Its Core “It's a crock pot career. It's not a drive-through.” — Jen Taphoney That quote pretty much says it all. In this companion piece to the latest episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, we dive into the story behind Get Outta Your Booth!, a voiceover conference built on community, accessibility, and a whole lot of real-world wisdom. Hosted by George Wacker, the episode features co-organizers Mike Cunningham and Jen Taphoney, who share how the idea for the event came to life—and why it's so different from your typical industry gathering. Listen to the Episode https://lehighvalleywithlovemedia.com/podcast/getouttayourbooth Conference Info https://www.getouttayourbooth.com From Pottsville Attic to Microsoft Explainers Jen Taphoney's journey started in a 1928 house in Schuylkill County. After years in radio, she built a studio in her attic and began producing commercials for $100 a pop. “When I left the radio station, I still had clients who wanted me on their commercials,” she says. “So I put a studio in my attic… sound treatment was super awesome. Yeah.” She's since built a thriving VO career with clients like Microsoft. “They do a little explainer thing. I've been working with them for eight years now. They just send me the copy.” Getting In (and Getting Real) Mike Cunningham's path to voiceover started in the military and IT. Then the pandemic hit. “My friend was like, ‘Why don't you do voiceover?' The pandemic is happening. There's nothing else to do,” he recalls. He joined a program, trained, and stuck with it—turning his home setup into a launchpad for commercial work, video games, and narration. “It kind of grew into an obsession out of spite… I'm going to do it. I'm going to make it work. And I don't care what it's going to take.” Why Beginners Struggle “A lot of people come in and say, ‘My friend told me I have a good voice,'” Jen says. “That's not enough.” “There's a certain amount of instinct involved,” Mike adds, “but it takes training. And you have to be prepared to not hear back at all.” “You don't often get, ‘Sorry, we went with somebody else,'” Jen explains. “You just have to keep going. Audition after audition, day after day, year after year.” Mike sums it up: “Most people start out trying too hard. Just be you.” AI, Stolen Voices, and the Future of the Industry Both guests have strong words about AI's impact on the industry. “It undermines our entire industry,” Jen says. “Whether it's music production or art or writing or voiceover… it's not human.” Mike's voice was actually cloned by a foreign studio and used in a live service video game—without his consent. “I heard it. I'm like, ‘I didn't say that,'” he says. “The falsification of humanity is not something I'm a fan of.” So What Is Get Outta Your Booth? The conference is designed to be small (100 people max), affordable, and stress-free—held at SOKOL Club in Bethlehem, a venue with a bar, shuffleboard, and a bowling alley. “There's no pressure,” Mike says. “If you want to bowl all day, go bowl all day. If you want to sit and drink, do that. If you want to watch sessions and learn something, do that too.” The sessions cover: VO genres and niches Branding your VO business in Canva Making vocal efforts How to construct your own sound panel “We're not trying to make money,” Mike adds. “Everything we get goes right back into the event—for food, prizes, drinks. That's the point.” Why It Matters This episode isn't just about voiceover—it's about building something that helps people connect. “We're all stuck in little booths,” Mike says. “It's a lonely kind of existence.” Jen adds, “Having that community to connect with and ask questions instead of trying to figure it out on your own… it makes such a big difference.” George wraps it up: “It's really cool that you're doing this. If somebody had just given me this piece of advice a couple years ago, it would've saved me months.” Mike replies, “Or thousands of dollars.”

A small-town murder in rural Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania is examined by author Taj Magruder in his Milford House Press debut, In the Day of Trouble. On March 17, 1934, a woman named Susan Mummey was shot and killed by a known assailant. Her murder was due to her being known as the Witch of Ringtown Valley, which Magruder covers in detail for the first time. For years Mummey was rumored to practice magic from her isolated farm home, and her battles with family, neighbors, and the law were known. When detectives extracted a confession from her assailant, the revelations that followed not only shocked the county, but far beyond. As quickly as the excitement and interest in Mummey's murder and what she was alleged to have done grew, it faded away. Magruder's research into the historical record, press reports, and insights from survivors of those involved has resulted in a fascinating look at a strange time in American history. Magruder examines Mummey's life, and her connections to "powwow," the Pennsylvania Dutch form of mysticism, faith healing, and spirituality. He also looks into how Mummey came to be misunderstood, the mental disturbance of her killer, which may make the reader examine their own selves. A Baltimore native, Taj Magruder has worked in state and local government. A graduate of Penn State University with a degree in political science, he lives in the Greater Philadephia area with his cats, Benji and Roxie.

150 years later, there are still unknowns surrounding the "Molly Maguires" in Pennsylvania

Smart Talk

  With St. Patrick's Day coming up on Sunday, you'll be hearing a lot of stories about the Irish and many will be celebrating their Irish heritage. One of the most infamous periods in American history, and certainly here in Pennsylvania, involved the Molly Maguires. The Molly Maguires were a secret organization of Irish coal miners in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania in the late 1800s. Assassinations and violence grew throughout the area because of poor working conditions in the mines and ethnic tensions, leading to 16 killings. The Molly Maguires were thought to be responsible, and 20 supposed members were executed. Kevin Kenny is author of the 1998 book Making Sense of the Molly Maguires and a Professor of History and the Glucksman Professor in Irish Studies at New York University. On The Spark Wednesday, Kenny was asked who the Molly Maguires were,"Nobody agreed at the time. Historians haven't agreed since. I would say we need to avoid, two extremes. One is that they were simply savages who killed people for the sake of killing people. Believe it or not, that's how they were described in the 19th century. The other is that they were simply innocent victims because 20 men were hanged. But there were 16 other dead bodies on the stage at the end, and somebody killed them." Working conditions and ethnic differences were two factors that led to violence, especially after coal miners unionized,"Underground and mining communities are always difficult and harsh. It's brutal work. People died of miners lung in those days and they still do. I can tell you that the fatality rates and mining accidents were three times as high in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania as they were in Europe. It's really difficult work. There's also a division based on class, on ethnicity, because most of the skilled miners and this was really an elite workforce who built the mines and then freed the coal from the coalface. Most of them were were British, English or Welsh. Most of them were Protestant. Some of the skilled miners were Irish, but most of the laborers were Irish. It's a very important distinction between being a laborer and a miner because it comes down to this. The skilled miner will come in, come into the mine underground in the morning. They will free the coal from from the coal face by using powder to explode it out of the coalface. Then they'll go home. The Irishman will stay down underground all day loading the coal into carts. It's a different kind of work. The union brought the two sides together. The Molly Maguires represents the marginalized and the exploited." Kenny described what happened,"There were two waves of violence attributed to the Molly Maguires. The first was in the 1860s, during the Civil War. It was a mixture of rudimentary labor organizing and opposition to the military draft to conscription in the same category as the New York City draft riots, which are more famous. Six people were killed in that violence. Nobody was convicted at the time. The second wave of violence was in the middle of the 1870s, and it directly followed the destruction of the labor union. The labor union went down to defeat in the middle of the worst national economic depression the country had ever seen, and the 1870s the labor union, the WBA, was crushed. Into the vacuum stepped the Molly Maguires. Six more killings took place in the summer of 1875. That's the context in which it unfolds. (The victims were affiliated with the coal companies or those perceived to be enemies of the miners). The killings in the 1860s were traced retroactively to the Molly Maguires and a mopping up operation. They got the big wigs Alexander Campbell out in Carbon County, Patrick Hassler in Northumberland County, and John Kehoe in Schuylkill County. That's the context. And the explanation is Franklin Gowans attempted to secure monopoly control over the production and distribution of anthracite in the lower region, and eliminating all obstacles in his path." The suspected Molly Maguires paid for their alleged crimes with their lives -- justly or not as Kenny explained,"The 20 men who were hanged. My sense is, some were guilty as charged. Some were possibly innocent as charged. Others were probably guilty of other, crimes. But my position is that there were Molly Maguires and they killed people. It's a historian's question to try and explain, to try and make sense of what happened. I will tell you that, John Kehoe was the alleged ringleader of the whole Molly McGuire thing. He was based on Schuylkill County. He was active in politics. He was a marked man, and he was convicted in 1877 of the very first Molly McGuire killing, which took place in 1862." Kehoe was pardoned posthumously by Pennsylvania Gov. Milton Shapp in 1979.    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1911, witchcraft hysteria spread across central Pennsylvania, with dozens of superstitious citizens swearing out complaints against men and women accused of being hex or "pow-wow" doctors, but one bizarre story of Schuylkill County made newspaper headlines across the commonwealth. Alleging that her father, Howell Thomas of Tumbling Run, died as the result of a hex placed upon him, Mary Isabelle Thomas went to the press with a long list of peculiar incidents which she believed would prove that her father succumbed to the effects of black magic. Mary claimed these mishaps began immediately after a black cat showed up on the Thomas farm-- a cat that assumed monstrous proportions, growing to four feet in height before magically returning to its previous form. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paoddities/support
