Hey there, hero!I had a few questions as to what was up with the episode count, and it all boils down to me taking my own advice.I spent decades in broadcasting, and was one of the first podcasters ever. So…I wanted to take the time to tally all of the production from my first podcasts (the Online Tonight daily RealAudio-laden emails in 1996) through the rest of my daily syndicated days on AM, FM, XM and Sirius, on CNET, on Salem, on WGN/Chicago and WOR/New York, to the Secrets of Screen Acting Podcast, the podcasts I'd done for SAG-AFTRA, for commercial clients, the VO2GoGo podcast, this VOHeroes podcast and many more.It's been, and continues to be (in the audio AND video era) a blast.And I wanted to do a bit of celebrating.I ask you for the same contribution as last episode: what have you forgotten to give yourself credit for? What about your journey do you need to take a moment and have a moment? Let me know in the comments below.REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil:https://voheroes.com/celebrating-the-math-my-podcast-episode-count/#acting #voice #voiceover #onboarding #performance #productivity #tips #art #commerce #science #mindset #success #process #options #bestpractices #marketingThe VOHeroes Podcast is heroically built with: BuddyBoss (site platform and theme) LearnDash (learning management) DreamHost (website hosting) Screenflow (video recording/editing/production) eCamm Live (Facebook/YouTube Live production tool) Amelia (workout and event scheduling) MemberMouse (membership management) SamCart (ecommerce and affiliate platform) Aweber (email list management) GamiPress (gamification platform) Stackable Premium Blocks (advanced Gutenberg blocks) TextExpander (customer support content management) BuzzSprout (podcast management platform)
Hey there, hero!One of my fave peeps in the entire VO world is Anne Ganguzza.She was a coach when we were VO2GoGo, and she's gone on to become a force to be reckoned with with sites like VOPeeps and the VOBoss Podcast.And one of her superpowers is combining tech with VO. That's kind of in demand these days, not only to support her clients but also to deal with the perceived threat of artificial intelligence coming for our voices.We talk about synthetic voices in this episode, and she has a particularly unique take on the future.Once you've heard what she has to say...what say you?
