VOICE 2008 Headliners

VOICE 2008 will be here before you can say Pat Fraley. Organizers are stepping up plans, and new developments are happening daily.

Remember, May 15th, is the absolute (extended) deadline for early-bird sign-ups. Savings of $100 for meeting that deadline. Hey, it all adds up!

AFTRA is now signed-on as a major sponsor, and below, I’ve cut and pasted some of the latest info on presenters.

I met both Larry and MJ at last year’s conclave, and both have a LOT to offer.

Larry Maizlish
VO from a Talent Buyer’s Perspective

As president of Voices On Call, a voiceover
talent and production agency located in Los
Angeles, Larry is involved in hiring voice talent on a
daily basis. Projects booked cover a wide range from network television and
corporate productions to commercials and basic IVR and voicemail systems.

Larry started in voice at an early age with
singing on-camera at age 9. In his teens, he voiced multimedia presentations
including a few jobs with live sound effects for theater plays (no kidding,
live!). For several years he voiced a nationally known animatronic robotic bear
before making a decision to enter the business world. After years of retail and
service business ownership, with occasional VO and commercial spots squeezed in
now and then, he decided to combine his passions for business and voice
together and

Voices On Call was born.

With clients located next door, across the
country, and around the globe, Larry views the business from both the buyer’s
and talent’s side of the aisle, a unique perspective that brings the best of
both areas to the VO world.

So, what would you ask a voice client buyer? Bring
your questions. This is your time. Join Larry in a no-holds barred
Talent-Client discussion at VOICE 2008.
