Numerous and heartfelt THANK YOU’s to James Alburger and Penny Abshire for providing me a soapbox for an hour-and-a-half on their sponsored free TeleSeminar Saturday 7.18.09 at noon.
Our collaboration to talk about “Can You Afford To Be Just a Voice Talent?” seemed to me, anyway a lively, fruitful, and informative discussion. I didn’t hold anything back, and felt like I shared a lot of what makes me and my world tick.
We touched on many things, especially social networking, finding challenges in what you do, balancing different aspects of your career, meeting the demands of running your own business, how to approach on-camera work, and much much more.
I believe you can download an .mp3 recording of the TeleSeminar until July 26th on the VoiceActing.com website. Please contact James and Penny using their website contact information if you have any questions about that.
During the call, I set up my FLIP video recorder on a tripod, began the recording, and forgot about it…not realizing that it ran out of battery power about 35-seconds later. This, then, is the only salvageable portion of what I shot, and I humbly submit it here as not one of my best on-camera appearances. But hey — ‘just trying to be transparent!
Please be sure to seriously consider attending VOICE 2010. I’ll be along as a host of the event once more…this time sharing duties with my VO friend Bobbin Beam.

Thanks so much for doing that teleseminar, Dave. It was a pleasure to listen and so many of your points really struck home. I’m SO with you on the audio engineering thoughts (ie: being better in computers and the Internet than with audio engineering – but you really do need to have some skill in that to do what we do. It’s tough!) Thanks again for taking the time out from your busy schedule to give such helpful information. I hope one of these days, that we’ll get a chance to meet in person. :) All the best, — Jodi
Dave,
Thank you very much for your insight and energy. I have benefited greatly from your insights on your blog, etc, about social networking and am using you as a blueprint on how to ‘get myself and my stuff’ out there. Just wanted you to know you’re work is appreciated. I hope to keep sharing info with you online and look forward to buying you a drink at VOICE 2010 in LA.
