Aside from the teleseminar being organized by David Goldberg’s Edge Studio mentioned in the blog below, David himself is also featured in another phone session sponsored by The VoiceOverDirectory.com.

Mark Davidson’s VoiceOverDirectory is the same enterprise that sponsored my session on applying Social Media techniques to your Voice Acting business, hosted at the end of ‘09.

You can still get a copy of  my accompanying online material, as well as sign-up for David Goldberg’s session scheduled for this coming Monday, by clicking HERE.

Edge Studio is just the greatest.  I am sooo looking forward to meeting it’s founder and CEO David Goldberg when I go to the VO mixer in NYC Dec. 5th.

“Below the Fold” is their latest newsletter…I’ve copied and pasted the whole thing with all their notices, promotions, ads, and contact information (with their permission)…’cause you should look through it.  And if you don’t already get this newsletter…sign up for it!   The link is at the bottom.

Seriously good stuff!

Read this blog often enough, and you’ll begin to see I quote and reference certain sources more than others.

One of my faves is Edge Studio in NYC.  If you haven’t signed up for their newsletter, send a blank email to:  VoiceOverToday-on@edgestudio.com today.  Most all of their info is golden. No…make that all.

Try this, promise yourself to read one section of their helpful website a week, and in one year, you’ll still have stuff left to read.  Free.

In case you didn’t get their most recent newsletter, I’m re-purposing it below the fold.

The headline is ‘4 REASONS WHY PROFESSIONAL VOICE TALENT START LOSING WORK’, but following the article, there are a number of links and offers from services obviously affiliated with Edge…and they’re also worth a quick look.

David Goldberg’s Edge Studio in NYC is tops.

No, I’ve not been there.  I HAVE conducted several paid phone sessions with David himself, all worth every penny.

…and I see the clients, the students, and the associates that come and go at Edge…not a slacker in the bunch.

David is about the best I’ve ever seen at picking out what details — sometimes seemingly inconsequential nuances — can make big impressions on your prospects, your clients, the target of your marketing programs and more.

Things like proper spelling, networking etiquette, and understanding the psychology of inter-relating to people.  He’s just tops at that.  Also getting to the point of what will and what won’t ingratiate you to those whose attention you need to curry the most.  Things like designing a website that caters to the eye of your visitors…not you.  Making it cunningly simple for your prospect to take notice of your marketing efforts.

I’m repeating myself.

You’ll see what I mean when you read David’s “15 THINGS NOT TO SAY IN YOUR VOICEOVER COVER LETTER”.  The tips were just one section of his most recent newsletter.  You’d do well to subscribe.  I read each one top to bottom, and I’m the better for it.

TO SUBSCRIBE: send a blank email to:  VoiceOverToday-on@edgestudio.com

Also, thanks to David for his permission in reprinting his tips below.  In return he only asks that I post the following:

Thanks David!

Two great cities… two distinctively different ways of doing things.

NY is advertising central.  LA is Hollywood.  NY is legacy.  LA is totally…like…you know…laid back.

If you heart NY, you might find yourself out of your element auditioning VO jobs in LA.  Kudos to David Goldberg at Edge Studio for seeing the opportunity here, and finding the right person to help bridge the cultural divide.

Read below-the-fold, you East-Coast-types, for dates/times and info on a planned day-long workshop to take advantage of West Coast idiosyncrasies.
