Voice-Acting in Vegas
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!

Edge Studio has such great suggestions for Voice actors of any level. Their frequent newsletters are Gold.
See the excerpt from their latest Newsletter below the fold, and believe it!
Also, please read all the way to the bottom of the message…tons of great links, contact info, offers of substantial help to voice-actors, and how you can receive this newsletter.

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: [email protected] 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.

Marc Cashman is voice actor, voice coach, and someone you should get to know in this business. Besides being a good guy, and a smart guy, he’s got a boatload of experience.
You can see that first-hand attending one of his many workshops. He’s holding one in the middle of Oct. in LA for budding AudioBook narrators, and all the info is below.
Also, check out the Edge Studio newsletter above where you’ll find that Marc is also holding an Audiobook workshop on the East coast.
A good rule of thumb is to seek some sort of coaching once a month…even if it’s the valued opinion of a peer your respect (I know budgets are tight all around).

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: [email protected]
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.
