VO Career.com sent out an engaging newsletter early this week that you may want to take note of…certainly worth a few minutes to visit the site HERE and take a look around.

‘Some knowledgeable articles, links, and references to people in the business who have made a good name for themselves (i.e. Deb Munro).

I’m honestly not all that familiar with this resource, so this is a neutral referral…but I can see some quality work that’s gone into this newsletter, and would welcome any feedback you have about VOCareer.com.

This is an idea whose time has come, so I’m linking you to the news release with the details.  In my mind the jury is still out on the entity offering this scholarship…I just don’t know enough about them.

But I must say this is a stroke of marketing genius, and likely a genuine offer.

Somebody, maybe you, could really benefit from this opportunity.

‘Coupla mentions, here of some issues I blogged about recently.

The first is about that CopyScape.com website. (my original blog here) For a while, there, the subject seemed to fade away on the VO forum site where it first appeared.  But it came back, and I’m glad it did…because ace VO talent Peter Drew chimed in with a great contribution on what was developing into a conversation about copyright and content rights.  You’ll see his comments “below-the-fold” in blue when you click “read the rest of this entry…”

The second is concerning the free VO evaluation being made by the start-up VO website VOCareer.com. (my original blog here).  Fellow SaVoa Advisory Board Member, Scott Diskin, decided to take ‘em up on their offer, and wasn’t so impressed.  You can read his comments, and the VOCareer response “below-the-fold” in red, when you click “read the rest of this entry…”

P.S. I wasn’t comfortable attaching the VOCareer evaluation form Scott mentions without their approval (see CopyScape copyright issue blog), but Scott would likely be willing to share it with you if you asked him.  I saw it, and can concur that it’s not particularly revealing nor did it appear to be very labor-intensive.

My thanks to Peter Drew and Scott Diskin for allowing me freedom to excerpt their comments.
