VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I am also an XP hold out, but I just got off the phone with the local company that built my computer 5 years ago. I asked him if I should be worried still using XP and his response was:

I'll probably catch a rash of & #*+ from some for saying this....

But my number is zero.

I don't like working for nothing.

Sure, if I'm asked.... I'll audition. But I'll only audition ...

I auditioned for one book on ACX and got the job.

Then I waited for the book. Then I waited some more. I finally reached out to the author's publicist and she assured me it was on it's way.

Hi Todd,
I'll throw another one in the mix...

IMO, a preamp with transformers will tame that mic's high end.
Good luck and Happy New Year!!

Hey John!

Tell me more about the John ...

Not to start an argument, but I've never heard a mic preamp described as "boomy" before. What does that mean?

I think Bish's thinking is the direction I was leaning as well. He has been a client for quite a while and in his apology e mail last night, he is promising to pus ...

I'm in a tough spot.

A few weeks back, I was offered an audiobook that was a LARGE job and the client, who is a long time client of mine, quoted me $8,625 when the job was completed.

So I labor ...

CAD E100s. Todd, you would totally rock this mic. Smile

Made in Ohio!

Thanks, Lance. I'll look into it.

And thanks to all of you for your input. Smile

Just curious....what kind of mics are you guys using these days?

I'm mic shopping and would like to hear your choices.

I feel Kristen's pain.

I did a medical workbook recently and it was 11 hours of finished audio. My wife worked 5 pages ahead of me phonetically spelling out words after looking them up on Dictionar ...

IMO just make the calls and don't worry about the results.

I can tell you Christian, that probably 50% of my work has come either directly or indirectly from cold calling.

Same here. I've gr ...

So let's share some of the corny scripts we've all had to tackle. Those kinds that are so hokey, even your golden pipes can't overcome the cheese factor. Laugh

I did this one a few days ago:
