VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

Bruce · Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 7:12 am Post subject: Faffcon Nugget Exchange

I am so pleased to have gotten all the "golden nuggets" of information I received from Faffcon. I was also tickled to get this compliment for the Voice Acting sessions that Randy Kaye and I led. It speaks so directly to the value of the whole Faffcon experience:

"I want to thank you so much for the acting behind the mic workshop! I was able to put some of the killer direction into action today with a regular client, and he asked me to attend Unconferences every weekend!"

We done good kids.

Bruce--I intended to send you a PM, but now I'll just compliment you publicly. I went to both days of your sessions with Randye and let me tell you-- I have paid much more and gotten much less out of acting workshops! What a joy to watch my peers at work.
And I had a blast performing the comedy spot with Karen Lehman. Thanks for your generosity. Your sessions were a highlight for me.

I'm just sick that I missed them. Both times I was working in my room. Frown

Do it again next time, won't you Bruce?

I so wish I could have been there - but it just wasn't possible - next time to be sure!

I wish I could have been there, too. Fortunately, I did get to spend part of the weekend with some nice friends.

i think it's cool that the microphones are set up in a partially-collapsed above-ground pool.

Nuggets I received:

* warm acceptance from my fellow Faffers; that was most heartening;
* a ton of really good tips about SEO!
* Bruce's workshop on acting -- that was a home run all the way!
* a great lobby conversation with Gene Cordes -- a font of information and experience!
* encouragement

As for that pic of the mics in the pool, I wonder what the noise floor was? Wink

Lee, FaffCon East looks like it was also nugget-laden. And Bruce, you and Randye were handing out excellent nuggets on voice acting. When you mine for gold, you just may find some!

Roy had drained the pool a day or two earlier and since it was a nice, flat, level surface in the right location in the yard, it was the best place to use as a "stage." That left the choices, dismantle the pool entirely or remove a couple of sections and leave the rest standing. Roy opted for choice #2.
