Waiting on the phone right now for a conference call with Nancy Wolfson. I look forward to hearing the wisdom she has to offer.

"I'm nutsy about this - I want people to win"
When asked about people sending her demos and asking if she can evaluate their voiceover ability, she doesn't do that because: "I'm not in a position to evaluate their ability to learn"
"...places like the VO-BB.com, run by DB Cooper, is a wonderful, supportive community..."
Regarding demos: "Good enough is not good enough."
"I've got snotty ears"
"There's no such thing as good enough for a small market because of the internet"
Your ability to succeed is not dependent on the sound of your voice. It's not your voice that makes you viable or not - it's your skill set.
P2P is not going away - we are in a transition time where agents and talents are learning how to use the technology, those who master it will do well.

Yup. That all sounds like Nancy. She's a one of a kind - kinda girl.
If you choose to work with her you will get your ass handed to you occasionally...and love every minute of it.
Over the years we've developed a really cool working relationship...and like so many other folks I work closely with in the business, we've never met face to face.
One of these days though.......

Wolfson is the real deal, no question, Chuck. She's got enough brains and savvy for all of us... thank goodness she's in OUR business.

Yeah, got a piece of ass-handing just yesterday. Totally deserved. Happily, the session ended well.
Note to self: can't get anything past this woman!
