VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks · Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:48 am Post subject: VOICE n VOX

So, in the USA you can spend 5 days and nights in a Hotel with over 9000 hours of training on subjects like "How to buy my book of Voice Talent Skills", guest speakers and mingle with 85 pros and 4.2million wannabees all for a little over $2,500.

In the UK we think small. A couple of hundred or so people producers and voices all meet together at a cost of around £300 and this is what we do.

4pm Speed Networking Location: Kenilworth Bar/Event Centre Foyer
Sponsored and organised by Voiceovers.co.uk. This is a fantastic way for producers and voices to widen their range of contacts. If you haven’t already got your name down for the main session don’t worry as there will be an ‘open’ session at about 5:15pm.

7pm Drinks Reception & VOX Awards Location: Kenilworth Bar/Event Centre Foyer

8pm Wine and Dine Location: Kenilworth Suite
As a digestif to follow our Gala Dinner everyone will be getting…a plate of chips. It’s Race Night and the stakes will be high as 14 tables vie for gambling supremacy over 6 televised horse races. Alcohol will be the ultimate and inevitable prize.

Disco is courtesy of Chris Dannatt & Groove Travelling Discotheques

Late/Early Après VOX Location: The Manor Bar
The residents’ bar will be open until breakfast.

7am-10am Breakfast Location: The River Room Restaurant
If you can’t face the public ridicule you can always order breakfast in bed by filling in a card the night before. This is subject to a small service charge. And the humiliation, of course.

11am Checkout

It'll be fabby. Just thought share.

I like the idea of lounging in the pool the morning after. I have procured an appropriate bathing costume specifically for this purpose.

The speed networking session sounds cool, just saw a short video on the tube this weekend about that.

Rats. I can't go. I've got some scheduling conflicts that would force me to make it a two day trip and I want to spend at least a week. It is one of my home countries after all and I've never been. I'd feel like Chevy Chase on Vacation:

Something about 28 hours in planes and airports and only 40 some hours on the ground that made it less appealing too.
