Happy New Year! Let's get into Voiceovers!

cammie — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100

We just flipped the calendar over to 2012 and I love that nice feeling of getting to start all over again with a clean slate. A fresh new year is ahead of us and I'm optimistic that it will be a good one. There have been some optimistic signs in the economy and in my state of Calfornia, which has been hit especially hard, we're starting to see an uptick, as well.

Thank you for stopping by my wehsite, by the way. My name is Cammie and I thought it would [...]

Voiceover News June 2011

Yes, it's been awhile since you've heard from me. Please know I am not ignoring you and yes, I'm still teaching and coaching voiceover. When it gets really busy around here I must run my business like a hospital's Emergency Room Triage: whatever or whomever is bleeding gets worked on first. Tight time deadlines on projects forced me to put the voiceover newsletter on the ba [...]

Toastmasters Special

cammie — Fri, 20 May 2011 00:00:00 +0100

I recently had the pleasure of speaking about the voiceover industry at Toastmasters District 39 Spring Conference held at the Hilton in Sacramento. This is my second speaking engagement with Toastmasters and it was nice to meet both old and new Toastmasters friends .

Of course, How to Break into the Voiceover Business was the title of my speech and I made it interactive so a dozen lucky souls (okay, that is subjective) had the opportunity to do some tongu [...]

How To Break Into the Voiceover Business

cammie — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0100

The voiceover business sure has come a long way since I broke into the biz, which are more years ago than I care to admit. Back in my day it was all about promoting youself to the local production houses and ad agencies in hopes that you could, with time and perseverance, break into the 'good old boys club' and develop a steady stream of paying customers.

It wasn't easy.

Today the business runs in a completely different way and we all must thank the world [...]

It's My BLOGiversary!

cammie — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Yep, I've been writing this Blog for one year now. I originally started it out of curiosity. I wanted to know: What exactly IS a blog? Why does everyone have one? If everyone else has one....I've got to have one, too!

From what I had been reading on the web, a Blog is a good way of having a platform to voice one's own opinion. A Blog would be my own personal soapbox, so to speak. Who doesn't want that?

Over the last year I've used this soapbox/Blog to talk a [...]

Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy holiday schedules to stop by our studio last Saturday for our Holiday Open House. We had an impressive turnout of more than 80 people! We even had a couple people drive up from Oakland to join in the festivities. It was a fun group!

Jim and I were happy to take the time to spend a few hours of the holiday season with all the great people we've met and worked with this past year including students, clients and fellow voiceove [...]

Testing.....testing....1-2-3....testing....is this Blog on?

cammie — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This is it! Welcome to my Blog. As a child of the 70's all of this "blog-stuff" is somewhat overwhelming to me. Heck, even the word "blog" is strange. But, from exploring others blogs I discovered they are a good way to share info and experiences and my goal is to write about the wonderful world of voiceovers.

That's the plan, anyway.......to talk about voiceovers. And goodness knows after 25 years behind 100's of microphones I do have a thing or [...]
