The VOHeroes Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Hey there, hero!

Famous quotes aren't always famous. Or quotes. There are all kinds of websites that are dedicated to the things that are attributed to famous people, but that they never actually said.

In this episode, we're going to correct one of those misquotes, and in the process, give ourselves a gift about our lives and our professions.

Once you've heard what Carl Jung actually said, does that make a difference for you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

Like most specialty pursuits, we performers have our own special language when it comes to auditioning and doing the work of actors and voice talent.

And sometimes, people channel The Princess Bride's Inigo Montoya when it comes to some of that jargon: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

A good example is the audition request that is phrased like this: "Give me multiple takes."

In this episode, I'll tell you what I think that means (and give you two hard and fast rules for doing multiple takes), but...does it mean the same to you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

You're at that delicious moment...a blinking cursor, or waiting for the 2nd to call the cast and crew to quiet on the set, or the first moment you've opened a new audio or video recording window...

...how do you feel? Fearful? Anxious? At sea?

Completely and utterly confident?

Or maybe, simply excited. Anticipating action. About to DO something.

How about that last one? It absolutely changes how you feel.

What do you usually feel when you are presented with that moment of opportunity? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

First, here's the link to the insanely over-engineered backup system, I use and teach to my Pros:

https://voheroes.com/backup

Now...once you've reviewed that, and maybe even decide to implement it so you can sleep easier at night, let's see how "backing up for easy recovery, not just disaster" matters when it comes to staying focused on the things we've decided are most important at any point in time.

In today's world, focus becomes more and more difficult, and it can be frustrating to try and stay focused. But...it's inevitable you'll be distracted.

I have a two step process to get back on track if your focus shifts.

And, again, it will.

Hey there, hero!

Picking up right where we left off in our interview with the amazing Anne Ganguzza, she gets to the nitty gritty of answering questions about the perceived threat of artificial intelligence, synthetic voices, the theft of our livelihoods and what preparation we should engage in to meet our digital futures...head on.

She also tackles the panic: what do we do? Where do we go? Who shall save us?

Likely, we'll be saving ourselves. But do listen to what she has to say. Anne has her own awesome podcast at https://VOBoss.com.

What other questions about AI and synthetic media do you have? What weighs heavy on your VO talent mind? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

One of my fave peeps in the entire VO world is Anne Ganguzza.

She was a coach when we were VO2GoGo, and she's gone on to become a force to be reckoned with with sites like VOPeeps and the VOBoss Podcast.

And one of her superpowers is combining tech with VO. That's kind of in demand these days, not only to support her clients but also to deal with the perceived threat of artificial intelligence coming for our voices.

We talk about synthetic voices in this episode, and she has a particularly unique take on the future.

Once you've heard what she has to say...what say you? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

In another episode of this podcast, I talked about the difference between "easy" and "straightforward."

That got people thinking about how they start new processes and how they look at how long getting good at something can take.

Let's flip that on the head, and help you ease the burden of something that appears to be extraordinarily daunting - let's look at "difficult" versus "impossible."

Ever decide something just wasn't worth trying because you labeled it "impossible?" Were you able to do it anyway? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

My buddy Bob just called me, and on occasion, he says something brilliant.

This was one of those times.

He said "When you're looking at how successful you might be at something, don't forget: you yourself are one of the variables."

Brilliant. And worth remembering when you start looking at how long it will take you to make the money back that you spend on training. Want to know how long? Wouldn't that be great to know...but who can say given all the variables in the process, including...

...you.

Here's the link I talk about in the video (that I'll be removing after Wednesday night at midnight) for the payment plan offer for VOHeroes Pro - a 4 month payment plan that goes easy on your cash flow:

Hey there, hero!

Here's something to mull over as you decide to embark on a new experience: there's a big difference between something being easy...

...and something being Straightforward...

...and something being time-consuming.

The differences can make or break you in terms of success.

Ever encounter something that you chalked up to being easy, but was anything but, because it was so tedious? Talk to me in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

I get it. "AI" has two short syllables, and "synthetic voices" has five longer ones, so it's a bit more time-consuming to say.

But it might be useful to try to commit to using the latter, rather than the former, despite its slightly longer length, when we start feeling concerned about our future as human voice talent.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in almost every facet of our creative process, from script management to casting to recording to production to proofing...and on to email, social media and just about everything else.

AI is a broad, generic category of technology.

Synthetic voices, on the other hand, is a pretty specific use of machine learning, data mining, digital modeling and yes, AI.

Can we all agree to use accurate terminology for the dangers we observe that doesn't throw the baby out with the bath water?

Lots of technology (I'm looking at you, Pozotron) is getting a bad rap because they happen to use aspects of AI in their workflow. People have made grossly inaccurate statements about AI-based products and services because...well...they don't know any better.

We can and should know better.

Once I've made my case for this in this episode, answer this for me: do you agree? Or do you simply feel that Skynet will soon be self-aware, so who cares what we call it? Discuss, if you would, in the comments below.
