Srsly. Back in the day, we used to preach "live where the work is" until we were blue in the face. That was 25 years ago, nearly half of my life. In that time, "broadband internet" of 6Mbits downstream was 50-75 bucks a months and the upstreams were usually 256-512 Kbit. The preaching was qualified and quantified. Now, you can get nearly 1000 times the speed at up to 5 Gbits as cable providers build up capacity and more fiber direct-to-the-home are coming from telecom providers. You can build a sound-proof enclosure with a 5' x 5' imprint and 7' tall using PVC pipe and acoustic blankets. Studio quality mics are under 200 dollars, now and so are audio input stations, oftentimes less. It was a ProTools and multi-$1000 dollar mikes when I started. Now, a SourceConnect yearly access fee is reasonable and its little sibling SourceNexus is still free. Also, I found a gadget that mimics booth enclosure. You have to kill your AC and overhead fans, but I'm happy to sweat a little until I can build my booth. Lastly, if anyone reading this hasn't attended training, worked on their pipes, learned anything about acting and hasn't generated the up-front sweat-equity in starting their career, then they're gonna sit at home with a booth full of dreams and no work. But yeah, if you've got the skills and got quite a bit of practice, you can totally do it from home. Brick and mortar aint dead, but I shouldn't have to move to New York, LA or any other big metropolis - pay an extra $500 - $1000 per months in rent, groceries and utilities - just to do the occasional voice job. The last thing I did was kind of hybrid-remote. I got paid something extra to go to a remote studio 75 miles away and still do a remote session. I listed off all the physical and technical reasons they could just record me from home, and the attitude was, "we're big-time, and so are you." So technically, they want us to be complicit in the brick and mortar disease when I know for a fact I can make it cheaper for them. I don't need to make half a million dollars a year to consider myself successful in this business. I would be happy for a part-time income and the joy of people that I've entertained knowing I am, other than my father, his dad and his brother, all passed on of course, the only guy in this business with *this* voice. AI can't do it. Other guys can't do it. It's a very narrow niche, but it'sx mine, and I know it may not make me a lot of cash. So why not let me do it at home? Peace!

There needs to be another free conferencing option for doing live voiceover sessions because not ONCE have I done a VO session over Zoom without some sort of technical issue 😔 And many creators don't use Discord either which is understandable. Aaand SourceConnect isn't free...

Done recording with Japan via SourceConnect tonight! Engineer is speaking in English, the clients were speaking in Japanese. If you're studying foreign language now, please keep doing and don't give up. One day, you'll thank yourself and all the teachers who helped you!

I contacted #SourceConnect customer service via email and they got back to me in 6 minutes. That's the fastest ever customer response via email. THANK YOU!!!

Daily Nuggets: 1.) You have approximately 45 days left before voicoever hits what is typically its busiest quarter of the year. What are you doing to get ready? 2.) Perception is often reality, but be careful to make bold choices strategically. It’s not that hard to don the cape of expertise. If you do, just be sure you still have clothes on underneath it if people start asking you to show the goods. 3.) Home studios. You can sound great on inexpensive gear and don’t need to be a master engineer. BUT…..when the time comes for a SourceConnect session or to record a demo reel, you can’t hide that noise floor, computer fan, or highway out your window. Don’t wait until game day to discover that your audio won’t meet the standards of top shelf producers. The tech helpers in the biz are worth every penny.
