Amazon Prime days! (Boo, I know...) If you need a really good microphone (way better than RODE) for cheap or for a backup, I recommend the new AKG C114. Same specs as a TLM 102, really nice balanced sound, and only $229. lanceblairvo.com/akg-c114-rev...

Earlier this week I covered SLR for Radio and Podcasting producers. Now I look at SLR from the perspective of a voice actor. What are the challenges of doing an SLR well, and how does one stand firm on rates when there is potential scope creep? lanceblairvo.com/slr-for-voic...

He loves the inflation. "Young man, there's no need to feel down I said, "Young man, pick yourself off the ground" I said, "Young man, 'cause you're in a new town There's no need to be unhappy" IT'S FUN TO PAY WITH THE HIGH INFLATION IT'S FUN TO PAY WITH THE HIGH INFLATION...

What are those voiceover auditions where they want you to improvise testimonial copy from talking points? They're SLRs (Simulated Live Reads). I look at them in detail from a marketing producer's POV, with a quote from an actual marketing producer who makes SLRs. lanceblairvo.com/what-is-an-s...

One of the best ways to avoid mouth clicks and smacks in #voiceover is to breathe through your nose. It has other benefits too! lanceblairvo.com/nose-breathi...

The 90s were 30 years ago. I just started tucking in my shirt again.

Peter Thiel is moving to Argentina. How soon will Jethro Dull resign???

The whole album of 'Kind of Blue' but every note is a sample of Cookie Monster "eating."

The solo work in "Taxman" is some of my favorite ever. Messing with my head to find out so late that it is Paul doing that handicraft on the axe.

The Four Post-WW2 Generational Voice Over Styles What are the defining characteristics of Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer generational voice over styles, especially in commercials and voice acting characters? lanceblairvo.com/generational...

With AI, NPCs are shifting from talking models with fixed scripts into digital beings that can learn, remember, and react. Do you want your characters to be reactionary or do you want them to have a set personality manifest in predictable reactions? lanceblairvo.com/npcs-and-ai-...

What are the defining characteristics of Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer generational voice over styles, especially in commercials and voice acting characters? Also, how does this relate to the products they buy, the media they consume, and their values? lanceblairvo.com/generational...

Ah, the reason why there are so many South Korean videos for the new C line of AKG mics is because AKG is a Harman Company, which is OWNED BY SAMSUNG! Sounds good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRXZ...

New Raw Voiceover Samples. Well, they are the same ones I recorded and had saved, but I now rendered them with the *optimal* REAPER settings. Also, the samples now come with 48 kHz 24 bit .wav as well as 128 kbps .mp3 both RAW and PROCESSED. lanceblairvo.com/raw-voiceove...

W. Bush's major miscalculation in destroying the regime in *Iraq* was that Iraq is 55% Shia and 40% Sunni. As a result, Iraq has become a vassal state of Iran, which is 90% Shia, and the world's largest Shia majority. There won't be religious squabbling in a post-Khamenei power struggle.

Subplot that everyone is ignoring about the US/Israel attack on Iran: Pakistan and Afghanistan started an open shooting war this week. That is part of this. Lots of moving pieces.

Israel attacking Iran on a Saturday during Ramadan is a choice.

The new Rick Jackson for Governor ad in Georgia has an AI enhanced photo of the Atlanta skyline. It has the NYC Freedom Tower and something that looks like the San Francisco 555 California Street building prominently in it. WHY? Why are #politicalads so poorly made?

Best way to judge someone's character is if they're into Gene or Dean Ween. It's like a simplified Zodiac.

New corporate video voiceover demo! soundcloud.com/american-voi...

The moment a voiceover actor starts performing their credibility instead of conveying it, trust evaporates. The message doesn't land, and the video doesn't convert. So how do you get the confidence you want without the sales pitch? www.linkedin.com/pulse/corpor...

Consistency in eLearning voice overs matter great deal, especially when projects last months, and when it comes to revisions, years. www.linkedin.com/posts/americ...

I like TMBG's new song "Wu-Tang." Of course, the song isn't really about Wu-Tang but about dozens of weird metaphysical things, as always with them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io63...

'Struth, such options widen the scope of the tongue.

Excited for the last full MLS season that starts in the late winter. There will be one more half-length season that starts next February (ZANY!) and then we switch to a late summer start, IF Punxsutawney Phil sees his soccer ball.

When Rubio was in Munich, he had a meeting with the Ukrainian delegation, and he gave Defense Minister Umerov a big hearty handshake like they were on the same baseball team. It was almost like a secret handshake, and they were all smiles. Compare this to VD Jance.

Many Women *Trump Voice* are loving Heated Rivalry, and I will admit that I would be definitely into watching a show about the PWHL, a league that I love to watch. I have a plot idea for a hockey romance novel about a female player and a male zamboni driver called "PASSION RESURFACES"

I dreamt that I was at a record shop in Australia. I asked what the best Radiohead album was and everyone kept saying "Kid A, mate." Then I asked what was the next best album and they said "The Bins." I said "Yes, I know they're in the bins, so what's the next best album then after that?" ...

How am I supposed to get through this year and not get banned on most social media???

What was "Joe Biden and Merrick Garland not doing their jobs?"

Here is the video which very clearly shows that ICE committed murder today in Minneapolis. It is not visually graphic, but it does contain gunshots.

How many times is Trump going to change his 'do this week?

Aye, there be pirates sailin' the Gulf O'America seizing tankers full o'black gold headed for Havana and other ports of ill repute!

But of course they're doing this. LOL.

it's 2038 and Geese are wrapping up their second residency at the Sphere as the world's finest R Kelly cover act.

I hope NYC rejects the power-mad candidate who embraces ethnic tribalism, authoritarian leaders, and self-enrichment and instead votes in Zohran Mamdani.
