    S5 E3 - Guest Appearance...Cory Rimes!
    Sep 4 2024
    Welcome back team!

    This week we had ourselves a special guest on the show, where we talked all sorts of ridiculous, and spoke to the one and only about his VO journey and the VO Academy

    Cory Rimes is a seasoned voice talent, entrepreneur, and mentor in the realm of audio
    production. Since 2017, Cory has been leaving his mark on the industry with his versatile voice,
    lending his talent to various mediums including commercials for radio and internet advertising,
    character voiceovers, audiobooks on platforms like Audible, internet promos, IVR projects,
    eLearning materials, corporate narration, and explainer videos.
    Beyond his individual projects, Cory is deeply committed to nurturing and empowering voice
    talent across all levels of experience. In 2021, he founded the VO Academy, a monthly
    membership service designed to provide voice actors with ongoing support and opportunities for
    growth. Through the VO Academy, members engage in workout groups led by different mentors
    each month, exploring various genres and refining their skills in a collaborative environment.
    For further details on the VO Academy here is the link www.voacademy.ca
    Recognizing the importance of community and information sharing, Cory also founded the Voice
    Over Society, a free online group accessible via Facebook and LinkedIn. Within this community,
    voice talent can connect, exchange knowledge, and even receive a complimentary script read
    each month.

  • S5 E2 - The Traveling Voice Actor

    S5 E2 - The Traveling Voice Actor
    Aug 21 2024
    Today we are talking the Good Talk about all things travel!

    One of the amazing perks of being a voice actor in the year 2024 is the
    ability to take your work with us as we travel the globe.

    Because of advancements in technology and shifting attitudes in the
    industry, the voice actor is now able to work while traveling (which
    hasn’t always been the case in the past!)

    Lets talk about some of the specific things we do to allow us to work and travel at the
    same time.

    Don't forget to find us on all your usual socials, and send us in your Sounds for us to try and make!

  • S5 E1 - A word from an Audio Engineer... Our Mighty Producer Jordan!

    S5 E1 - A word from an Audio Engineer... Our Mighty Producer Jordan!
    Aug 14 2024
    A bunch of chaos as you would expect, but this time we fire the questions at our famous Producer Jordan to chat about his business, NZ Audio Editors, and what it looks like behind the scenes dealing with all things audio

    Here's a few things we asked
    • Jordan, remind us of how you got into audio engineering.
    • Do you work much with voice over artists specifically or is it a mixed bag?
    • What do you wish VOs or podcasters knew about mic technique or use that would make things easier for you?
    • What do you wish VO’s or podcasters knew about sound treatment that would make things easier for you?
    • What level of editing do you think a VO would need to be able to do to be helpful in their career, any helpful tips for us

    • What level of editing do we do to our own audio?
    • Whats the process for editing The Good Talkers

    • Worst piece of audio you’ve ever been given, why was it so bad?

    If you want to work with Jordan and the rest of the team you can find them at www.nzaudioeditors.com, or contact Jordan on +642041807272

  • E9 S4 - Season Finale Whoop! What the F@ck does "Medium" mean? (and other fun words)

    E9 S4 - Season Finale Whoop! What the F@ck does "Medium" mean? (and other fun words)
    Jul 31 2024
    Here we have it, Season Grand Finale!

    Wrapping up the "WTF" series, and the season all in one

    How do we know what people actually want? We kind of don’t, we have to bring our own interpretation then allow iteration
    • Direction is useful, as is asking questions
    • Experience builds this up
    • Interrogate the script

    What do those words mean:
    • Vocal choices (pitch, placement, modulation, control)
    • Delivery choices (pace, volume, mic technique)
    • Acting choices (feelings, imagery, thoughts, subtext)
    • Genre specific

    It’s a starting place - things often change
    Share your weirdest direction
    What’s YOUR definition?
    What do people tell you your voice sounds like?
