How fantastic this is! Welcome Adam. So glad you’re taking this journey with David and the rest of us in the group. Thank you for sharing this!

Are the best practices for editing and mastering your files any different for audiobooks vs. explainer videos vs. commercials, etc.?

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. I’m debuting a new class this Saturday. It’s free, and I’m almost finished with it. Since the pandemic, I’ve had hundreds of questions I’m going to answer in this […]

When using Source Connect or other connection to client, how important is it to have direct plug-in internet access vs. wifi access? If not ok to use wifi and not tech savvy, what resource or technician is available to help get the internet access directly to your working space.

I just got Pozotron and used it on my first 15 of my next book! Easy peazy thanks to your video. Markers worked perfectly. This is so wonderful and will save so much time! Thanks for getting us 6 hours. I should be able to do the entire book! You are my hero!

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. After telling my VOHeroes Pros and my students in the ACX Master Class about Pozotron during the last week (they get the inside skinny first, always), it’s time to […]

Thank you for this. Just beautiful. And I think as humans in general, we need this reminder once in awhile. Thank you for your positive words.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. I recently had the privilege of speaking to two very different audiences in one day, and in both cases, the same question came up. And in both cases, they brought me […]

This makes so much sense and yes! I’m going to try it.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. As I get older (or maybe more busy, or both), I find myself struggling to retain all that I’m soaking up as I try to learn new things. Turns out…I’m not […]

I love “You know you MAY be right.” It is much more gracious than I usually am in these situations and I’m going to adopt this from now on. Thanks for this.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. You might find yourself, as I do from time to time, in a conversation with someone who insists on being right. Even over being effective, helpful or generous. […]

In this year where we are constantly bombarded with negativity, I’ve LOVED starting my day with your delightful positivity. Seriously, it has helped me get through the rest of the day because I’ve started my day in an upbeat, positive manner. I really look forward to watching your videos every morning. THANK YOU!

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. So, there I was, just minding my own business, headed out to do some errands, and my phone buzzed. It was YouTube. They just wanted to blow my mind with some […]

Thank you for this! When I’ve told people lately that I’m exploring voice over and am particularly interested in Audiobooks, I’ve repeatedly received negative responses including: “Why would you do that? You’ll only make about $0.15 an hour.” Sigh.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. One of my favorite performance areas is audiobooks. I’ve done over 200 of them over the years. And I also love teaching how to be a great audiobook narrator […]

This makes so much more sense! Thank you.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. When we audition, we also slate our work. And often, we slate, then go right on and perform our audition. That procedure can have a harmful unintentional effect on […]

Thank you for bringing this up! It’s lovely to know that I’m not the only one working on this. I find it difficult because I truly value other people’s experiences and stories, so it took me awhile to grasp that it was irritating to most people. I try to breathe and say to myself “Just listen, just listen, just listen” if I notice I’m about… Read more

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. In trying to help people, I’ve noticed I’m doing something that I need to stop doing. I do want to help, but I don’t need to always “tie in” someone else’s experience […]

Wow! It looks amazing. And, I loved seeing the comparisons. Thanks for your continued pursuit of excellence in all things.

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. Things evolve. People evolve. Philosophies and frameworks evolve. And yes, so do video production workflows. Here’s a sneak peek as to what’s ahead.

I’m working on this. In fact, I did this successfully just last night about a recent project I completed. This does not come naturally and I find it easier to do if I know that it is something they would actually be interested in whether or not I’m involved. It was well received though, and I was then asked if I had other projects as well.… Read more

This is very interesting and I have lots of questions, but maybe we can talk about it privately sometime if this isa too much for this forum. Can those NOT living in CA and NY set this up or is it allowed only in these 2 states? Is there a baseline of earnings (maybe based on how much it costs to set up and run the corporation) where it… Read more

Thank you for answering my question. I understand the concept and will try it out the next chance that I get.

Do you have any suggestions for knowing when to move on to another person or group in the room? And, a graceful way to do that. And/or when your group has dispersed, the best way to join another group already chatting away?

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. I wanted to share with you one last networking tip that wasn’t in the MOO blog post I’ve been dissecting over the last few videos. And it’s how to come up with what […]

I have the shy problem. I’d rather stay home with a good book. It’s terrifying to me to interact with strangers. In fact, this even carries over to commenting on sites like this. I just don’t ever do it! So, can you admit to shyness in these situations? I’m afraid that would make it more awkward. Any ideas about a different way to approach it?

In reply to - David H. Lawrence XVII posted a new post. As you may know, I love MOO cards. I’ve been using them, and MOO stickers, and MOO postcards for years. And they do what I do: they publish little golden nuggets to […]
