VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Quick VO-related sidebar on The Stick:

Got a message from Mike a couple of weeks ago regarding an exchange he was having with a fellow poster on LinkedIn. I wandered into the topic and gave him a wink about his "America's Favorite VO ...

I've compared the M Hobo Tounge

and the X2u. To my ears, the M Hobo Tounge

is a good bit quieter. Or at least the one I got was. As George says, the X2u has superior industrial design and handy additional features. But i ...

Thanks all for the helpful input. Anybody else going to Joan Baker's shindig on Thursday?

I just bought a Sennehiser 416 from vo-bb'er Josh Mahler (hi Josh). I'm heading to Los Angeles next week for a few days, and plan to pack the 416 as part of my compact road kit.

What a timely thread. Tonight in my inbox:

"...the client would like a Morgan Freeman soundalike voice."

Despite my earlier comments, I'm sorely tempted to actually try a take or two i ...

Personally, I try to give the client/booker the benefit of the doubt. Especially since sometimes even they don't know what they're really looking for.
