It's difficult to understand the situation with these scant details. Presumably, this person is not a VO since he doesn't have his own gear, which will make the recordings quite a bit more challenging ...

Pics of yourself can work in the context of a "vibe" for your site, and that's all well and good, but the odds of someone caring more about your reads because of your pictures are vanishingl ...

SC4 is excellent. Just had my first real session with it a few days ago. May the industry quickly adopt.

If it's been 5 or 10 or so years, it's still early days, but I take your greater point. Still, my point is that the stuff being used in this case of reproducing Jim's voice is not "the good stuff ...

Out of curiosity I went to the linked site and listened to the old real voice and then the new AI version. There are huge differences in sound quality of course, given the limitations of earlier broad ...

I don't do much game work but my thoughts are:

Mike is right.

Aside from his core insight about not relying on platforms that can pull the rug at any time, and who can change cost structures and ad support schemes every time some MBA points ou ...

Haven't used a hotspot, but I did just take action to avoid future internet outages. I picked up a Starlink Mini and man, it is great. Right now it's on top of my house and I can flip over to it if in ...

Moose, in taking a quick peek, I suggest you consider removing the "about me/gear" section (no one cares about your gear, at least no one who might hire you) and put your contact info there ...
