From the bottom of THIS writer's heart, thank you!

We put the right words in the right places and touch people's hearts and minds with ideas, and then get told "Well, anybody can write!"

Keeping the writing muse happy requires a fire in the belly...

Yesterday on another forum, it was opined that a producer's contribution is more "quantifiable" than a writer's, and that without the financing said producer brings, no story can be completed.

I pointed out that since the writers do the actual --- wait for it --- writing, their contribution is just as essential and doesn't need "quantifying", for cryin' out loud.

I misspoke. It's not so much a forum as a well-known blog.

Thank you, Bob.

I'm sure Dave didn't mean another VO Forum, although I am beginning to have my suspicions that such things really do exist.

Deirdre,

I've heard those same rumors, but even if they're true, there's no place like home.

You are all "up in the night". Another forum? You are dreamin'...

I agree with some of the reasons the WGA is on strike, I personally do not like their tactics. I know, I know... get the attention of the consumer and Management will listen, -- maybe.

Without Voiceover Artists how would movies sound? Now that's a huge question... (remember most movies have voiceover's created by the actors (ADR) too, therefore they become VoiceOver Artists). Even the singing was "voiceover" in the early days... the songs were lip sync'd for quality.

So what part of the DVD, internet market are we (as VoiceOver Artists) getting?

Todd,

That's what that movie was about? Huh! Amazing what you learn on the VO-BB. Wink

That video was just the beginning. How about:

Financiers, producers, directors, actors, technical crew and writers may like to reflect on this one .....
