On May 18, I attended an Intro to Voiceover workshop at @ATLVOStudio and got to do a bit of recording for my first time in a real live vocal booth, hearing myself on headphones as I recorded, also a first! Hoping to take more classes w them soon!
Attended my 1st in-person VO event last weekend, @VOATLANTA . Learned lots, including that I've got tons more to learn. Felt welcomed & encouraged. Got home & booked my 1st in-person Intro to VO workshop.
Inspired to do this!
@MYehVO @ruehelu@micunninghamvo@MarcoRigazio@TimAndrewsVoice I was front row for Closing Ceremonies. Your whole team's reaction to winning was open & real & priceless. Congrats to you all on a fantastic job!
Here’s a great one-sheet from NAVA about the strike and what areas of voiceover are impacted.
The good news is that most areas of VO are unaffected, especially those that everyday voice actors tend to earn in most.
That said, whether you’re union or non-union, what’s at stake here affects all of us. The union has stated that non-union talent taking work covered under the strike will be ineligible for membership in the future, and I hope that regardless of your status each and every one of us will stand up and refuse to let the corporations who forced this action to win. Protect your career and those of your colleagues and refuse to work on struck projects regardless of your union affiliation. It’s the right thing to do.
