As I’ve been announcing, this blog is no longer active (i.e., no new posts or comments.)

My New Posterous Blog – Post-amp

As I’ve been mentioning here on The Lazy Voice-Over, this blog will soon be closed. The posts will remain here as a form of “archive” for those that reference some of the tips I’ve posted here. As always, I’m trying to look ahead to where things are headed, and the Posterous service seems to fit [...]

Posting on Posterous

Back in August, I made the decision to return to blogging. I never expected to have the Fall season that I’ve been having and, so, voiceover has gotten in the way. But that’s no excuse! There are so many wonderful VO blogs out there (my two favorite are my friends and colleagues’ Bob Souer’s blog [...]

The Laziness is Coming to an End

Several months have gone by since this blog has been active. Part of it was intentional as I made the decision to focus more time in front of the mic and less time in front of my computer. This blog has always been about using technology in order to create more time for yourself; to [...]

That’s why when I see a fellow voice-over artist use their Gmail instead of their own domain’s email, I understand their choice. Most hosts’ [...]

Open Letter To My Fellow Lazy VO’s And A Lesson In Outsourcing

A few days ago, I received an email from a colleague who I respect not only for her talent, but for her approach to “quieting things down.” Everyone knows how hectic this business of VO can be, and those who really know me understand how much I believe in unloading and slowing down in order [...]

Overlooking The Don

Thanks to my friend and Movie Marketing Madness (M3) blogger Chris Thilk, for posting this article on how Don Lafontaine was overlooked by The Academy. Thanks again, Chris. The Don deserves to be recognized in so many ways for his contributions not only to movie marketing, but to the culture as well. Get Lazy in [...]

Share… A Little.

It seems like ages ago, that I was in the music business. And in any business there are just as many, if not more, online chat forums (i.e., time-vampires). Well, this morning I had a flashback about a musical collaboration I had with another forum member/artist. You can read about it here. This was before SourceConnect, [...]
