Busy Week!
Well, there won’t be a lot of downtime for anyone at Voice Coaches this week. That’s because on Saturday May 2nd, we will host our third annual Advanced Marketing Expo at the GE Theater, right here in Schenectady.
With more than 150 attendees and guests expected from as far away as Alaska, New Mexico, Georgia, South Carolina, California, and Florida, this event is not only a great place to learn, it has become an incredible opportunity for voice actors to network with one another.
For our team, and my wife and I, the expo is also a chance to reconnect with friends who just happen to be some of the top professionals in our field. Stephanie and David Ciccarelli from Voices.com will again join us. In addition to providing incredible professional opportunities for Voice Actors, Voices.com offers customer service that is unmatched in their industry.
Legendary Voice Actor and Author Rodney Saulberry gave a call yesterday to confirm his travel arrangements that will allow him to join us for our event and the VIP Mixer the evening prior.
Super Agent Billy Serow will join us and be on hand Friday Evening and Saturday to interject realistic perspective to those considering pursuing major commercial VO work.
We’ll welcome for the first time, Award winning audio book producer and voice actor Dan Bostick who is sure to be popular as the audio book field continues to expand.
We’ve asked our good friend and Media-Technology expert Dan Dinsmore to share his perspective on emerging opportunities for professional voice actors.
We are excited to have Producer-Trainer David Goldberg from New York’s famous Edge Studios on hand to provide perspective on A market VO.
Traveling from Fort Wayne Indiana to speak about Home Recording will be Mark Magdich from Sweetwater. Sweetwater is the worlds number one audio equipment retailer and mark is an absolute expert when it comes to Home Recording.
Marketing expert and voice actor Jay Silverman will add perspective on the benefits of reaching close to home to build opportunities.
Television host, film, and voice actor Evan Farmer will join our expert panel and answer questions about building success.
Other folks who we expect to be on hand include actor and Voice Coaches Student John James, Voice Over Xtra’s John Florian, and many successful former students and professionals.
We will post videos on Voice Coaches TV, and interviews at Voice Coaches Radio.
and now… no sleep till Sunday!

Sleep, David? What is this “sleep” of which you speak?
David filled you in on the hard work going in to the expo and the incredible collection of speakers we have coming, but I don’t think he got across just how excited everyone at Voice Coaches is about the event. We work with so many people day in and day out throughout the year, but many of them we never get to meet face to face. This is our chance to get out there and meet some of the people who we’ve trained, corresponded with, and networked with throughout our everyday business lives. I can tell you this: you won’t see a single Voice Coaches team member at the expo that won’t be smiling from ear to ear! Can’t wait to see YOU there!
Oh yes, Mike is correct! We are excited. I must have been too exhausted to covey that.
I just returned from a technical meeting with the engineers from the GE Theater and I’ve been assured everything is a GO! The technical side is a bit complicated as in addition to providing microphones for the speakers and the multi-person expert panels, we also have to mic the speakers and room for our own recording of the event… this includes room mics for the audience.
On top of that, we are making full use of the gigantic surround screen that the theater offers, running images, video, and text between and behind our guest speakers.
While that’s happening, the entire presentation is being filmed from HiDef cameras for future reference.
We will also run candid videos and photos on the big screen in the info-vend area just outside the theater.
Caterers want to be on location at 6:30 am, as will our tech crew and team.
On top of this, people are still trying to register!!!
Wow!
This is going to rock!
Hi David,
Anxiously awaiting info from the expo as am unable to attend! Will look for your ‘tweets’ as well as check out the Voice coaches radio! I know Stephanie and David Ciccarelli will have great info (am on w/voices too!) plus perspective from Billy Serow should be outstanding!
Thanks for keeping all of us ‘in the loop.’
