Welcome to the forum,

HI Joe... thanks for the kind words...
I am a repressed actor. At 17 I went to audition at the NC School of Dramatic Arts... at the time my sense of self esteem was not up to the wall of passion exhibited by those I encountered at the Audition. I saw many hungry budding entertainers who actually had some serious talent and self confidence. In hindsigth, I had the talent, but not the cajones.
I've since grown a pair. I have also been in and out of two other careers and find myself at a crossroads.. I already did the midlife crisis at 39, so this is truely a fulfilling my desire move.
I've always been a noise maker... I do a very nice trombone! Animal sounds galore and all manner of accents. I think I am a natural for the industry.. however, I am also schmaht enough to realize that what *I* think doesn't alwsy translate into a paycheck.
The gear should show up tomorrow or monday....
I spent the last few days browsing software choices, but haven't found a review that quantifies the difference in programs... obviously Cubase and Audition and PT are all good if not expensive choices, but there seem to be many $50 programs that get good reviews, but these reviews seem to ignore the expensive programs and vice versa....
If you could only give me one book about the
VO industry, which one would it be?
thanks....Jason
