Greetings!

I work in television as an Assignment Editor in Omaha, Nebraska. But I went to college for radio. After wanting to take the plunge for years, I've finally decided to give VO a go.

Any and all advice is welcome. Keep in mind, this is the first step I've taken. I've purchased no equipment yet, and am in the "doing research about vo" phase.

Welcome to the sandbox, dude!

As a newcomer myself who just dove in feet first, trust me the learning curve is steep. Fortunately, there are a ton of folks who are available right here at this very website that are more than happy to help nudge you along in the right direction.

Enjoy the journey - it's a nice looong ride and no one ever arrives - they just change directions.

Welcome Bob. As a former Omahaian (is that what they are called?), let me say you are in good company. We are all continually learning and this board is a great place to do it.

Enjoy!!!

No worries there, Bob.
We all still are.

It's a maddening biz, but it sure beats stalking dinner with a sharp stick.

Welcomingly Yours,

It's better than diggin' ditches Bob, but for a long time it might not pay as well. Welcome.

Morning welcomes, Bob -- nice chatting with you via the shoutbox. If you're ever in Lincoln, stop in at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum. I recorded their audio tour this year!

Congratulations again on the baby!
