You are going to LOVE this!!!
Meet Rilo, guide dog in training. She was born on November 17th. Our partners at Deluxe got her at the end of January and are sponsoring her training until she is about 14-16 months old. So far she has graduated from Puppy Kindergarten at Guide Dogs of America - Tender Loving Canines and they are training her up now to pass her seven-month evaluation when that comes around. She is still very much a puppy, with lots of energy and hasn’t quite mastered certain things like calm greetings or not putting her paws on the counter, but she will certainly need to have those down by her one year birthday evaluation! Give Rilo a "like," and come meet her at That's Voiceover Career Expo December 5-7. She'll be all grown up by then, so stop in here periodically to enjoy her progress. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555120320457

Voice actors, musicians, singers, and all audio-based artists benefit from the professional insight of Jonathan Ruest. The Society of Voice Arts and Sciences is excited to host his clinic and the genius of the Neumann brand at That's Voiceover Career Expo. This is just one of many extraordinary events taking place over the 3-day weekend from Dec 7-9. For tickets, schedule, and discount flight on United Airlines, go here: https://sovas.org/schedule-tvo/

If you are attending That’s Voiceover!™ Career Expo (and you should 😉), don't miss out on our colleague Jonathan's presentation on choosing your mic and planning your studio.🎙️ ✍️

Starting with the right gear gives the voice actor the confidence that they are delivering the best possible recording quality, and it shows your clients that you are a consummate professional. Poor equipment planning, on the other hand, is often the reason an excellent audition will never make it past the first cut. Like a pilot's cockpit, your studio is your path to a smooth take off and landing. When your studio is in order, you can focus purely on delivering the best performance within you. This is a conversation that will turn beginners in to experts and experts into masters. 🤓
