DO NOT UPGRADE to Adobe Audition CS 5.5 from 3.O......YET You will LOSE the preview play in the "open files" window. To hear a file you now must open it. NO PREVIEW AUTOPLAY...unless you have memorized what all your files sound like, this missing function will KILL your workflow.
Prime Time Promo VO

I just had the opportunity to work with some great folks in the My VO Coach Primetime Promo workshop. My friends Stephanie, Jaye and Lee and online pal and now bricks and mortar friend Barry were in the class. It was a great experience learning with my buddies and taking cues from David Alden who has directed many of the greats in our profession in thousands of promos. Promos are usually produced as a team effort and the feeling of camaraderie and unity of purpose among all participants… Continue

The $1250 PayPal Lesson SELLER BEWARE and a Happy Ending

It arrived in my PayPal account, I transferred the funds to my bank account and proceeded to spend the $1250 on luxury items like food and shelter. (times are tough all over)
Yesterday my Pal Pal balance was negative $1250. The buyer had revoked the payment. His bank took back the money. Now any payments to my PayPal… Continue
