Back whenever, voiceovers made tenth place on MSN.com’s “Top 10 Coolest Jobs” list. At the time, I refuted the other nine and suggested that a VO career simply must be number one in that offers just about everything anyone (well, at least I and presumably you) could want.
That got me thinking.
There are a hundred things I love about working in this field and I know I'm not the only one who loves my job. So I figured I’d step away from the mic for a few minutes and list, in no particular order,… Continue

OK gang, fun idea time!
As my blog is about voice over (vox), marketing (market) and advertising (tising) I thought we should have some summer fun here and combine all three into a voice talent business card gallery.
Simply email me a decent quality jpeg picture of your business card (front and back if you print on both sides) and we’ll show them here. Email peter (insert the at sign) audioconnell dot com and I’ll post all entries. Maybe we’ll have a card beauty contest and pick a winner….we’l… Continue
Nowadays it’s more important than ever, to have a demo that stands out above the crowd. You NEED something different. Jason LeBlanc, with the help of some pro video guys, has come up with a unique way to change your MP3 voice demo into a You Tube Style video. I’ve booked several animation jobs because I sent a video demo instead of an audio MP3. If you’re interested drop by My Next Demo and have a look see. It really is worth it. Thus ends… Continue

Bonjour Mes Ami,
It's been a tough week. A few hours ago I spoke to my Uncle in the UAE to give him my condolences on losing his wife. He's my favorite uncle on my mother's side... tough times.
I've been living alone for the past few weeks.. my wife is in Jordan with my daugher visiting her parents. Which is probably one of the reasons why I am so introspective these days. I miss them horribly but inshallah (God Willing) I'll be joining my family in Jordan in a couple of weeks for a bit of vac… Continue

Apparently this is a New Business Mantra that is pretty popular... I only heard of it a few months ago when discussing one of my friend's idea for a new business. My friend Izzy is a very ambitious kind of guy... He is one of the only people that I know that has been able to sustain a successful freelance business and remain self employed. Some Months are great and som… Continue

Here are some clips from a session I did recently for Valley View Casino in San Diego. We did VO for two TV spots, plus a short character intro for an in-house video:
I keep forgetting that strikeouts are just as valuable as home runs...
My mom gently told me recently, "we never learned how to loose in our household"... big problem.
Let me encourage you to get great at it.
We all want these huge over the fence out of the park VO careers and live… Continue

I'm unavailable.
Please don't leave a message.
Are there goals that I might aim for now
If I knew just when I'd die and how?
Would I put my appetites in check?
Would I salvage anything I've wrecked?
Would I focus on important things
Or just take what inattention brings?
Would I change the ways I think and feel
About annoying things w… Continue
