Get together?

I don't really know any other voice talents aside from the "competition" that I meet at auditions and I certainly don't personally know anyone else who is trying to eke out a living with Voice123 or other online tools. Most people in other industries are able to meet up after work and give each other tips and support, but unless you are working on a long term project with other talents, we seem to have a very insular professional life. I realize that we are spread out all over the globe but perhaps we could organize some regional get-togethers at a restaurant or bar where we can talk about the biz and help each other out and maybe have a good time. I live in NY and would be happy to try and set up something along these lines. Any takers?

Erik, Great idea. Takes me back before the Internet days when you would post to a bulletin board, and the members of the BB would meet and have a software swap meet. Did I just date myself. : - )

Unfortunately, I am not in NY, but in the Center of the good ole USA in Austin. Tx.

Well its the Center to me. : - )

So, com'on folks chime in.

Chris.

That's that! But if you ask me, voiceovers is sort of a secluded hobby . I need my space computer

Erik:
The above indicates why your nice idea won't fly: most of us are spread out over x number of long and latitudes and many are just priming their own wells.
We should, however, find a way to get tohether, and this site ignited a thought in me.
Every month, Voice123 could post a short text. We'd all give it a shot and then critique and vote for the takes. A winner would be declared.
Not only would we be doing what we like to do, but we'd feeding off each other, learning, and winning a monthly T-shirt or mug or certificate or Tone-Y award.
We can meet here in cyberspace.
Anywhere else is unworkable.

I like what robert said, but will V123 help out?

Cyberspace is where we all are, for better or worse. Why not meet there? Laughing

Hummm, that is not a bad idea at all, let us think about how......there might be a way Voice123 can help or something we can recommend to accomplish this, it might need a little research.
