The Dark Heart of Mina Sauk

Posted Wed, 02/20/2008 - 07:51 by Azure
Not missing the chance to plug something, I want to direct you to  the The Dark Heart of Mina Sauk a Doubledorkmeter  podcast episode. Being very honest here I'm plugging it because I provide a voice for it and it was a massive challenge to record.  It's a horror story in the Lovecraft tradition ( funnily enough the only audio drama I've been in that can be described as such). So hop on over!

Basic Guide to auditioning by Nikkita

Posted Fri, 02/15/2008 - 06:20 by Azure

Nikkita has written up a handy guide to auditions which she has kindly let me reproduce here:

An important aspect of voice acting (amateur and professional) is your audition, and presentation.

Consider the audition like you would a job interview. You’re competing against many other voice overs, some with far more experience than yourself… This is your chance to stand up and show the world what you are made of.
