For more information, please visit: http://www.voschoolpodcast.com

This week's episode of the podcast is something a little different. At the end of September, in collaboration with 'Voice Actors of NYC', the VO School Podcast hosted a live panel event at Opera America in New York City. The event was entitled 'The Future of Voiceover'.

This is part 1 of that event – our main discussion portion. The next episode will feature our Q&A discussion, featuring a diverse range of questions from the audience.

Leading the discussion was Carin Gilfry of Voice Actors of NYC and Jamie Muffett, host of the VO School Podcast. Our fantastic panelists were: Lisa Biggs: voice talent, casting director and business maven. Jim Kennelly: veteran of the voiceover industry in New York City, and owner/producer/CD of Lotas Productions. And David Goldberg: CEO of Edge Studios, a voiceover centric company that began in the late 80's and produces, casts and teaches voiceover in all genres.

In this episode we cover the current state of the industry, how we see genres evolving, and how casting will continue to evlolve over time. We also discuss the impact technology will have on production and marketing, rates, and the many reasons to be optimistic about voiceover moving forward!
