Vacation and VO on the ROAD!

In this DOUBLE-EPISODE of The Making Wavs VO Podcast, voice actor and audio authority, Jerry Pelletier along with George “The Tech” Whittam join us to talk about VO on the ROAD. Jerry also talks about his severe “GAS” problem. Plus, George shares his opinion on the most important aspect of tech on the road.
