The Making Wavs VO Podcast

Vacation and VO on the ROAD!

One of the great things about being a voice actor is that we work for ourselves. One of the bad things? We work for ourselves. This means we need to work as much as we can including ON VACATION! However, creating a “studio” on the road is CHALLENGING!

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. For more information on Jerry and George’s upcoming events, click below.
