In this episode of the VO Bar podcast, Victoria, Will, and Al dive into voiceover conferences, sharing their candid experiences, insights, and a few laughs along the way. With their diverse backgrounds and locations—from the heart of Minnesota to the desert southwest, our hosts bring unique perspectives to the table. They discuss the pros and cons of events like SOVAS, VO Atlanta, and One Voice. The conversation is not just about the sessions and workshops; it's about the essence of these gatherings—the networking, the learning, and the sometimes daunting decision of whether to attend based on the fear of missing out (FOMO).

Listeners will find themselves nodding along as the hosts discuss the realities of conferences located inconveniently close to airports, the unexpected joys of meeting peers and mentors, and the glittering allure of award ceremonies. The episode is peppered with personal anecdotes, from the excitement of winning awards and the cost of claiming trophies to the humorous yet practical advice about networking etiquette (hint: don't approach casting directors in the restroom!).

Whether you're contemplating your first voiceover conference or you're a seasoned attendee weighing the benefits of your next event, this episode of the VO Bar is your companion. It's not just about raising the bar in your voiceover career; it's about finding your voice, making genuine connections, and sometimes, just enjoying a good laugh over a Havana staycation drink. So pull up a seat, bring your beverage, and let's navigate the bustling world of voiceover conferences together!
