Hey there, hero!
As I say at the outset of this episode, I really need your help.
I've been getting tons of fearful messages from VO talent. From clients, students, and strangers out of nowhere. Confusion and fear runs throughout these emails from these lovely, struggling artists.
All asking about the surprising standards they are being asked to meet by agents and casting offices regarding their home studios.
I don't want to upset anyone, but it's really bothering me. The help I need from you is how to express this concern to the gatekeepers of our livelihoods...the people who control at least a portion of our income.
PLEASE give me your thoughts on this in the comments below.

0019: Excellent News About Audacity And Catalina

Hey there, hero!
It's almost like a day we never thought would come. But it did.
The new version of Audacity is out, version 2.4.0, and it finally works with macOS Catalina - just in time for us to teach the Home Study edition of the ACX Master Class.
I thought you might like to see the evidence for yourself, so I demo it in the video version of the podcast, and show you how to set it up for use with my Stair Step Method.
I'll be playing with it a lot, and keeping you up to date over the next few weeks. And I'd love to know your thoughts, should you take the plunge.

Hey there, hero!
The previous episode of this podcast:
https://voheroes.com/the-fear-some-vo-talent-are-now-facing/
...has generated the most comment content of any podcast episode I've done. It appears that many more VO talent are concerned about being caught in the "digital performance divide" than I had imagined.
And what you had to say about it sparked an idea for a shootout. I'll give you details in this episode.
I'll also give you an invite (if you catch this early enough) to join Dan and I on Facebook Live, where we're going to do an AMA on audiobook narration and ACX. Here's the link to the live session this afternoon at 1p PT, 4p ET, 9p GMT:
