Bill
Jones in "Amsterdam"...by
Bill Jones
Founding
Member Bill A. Jones is not only a Voice Over Artist, but also works
regularly as an Actor, Radio Personality, Emcee, Singer, and Trade
Show Talent. It was in that last capacity that Bill found himself
in Amsterdam recently.
I just recently returned
from Amsterdam, where I worked as a Corporate Spokesperson for Quantum
Corporation at the IBC Trade Show. The IBC is a major show for Video
professionals in Europe. I did a similar pitch at the NAB in Vegas
for Quantum's Tape Archiving system for Video, which entails me
standing on a little stage and repeating a spiel over and over again.
I did in excess of 20 presentations one day.More.....

Promotion..................By Rick Gordon
Reciprocal Links improve Search
Engine Ranking
Reciprocal links is the online equivalent of word-of-mouth advertising.
And just like its offline cousin, it's the most effective way to
get new business. Reciprocal links between sites that share a common
thread of interest are even better and help both sites upgrade their
ranking status with Search Engines immensely. It's easy to do, it's
free and it works!
CV has put in a lot of hard work and care in building a 'showcase'
link-directory. We value what you have to say and would like to
do our best in extending your reach while you do the same for us.
Everyone in the VO industry is welcome to join us. You do
not have to be a member of CommercialVoices.com to link to us
but keep in mind that "recriprocal" means we both link
to each other. The exercise has no meaning otherwise.
Check out our Links
page do a search to see if you are already listed.
Contact us if you are not there and we will be happy to upload your
link. We trade text for text or graphic for graphic. Sorry but graphic
links must be 171 X 52 pixels in order to retain the integrity of
the page. You can choose from a variety of CV links here.

Nasal
Irrigation: Clearing the Way to Better Voiceovers....By Peter
Drew
Having trouble battling
that major nemesis of voiceover talent, allergies? Got good ol’
post-nasal drip? Dependent on anti-histamines to get you through
every day? One great way to clear up your sinuses and post-nasal
drip is with nasal irrigation. Haven’t tried it? It's been
a common practice in Asia and South Asia for about 4000 years. Maybe
it should become common practice for voice over folks for the next
4000 years. Read on, then give it a try......More
