VO Technical Help
These days, if you are a Voice talent you really are the chief cook & bottle washer…or in our case, chief talent, engineer and editor. That means that you’ll be using a lot of equipment. If you need help setting that equipment up, or figuring out why what you have isn’t working right, or setting up your home studio, get in touch with George Whittam aka George The Tech! George is the go-to guy for working voice talent. He can help in person if you are in the Los Angeles area, or remotely via email, phone, Skype, and screen sharing so he can control and see your computer. He really knows it all…and his daughter is the cutest!
