Windows 10
I got the notice in my tray that I could get a free upgrade to Windows 10
I read all the previews.
I read all the dire warnings.
I checked with equipment manufacturers sites to verify compatibility.

Robin Williams, Sam Kinison, and a Demon walk into a bar…

Update!
The original link to the article and quiz no longer works.
I’ve updated it to the new link to “Do You Have the Right Stuff for Voice Acting?”

They encouraged the readers to answer honestly, and said that at the end I would “receive a general evaluation that may help you determine what’s next for your career”… Which goes counter to most of what the Backstage article posits. But what the heck – I’m game!

Fiverr Ten
A desperate guy named Ted
Wrote a Fiverr ad which read:
“For five bucks I’ll voice”
“Whatever’s your choice”
“And for ten you’ll get breakfast in bed!”
DAW, Doh!
Is your system a Mac or PC?
AIF, WAV, MP3?

It’s important to know
What’s better? Protools or Adobe?
