In real life I don't hear those fucking annoying beeping noises when I'm about to die.
though maybe that might be a good warning indicator.

This. I don't know whose smooth voice is on there, but it needs to be on more. A great mix.As short as the sample is, I would say this is some of the best vocals I have heard on OC. -

SAO is great. Well, more of the first season, personally.
Really didn't like the second season. We went from a badass Asuna to a helpless fairy Asuna who's trapped in a parlor owned by a pervert that just wants to touch her boobs.
This. I SO wish I had just turned off the series, because the first season was very powerful; the last episode was great. I was totally and utterly confused when I realized that there were more episodes afterwards, and utterly disappointed for the entirety of it. But I will recommend season 1 to anyone, anyday.

It would also be beneficial to you to try and aim for certain macros in your eating.
I was almost positive this was just short for "macaronis"

Even though it doesn't even seem like I did a lot, I almost threw up several times. I really look forward to when I can ramp up the intensity and get through more sets of this stuff.
15 minutes of that is really tough; it's basically the formula that Bodeefit.com uses. It's no joke...you want to die after that stuff.

So what you're saying is the man cave has been relegated to the attic?
It's above the garage, which I kind of prefer.

Thanks guys. I don't have plans for the room yet because I haven't bought the house; what I was mostly worried about was the vaulted ceiling. It appears to peak at about 10 feet or so, judging by the size of the bicycles in the back, but I'll be seeing the house this week.
(That's right I haven't seen the place yet; only my wife has and she came home gushing like a girl talking about her fairy castle, so I'm obligated to go see it)

Hi Guys,
We're thinking of moving into a house, and one of the deciding factors is whether or not I can put a studio in it. The room in this house seems awesome; it's a workshop above the garage that's on its way to being finished.
The picture is here.
I'm looking to draw on the acoustic mastery of the people here - will this room cause me problems from a mixing and production standpoint? This may literally swing us one way or another on this house. I have a vocal booth that is soundproof, so my voiceovers are not an issue. But for mixing and producing music on a pair of monitors, is this room treatable for good acoustics or does the slanted ceiling make for a very bad situation for me?
Thanks!

Wait, have the moderators been fired as well, or is it time to engage in a sort of Hunger Games to make sure that only one of us lives?

I rank them 1.) Rockbarn, 2.) Wiberg 3.)Vayron 4.) Fulginiti.
Vayron's site is nice...if I were a pop star. It's got the right feel for that, but not the right feel at all for a VO artist, I don't think.
Wiberg's site is nice, if very Flashy with a capital F. Simple layout, though. But I like Rockbarn's site the best because it's all up front and the content is easy to browse.
Fulginiti's site is way too busy, full of square shapes, and just...I don't like it.
Thanks you guys for the opinions on the site design. I've only gotten maybe 3 people on OCR who are saying they'd be willing to do it for me, though, so if there are any other folks actually willing to DESIGN and BUILD the site, please hit me up. I do appreciate the critique and marketing advice, though.

I just heard of this yesterday and thought back to this post:
You can basically list yourself as an authoritative source on any subject, after which you may/may not be contacted by people looking to gather sources for an article. You can also find queries already posted where someone is looking for someone who knows a lot about gaming, and pitch a reply to them. Might be a little more work, but definitely a way to expand your platforming reach.

Beware : 68 minutes
This may be part of your problem. I might break this up into songs and post them one at a time (not all at once) and engage in dialog with people. Asking someone for 68 minutes of their time is a bit much, I think.

I updated the example links with some better examples of good websites in the industry...the other guys were mostly people I knew to be successful.
Yes, yes! I don't like the RenManStudio website for a number of reasons, which is why I want to ditch it. I appreciate you guys supporting me in telling me how bad it is though

Have a happy, Cory!

Joe! Avashi is a killer player! I may have the opportunity to see him in Montreal this summer.
DO IT. I'm telling you, man, when I saw him in Tel Aviv he had an oud player and a flute player with him that were both fucking KILLER. That place was jumpin' easily one of the most fun concerts I've ever seen.

On what? If you're there and can justify it, go ahead and justify it. I think that's the first I'd gotten an idea how far your voiceover career is actually going.
I quit my day job
Additionally, and not something I'm pleased to admit, if I went further, I'd technically have to start charging for further consultation (since that's essentially what I'm doing here and one part of what I do at the firm) unless I owe you a favor. Kind of a dick move I totally agree, but in the spirit of things here... you kinda understand I think.
I do. I'm also not above becoming a paying client if you can show me some real power and how I can harness it like an Esper.

You need to be looking at a website that resonates with established professionals when you yourself are currently resonating with established professionals.
If you are, then I'd say you're justified to pay that, but what it sounds like is that you're using your website as the vehicle to get you several rungs up the ladder. This mostly does not work. You need a website that REFLECTS your position in the industry, not one that tries to put you there.
I think I am there. I have some big names under my belt (Red Bull, GE, Lenovo, etc) so thought it was time to start acting like voiceover artist that pulls in the clients I'm pulling. I'm definitely doing as much work as the guys I posted (with the exception of maybe Blum, whose page is, yes, shit). So, yeah, that's why I'm taking a marketing turn and trying to put brand on that level to catch up with my career, if that makes any sense. I'm trying not to be a pretentious prig in saying that I'm doing well enough, but I think I'm doing well enough.
Don't get me wrong, your insight is awesome and I totally appreciate the years of marketing/web experience you're taking the time to write and want to hear more if you have more advice to give. So I'm not just telling you to stop poo-pooing things and stroke my ego.

thanks, will look and get back to you

I don't know what it's like being a voice over actor
It's actually mostly like this:
Thanks for the feedback!

I use a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14, and I've had it for years. It fits snugly in your price range, I believe, unless something has changed, and the preamps are generally rated to be some of the best (I was told by someone helping me pick it out that the preamps are considered better than the M Box).

Erm, not to react, but this seems kind of unnecessarily harsh. If you're going to complain (not that you have, I am being hypothetical) that resumes are more than 1 page, but then also complain that a candidate doesn't want to waste space typing out names of people...I dunno. This seems like a really silly reason to throw out an application.
EDIT: Further, you give no reason why this is the most unprofessional thing ever. I would think like, profanity in a resume might be better qualified
. But really, what makes this so unprofessional?
