Disc
Jockeys can't become VoiceOver Artists
by
Doc Phillips
Or, can they? The answer is quite simple. Of course they can. I
did. And, I'm also still working in radio and have been for 30 years.
However, there are some caveats to consider.

Producer's
Corner.
You told me I need monitors!
In May
I related the importance of using monitors for making sonic decision
rather than headphones....
"Great you convinced
me, so what do I need to know about monitors then?"
Good question - it's
not as simple as going to your local store and picking the ones
you like best.... it CAN be, but as with all things audio, there's
more to it than that.
First of all - the most
important thing you have to realize is this: if you can't hear,
or don't hear it properly, you have no way of knowing if something
is recorded properly or not....more
Happy Recording!

Web
site Tips
Google
Sitemaps
About a year ago Google
introduced a new program call Google Sitemaps. Sitemaps allows any
webmaster to create a “Sitemap” of their site and submit
it to Google (for indexing). A Sitemap includes information about
the pages on your site, the importance of the pages, and when those
pages change.
The new tools that accompany
Sitemaps allow a webmaster to learn how Google sees your
site. This would include errors reported by the Google
robot, top searches, violations of Google guidelines and much more.
The benefits
of using Sitmaps are:
Google always has the most up to date information for your site
Avoid costly errors in your site that will reduce your page rank
Learn what search terms result in your site being listed, and in
users clicking through to your site
To get started
with Sitemaps you will need to create a Google account. To create
a Google account visit https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount.
More information on Sitemaps
can be found at https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps
