What is World Gaming Executives and how does GameVoices fit in?

I've been asked a couple of times, 'what is the link between Game Voices and the mobile, games or audio books industry.

GameVoices is part of the World Gaming Executives network, this is formed through many social and business networks.

A brief breakdown of WGE is:

GKN Weekly Update 5/24/10

Hello and welcome back! Not that you went anywhere, but it's nice to

have you nonetheless.

Life is FINALLY getting back to normal for me! I finished recording the audio books for Infinivox and the science

tutorials for Sumanas, which actually turned out to be a companion for a

textbook so it's sort of an audio book, too. Now I can get back on

track. But first, an announcement!

Remember a few months ago when I said I did a video game but I couldn't talk… Continue

Does making a brilliant Voiceover make YOU a Star?

Well, I'd be very interested to hear your feedback on what effect being in a successful video game has created. But viewing some stats to the site today I came across:

GKN Weekly Update 4/12/10

Good morning! Forgive the banality but I couldn't come up with a fake

holiday this time around.

Let's start with a quick word about last week's post. Remember that logo I showed you guys? Well, I can't

use it. Fellow GKN member Rob Sciglimpaglia, who is also a lawyer, said

it's too similar to the John Deere logo. Bummer! I was really excited

about using it. Thanks for the heads up, Rob!

For the past year or so, I've been trying to write less about my… Continue

GKN Weekly Update

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a bunny-tastic day.

This is going to be a kooky week! I have a bunch of great stuff going on.

Mostly voiceovers, but I won't bore you with the details. There are two

things I do want to share, though.

First, remember the film "Last Man of Idaho" I talked about a few weeks ago that I'm narrating? Here's

the movie poster!

Home Studio on a Budget

There's no place like home, especially for a voice-over studio!

The other day, I had to be in Philadelphia. On paper it was a 75 minute drive. I left at 6:00 AM in order to be on time for my 9:00 AM appointment.

You guessed it, I spent most of my time with hundreds, if not thousands of others, stuck in a metal box on wheels, polluting the environment and getting nowhere fast.

I had plenty of time to reflect on the advantages of my home studio. Of course the… Continue

BURSTING THE AUDITION BUBBLE

At the end of a two day “voice-over intensive”, the trainer looked at her students one last time. By the expression on her face they could tell she was about to say something significant.

Her velvet voice had sold millions of sheets of the softest bathroom tissue known to mankind. Anything that came out of her mouth was as good as gold. Star-struck, the students all listened like attention-deprived orphans, waiting to get one last bit of tough… Continue

MAYHEM AT NEWSPAPERS FOR THE BLIND

Posting jobs under false names, not paying invoices and Jekyll and Hyde-treatment of voice-over talent… these appear to be the trademarks of William May.
