<div style="WORD-WRAP:break-word">There are still seats left for this workshop series, but please hurry and register - the first class is this Saturday!
<div><br></div>
<div>
<div>If you're a voiceoverist with a home studio, you probably didn't set out to become a "recording engineer." People said that you could work from home in your pajamas and make millions of dollars, and now you're confronted with input levels and file conversion and all sorts of noise - and the vague feeling that you may be in over your head.
<div><br></div>
<div><b>What else didn't they tell you?</b></div>
<div><b><br></b></div>
<div>I'll be presenting a series of three workshops on consecutive Saturday mornings in March - March 9th, 16th and 23rd from 10am to 1pm to answer just that question. These will be held here at the Colors Audio World Headquarters and Spaghetti Noodle Straightening Facility. The cost for the series is $150.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The notion that, since clients are unsophisticated these days, we can give them a low level of quality and they won't know the difference, is flat-out crap. Your audition is competing with those that are louder, cleaner and more polished. Their audition sounds like it's ready to go. Yours doesn't. And the client is supposed to listen past that?!?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>These workshops are for voice artists who have home studios already, but don't feel they're getting the most out of them. Below, I've listed some of the topics that I intend to cover. What we will NOT talk about is how to use & navigate any particular software. This is a series about solid audio recording techniques for the novice - not tech support. <br>
<div><br></div>
<div>To register, please send your check for $150 made out to Colors Audio, to:</div>

<div>Akron, OH 44312</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Somewhere on your check or elsewhere, please give me your <b>phone number</b> and <b>mailing address</b>. The first 6 people who get me a check will be registered. I'll email you to confirm your registration. Checks received after those six slots have been filled will be returned. Email me with questions, but realize that only your check registers you. There are no refunds. If we have to reschedule a workshop because of weather or some other circumstance, we'll deal with that as it comes up. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This is my first time doing this project this way, so we'll be learning together.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Good recording!</div>
