David Brower dishes on the huge value of referrals, how to dig them up, and how to capitalize on them for the long term.

A voice artist I follow on Twitter, Lindsay Abbott, writes about the growth of voice in the e-learning industry. I have been finding some success in the space in the last few months as well.

iPad 2: thinner, faster, HDMI out, a white version, dual cameras, iMovie and GarageBand. The mobile platform for voice artists may have just arrived.

I love this book. Period. The amount of information gathered in one place for a voice artist is wonderful. And the fact that you can contact co-author Jeffrey Fisher with questions is really an excellent bonus. I don’t know if it has been updated since it was printed a couple of years ago, since there are some things that have changes in the intervening time (particularly about USB microphones), but it is a book that should be on every home voiceover artist’s shelf.

In light of very recent discussions I have had about search engine optimization, it is important to know that manipulation of search terms and results are an issue that anyone who has something to sell on the Internet has to be aware of. Read what JC Pennys and Overstock.com did to game the system, and consider the singular issue: that Google so far outstrips its competition in search that there is value in doing that gaming for some.

Mahmoud gives local insight to the tide of change that swept over the country and pushed out President Hosni Mubarak, in what many have called the overthrow of the last Pharaoh.
