  • Good in for for VO artists, but....

    I find out ironic that the "experts" in audio can't or don't have the ability to regulate their volume. I play the episodes straight through and some parts are low that I have to turn up the volume... sometimes George is blaringly loud and Dan sounds far away from the mic. Their intro is loud af, as are their commercials. It just takes away from them touting their expertise.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GTT Spotlight: Voiceover Audio Engineer and Demo Producer Henry Willard
Q: What's your view on AI and automation in audiobook production?
He acknowledges automation as a tool but stresses that final quality requires human listening across the entire work, with a proofer involved for assurance.
GTT Spotlight: Voiceover Audio Engineer and Demo Producer Henry Willard
Q: How do you approach demo production to feel authentic yet be commercially effective?
He highlights personalizing demos through palette calls, careful music and sound design to support the voice, and crafting a six-spot hexagon of varied but authentic material.
GTT Spotlight: Voiceover Audio Engineer and Demo Producer Henry Willard
Q: Tell me a little bit about what you do for voice actors and producers.
Henry explains that he works directly with voice actors to run remote sessions, manage playback, and ensure the delivery fits the client's needs, occupying roughly 70% of his time with actors and 30% with production teams.
GTT Trusted Partner Profile: Video Game & Animation Voice Casting Director Kim Hurdon
Q: How has the shift to home studios and remote recording impacted casting for AAA games?
Casting has become more global and flexible, with hub studios and remote direction allowing sessions to happen across countries while maintaining quality and consistency.
GTT Trusted Partner Profile: Video Game & Animation Voice Casting Director Kim Hurdon
Q: What's one thing voice actors think helps them book the gig, but actually hurts their chances?
Over-editing and removing breaths or overly tight performances can hurt because directors want natural pacing and the illusion of a real conversation.
