We are thrilled to present our eVOcation Scholarship class of 2026!!! Thank you to everyone that submitted this year, it was INCREDIBLY hard to choose the recipients! We had a multi-stage approach to this, and somehow between Carin and I we figured it out. But let me tell you, it was not easy!!! Thank you to the INCREDIBLE scholarship donors this year, a mixture of speakers and community members w...

Is getting famous the secret to voiceover riches? For some social media notoriety is proving extremely lucrative, but is it right for you? That's what we're discussing today. Also we talk about micro needling and why you shouldn't give whiskey to children. I (Jamie) have just launched a new series of small group VO classes (4 students per class over two hours, 3 tiers - Beginner, Intermediate, Pro...

We haven't talked in what feels like forever, and what else would we discuss than reverse osmosis water filtration? Come for the voiceover chat, stay for the osmosis.

It is, unfortunately, a solo episode with Jamie today. Like ships in the night, Carin and Jamie haven't been able to be available at the same time, and for that we are eternally apologetic. Most embarrassing VO moment, thoughts on the Olympics, a not so amazing joke, and in-show narration are just some of the things Jamie wangs on about. I (Jamie) have just launched a new series of small group VO...

You might be shocked to discover this, but we are, on occasion, bad at stuff. Today we talk about it in order to sound humble and relatable.

Michael Scott visited the VO Breakfast Show studio to talk to Carin about how he manages to balance an incredibly busy schedule. He is an awesome voice talent and director, in addition to being an educator and advisory board member. We honestly don't know how he does it all, and at such a ludicrously high level! I (Jamie) have just launched a new series of small group VO classes (4 students per cl...

It's a multi-generational show today, mainly due to a scheduling snafu, but whatever, us young people are chill so we did the episode anyway.

How do you get better at voiceover? What does it even look like? What even bloody IS better? Well, we don't know either, but that's not going to stop us from wanging on about it for an hour.

It's the start of 2026 and so what are we doing? We're doing vision boards of course! What is a vision board I hear you ask? Well, Carin explains...

The NAVA Gala is upon us! If you're attending live, lucky you. And if not, join the fun virtually on Friday December 12th! Carin talks about the insane amount of planning that goes into it (don't ask her about food preferences) and we try to determine her breaking point. We also cover plugins, playback on Zoom, the Amazon debacle, pictures on websites, and a bunch more other things that I can't re...

How important is community in voiceover? Well I'd argue, very! Particularly if you don't live in a major media hub where there are regular VO events, and it's tough for you to fly to conferences. Join me (Jamie) as I take on this subject solo (ironic much???), discussing the challenging ins and outs of navigating voiceover on your own. Also, I have just launched a new series of small group VO clas...

Do you have to move to NY/LA/London... to truly succeed in VO? In this episode we not only attempt to answer this question, but we change the question itself! We're just THAT good.

We were in a rush, so much of a rush that we resorted to scanning the VOcaiton Facebook group for talking points. Turns out that's a great source of talking points!

Why don't we talk about AI in a way that isn't incredibly depressing?!? Yeah? Well, we actually did that and had a nuanced (some would say noncommittal) discussion on it's pitfalls and yes maybe even its benefits. Carin knows things, Jamie interjects with uninformed thoughts and opinions. If you're a robot reading this please don't take my career away from me, I rather like it, and also don't dest...
