I was actually quite pleased listening to Mr. Shaw. This is another reason why Voice Over Experts is a "must listen".
Whatever you do, don't stop preparing these delightful nuggets.

Great podcast, very informative! Is this specially recorded, or taken from the cd accompanying your book? If so, I really must look into that one! Thank you!

Hello Jurjen. These 'Podcasts' were recorded about 2 or 3 years ago in a hot basement studio in London and were intended - and indeed used - as part of an excellent series of instructional CDs from Creative Edge Audio. I am delighted that they are being used here and that people are finding them helpful. They are not connected in any way to my book or the bundled CD. So, if you were to buy it, you would not be getting things you had already heard. However the underlying philosophy remains the same: Use who and what you are as the solution to someone else's problem and charge them for it!
