That was terrific and very useful! Loved the "virtual studio slate trick" - brilliant! Pat is wonderful, and I can't wait to see him in person at the Voice 2008 convention in LA!

As a long time student of Pat's, I never miss the chance to listen to anything he has to offer. Even if I've heard it before.
Pat's teaching is ALWAYS worth the price of admission.
But make sure and buckle your safety belts, keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times... cuz you're in for a fantastic and joyous wild ride.
Because of what I've learned from Pat, my booking ratio is light years better than it was before.
Break a lip ya'll!

It's always inspiring whenever I listen to Pat, or read his materials. I've just starting his "Critical skills to voiceover excellence," book...but these "Shameless tricks" are terrific ideas. Thanks Pat, and thanks VOICES.com!

Pat has a great way of boiling down great pearls into easy to get beta. I've been to a few of Pat's workshops and have some of his training material and he is just as solid in both venues.
I love the way he maintains a business savvy sense w/o sacrificing a passion for creativity.
