10 Words Of Encouragement When You’re Stuck
Hey there!
I want to chat with you today about our progress.
Or, on occasion, our lack of progress.
It’s easier to quit, to give up, to stop and declare failure to get something done than it is to really take a look at how much you’ve achieved and how much you’ve experienced.
That’s what these 10 words are all about.
Changing Audacity’s Sampling Rate To 48,000 Hz
Hey there!
Got this note from a client today:
David,
I’m working with a producer on an audiobook (outside of ACX) and he wants me to send him the raw audio in what he calls 48000. What does that mean and how do I do that?
Karen
It’s actually pretty easy, but it’s not advisable. Either way, here’s the answer.
One More Best-Of-Breed Way To Brilliantly Complain
Hey there!
One of the very first videos in this series dealt with my take on how you can be a world-class complainer.
I gave you three best practices for maximizing your success when posting in discussion groups.

How To Battle The Urge of “Efficiency”
Hey there!
Ever notice how faster things move these days? How easy it is to acquire something, and how much the people that supply us with those somethings try to reduce the friction?
Like Amazon now delivering most things next day to Prime members? Or how quickly a pizza can be baked in modern, conveyor-belt ovens?

What about substituting the urge to hurry with the urge to be as slow as we need to be? What if we value effectiveness over efficiency?
On Asking For Things Performers Can’t Do
Hey there!
So this happened: some guy decided the best way to vent about our current President was to go on Twitter and ask celebrities to stop appearing in commercials, if those commercials would be appearing on FOX News.
It shows just how much civilians do not have a clue about what we do for a living.
Leo Makes Your Searching Spectacular
Hey there!
I’ve known Leo Notenboom for almost 20 years, and he’s one of the smartest people I know.
He’s also one of the nicest.
He runs a site for Windows users (he used to work at Microsoft himself) called Ask Leo! and he recently wrote an article that I had to share with you.
In it, he gives you the two biggest mistakes people make when they search for things online, and two really simple habits to use to make searching really, really effective.
And there’s a bonus mistake I’ll leave you to discover in the article itself.

Fred Willard (and Billy West) On Quickly Creating Authentic VO Characters
Hey, there!
I was thinking about this idea of how hard it can be for a character’s voice to come out of your mouth. It should, just by reading the script, but sometimes, we can be at a loss.
And I thought, how can I help you make that easier by sharing my process?
Well, my process draws on the wisdom of Fred Willard and Billy West.
Here’s what I often do.
