Its been a long couple months of preparing to start a new job (which I am oh so very excited about) plus enduring the Cumulus move in Dallas, in my current job. So, after taking a little time away from talking to the paramount figures in Radio Imaging and Voiceover I am back with a really fun interview. Matt Fisher at BBC-Radio 1 in the UK is the guest. He is actually one of 6 different...

For Matt I posted all the audio he sent me. The DEMO file is long and has some duplication so you may want to hear the others first.

I always like to inform my fellow producers about cool new services. And….here is a cool new service!
SD-Depot from Chris Fonte: I have respected Chris’ work for quite some time and this was a refreshing nugget to stumble across. I asked him a little about it. It’s a constantly updated service with a monthly fee (or pay a little more for a single month). You can also...

This may be very elementary but one of those things you need to be taught at least once. Its a very quick and easy way to get an effective “scary” voice for Halloween audio. Anyone with any sort of DAW can do it. All you need is pitch shift. I explain in audio form below with examples but here is a quick run down.
Take any dry VO audio. You will triple it up on three...

I am proud to have the duo of Mike Crank and Trevor Shand at CBS Radio, Los Angeles on the show. They are responsible for Jack FM and KROQ respectively but have a very open structure to collaborate creatively. You will hear plenty of audio, old and new, and get the inside scoop on their new book, Braindead Creative Help. There are other books written about production of music and even audio...

You also get to hear some old school Crank Prod and a few funny tales of radio. I think I try to get them to fight,...

Joe has been neck deep in radio sound design from all angles for decades. He is generous, knowledgeable and has experience that few if anyone else have in common. As anyone who has been to my site has noticed AV Deli has been a huge supporter of this podcast for almost 2 years. AV Deli is a great service in which I take part. But if you are looking for a 40 minute advertisement for them...

It turns out someone wanted to interview me. I think it would be pretty darn hypocritical for me to say no . Actually, I really respect what the guys at Benztown do on the web and with their many services so its a no-brainer. I won’t say too much about it here except a couple side-notes.
1. I was pretty long winded. Sorry.
2. I tried not edit myself. I wrote all my answers...

I am very grateful to be joined by John Willyard this month. He is the longtime voice of Country Radio. I say that as an obvious generalization because when you talk about the “sound” of country radio and the station voices that are used, he is at the very top of the list and used by the biggest and most important stations around the country. John is not limited to country...

Part 2 continues with John Willyard. The intro audio is from K-Bull 93FM which he has been a part of for a very long time and demonstrates some of his range and also what a pretty creative PD can do on a country station, if he isn’t afraid of barriers.

Kelly3 posted this on FB and CC posted it on their website so I will help them find the best possible person by posting it here.
It has to be one of the more awesome Imaging gigs to come open in a while. I won’t speculate as to what EXACTLY the producer would be doing but you would be working with one of the most creative groups and for some of the biggest stations in America. ...

Headshot of Rick Allen
Rick Allen has been oft requested and now finally a guest on the show. In fact if it weren’t for a lost email a couple years ago he would have already been a guest. Technology! This was a really fun and informative interview for me. I love waxing on the past and to do so with a guy like Rick was a unique experience. This episode comes in 3 parts and each...
