Welcome! I'm Atlanta-based American male Voiceover Talent Lance Blair, providing broadcast and corporate narration voiceovers, commercial voiceovers, voiceover for e-learning, website and CD-ROM voiceovers. This is my little nook where I try and bring sanity to the wacky VO world. Let's talk shop (or shoppe?) a bit but also let's not talk shop and have some fun. Ok? Ok.

The Voice Over Studio and Pintrest
I joined up on Pintrest which is kind of like a place to share your likes visually, creating (or "curating" as Pintrest puts it) pictures of the art/media or things that interest you. A lot of fun, and it's neat to see what people like. You can get all kinds of ideas about clothes, cooking, travel, etc. So far, I've put up a board of public art and architecture from here in Atlanta, and now I've added a second board of picture links of what pieces of equipment I use here in the Audio Cave at The Lance Blair House of Voice Overs. Of all the gear, the acoustic panels have meant more for my sound than microphones. This morning I compared old recordings I did with the TLM 103 without the acoustic treatment and it just wasn't focused at all. The Sennheiser MK 4 is a great mic for voice over, but it definitely attains its full potential in a good sounding room. The Focusrite ISA One Preamp is excellent in that it has four input impedance settings (600, 1.2k, 2.4k, and 6.8kohms) and a nice Swedish Lundhahl output transformer. The Fast Track Ultra has quality converters, such flexible routing that I don't need a mixer anymore (even for phone patch), and works great as a stand-alone studio in a box when travelling. I've even used it without electricity recording in the car with a laptop (muffled in the trunk). Now with Pintrest, I can just edit the board of images as the studio changes over time.
