Vimeo Voiceover Group for Voice Over Artists

YouTube is great for sharing videos of your coworkers tripping over a chair or your cat swatting at a lazer. However, if you are a Voice Over talent and want to share something that looks and sounds professional with video and audio that isn't overcompressed like it is on YouTube, then Vimeo is the way to go. Sure, millions of people will see your work on YouTube...but they are more likely to be people that have nothing to do with professional video or audio production. So far, the comments and messages I have received via YouTube have been from under-30 audio hobbyists who do not seem to have any real profession. Vimeo is full to the brim with media producers, directors, filmmakers, and writers. You know, the people who are actually worth knowing? With this in mind, I set up the first Voiceover group on Vimeo in September 2010. I didn't actively promote it, but I still got some voice over talents that I admire like Chris Turbiville, Joe J. Thomas, Brad Venable, Andy Boyns, Paul Strikwerda, and Mary McKitrick among others to join. Even the excellent Catalan VO talent Penelope Saray is a member. In 2012, I will be actively promoting the group and trying to recruit new members. Too often we hear voiceovers without seeing how it all comes together with picture, and frankly YouTube doesn't do justice for the fine work that voice over people and media creatives do - the picture and the audio is just too compressed. Vimeo provides excellent audio and picture. Looking forward to having you be a part of our group whether you are a Voice Over Talent or have any role in media production.
