In part two, Linda and Dave continue their chat about the creation of a great demo as well as the dos and don'ts from the producer's end. They also discuss the casting perspective on demos and how to ensure you get heard!
About Dave Goldberg:
David has extensive audio and video engineering experience dating back to the late 1980s when editing was still performed with razor blades on reel-to-reel tape. In 1991, he worked on the team that developed SoundLink, Korg's first digital audio workstation, a world-renowned manufacturer of advanced electronic music and professional audio products. In his role, he supported TV and radio stations, post-production facilities, and recording studios throughout the US and Japan, allowing him to build a network of contacts that would later become an invaluable resource.
David founded Digital Waterworx Corporate Communication Production in 1993. Today, the company produces radio and television commercials, corporate videos, audiobooks, podcasts, live events, and other creative media services. Since its inception, the company has worked with an international client base that exceeds 4,000.

About Rebecca Haugh:
Rebecca Haugh, also known as LoveThatRebecca, founded LoveThatImproVO in July 2013 because she personally wanted this kind of online workout service and couldn't find it offered by anyone. VO Improv is many things - sparking creativity, making the neurons and synapses to fire in the brain differently, feeling and embracing the risk, getting thrilled by the wild abandon and scaling to new heights! Sometimes that includes overcoming barriers, making discoveries about our acting. It certainly includes always putting it all back into the beautiful work created with voice.

Let’s talk about Audio Branding! What the heck IS Audio Branding, you ask? In this podcast, host Linda Bruno talks with Jodi Krangle, a voice actor and recording artist. They discuss audio branding, which is a brand sound that represents the identity and values of a brand in a distinctive manner. This includes audio logos, branded functional sounds, brand music, or the brand voice. Krangle was originally a singer before she became a voice actor and she performs in front of geeky fans as part of a small subsection of music called FILK. She also talks about how she got into voiceover by volunteering her time at the CNIB. Finally, they discuss how voice actors can use audio branding to inform their own voiceover brands. Enjoy another laid-back episode on The Voiceover Gurus podcast!
Get more info on Jodi here:
I’ve been a voice actor since 2007 and have worked with clients from major brands all over the world including Dell, BBVA & Kraft. I’m also a singer and in 2015, I put out my own album of jazz, blues and traditional tunes (jodikranglemusic.com). Over the years, and doing what I do, I’ve learned a lot about sound and how it influences people. My own podcast on this subject is called Audio Branding: The hidden gem of marketing.
