The Quick and Dirty Guide to the Home Voiceover Industry is a look into the home-based voiceover business, a booming field in the new "gig" economy. Professional independent voice artist and audiobook narrator Andrew Scott Montgomery walks you through the decision-making process to help you decide if home-based VO work is a potential business—or even a hobby—that might fit you well. Full of real-world anecdotes, laughs, and hard truths, this book is less "how to" and more "should you?" but with plenty of useful insights into the real world of pro voiceover work. With foreword by Mike DelGaudio (of YouTube's BOOTH JUNKIE channel), Andrew aims to aid those considering this field of work by helping them make a well-informed decision before even plugging in a mic.Voir livre
This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 1: Many people have had the pleasure to listen to Mozart’s music. His legacy has lived on for more than two centuries. And although he only lived to be 35 years old, he has had a major impact on the classical music genre. From simple rebel to sheer genius, this intelligent composer has shown the world that despite all the odds, masterpieces and pure art can become a reality. Learn about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the composer and musician who wrote the “The Four Seasons” and traveled to Vienna, Amsterdam, Brussels, and all over Germany to lead violinists and others to create heavenly tunes. 2: Most people have heard of Ludwig von Beethoven, one of the most famous composers of all time. His music had a certain aggression, passion, and beauty to it that still brings admirers to tears, more than 200 years later. His symphonies came from his creativity, the circumstances, and the trends in that time period in Germany and Austria. There is much to say about the historical context, the deep experiences, and the studies that Beethoven encountered during his life. All of these contributed to the mastermind of his time, who could come up with masterpieces and complicated musical art, despite his hearing problem (or because of it). Explore the world of 19th-century Beethoven, the musical genius that remains a mystery to so many people, but no longer to you after you read or listen to this book.Voir livre

TRIVIA SAMPLES: “The entire film was shot in just seven and a half weeks.” “Although it looks thoroughly off-putting, the feces in the "Worst Toilet in Scotland" scene was actually made from chocolate and smelled quite pleasant.” “Kelly Macdonald, in her naiveté, invited her mother and brother to the set while filming her sex scene with Ewan McGregor.” “Due to a tight budget, many scenes had to be shot in a single take.” “Ewen Bremner (Spud) had previously played Renton in a stage adaptation of the novel.”Voir livre

A compact and charming history of the classic Enlightenment font by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. When Baskerville was first created in 1757, there was concern that it would damage readers' eyes with its combination of thin and thick strokes and tapering serifs. Yet 250 years later, it remains one of the most commonly used typefaces in books of all kinds. As bestselling author Simon Garfield tells it, the tale of this elegant typeface is one of painstaking dedication. The font's creator, John Baskerville, was a maverick lacquer maker and master printer who made it his life's mission to achieve the font's perfection. His efforts culminated in his magnificent Bible, acclaimed as the finest ever made. Garfield explores why Baskerville's own body was dug up and buried many times before finally being allowed to rest in peace, and examines his legacy through the work of his wife, Sarah Baskerville—one of the first powerful women in the printing world—and the archivists and enthusiasts working to preserve the font's original steel punches today.Voir livre
