A Magical Weekend at MAVO
In this episode of the VO Boss Podcast, we reminisced about our recent experience at the Mid-Atlantic Voiceover Conference (MAVO). We both raved about the intimate setting, high-caliber speakers, and the unique opportunity to connect with industry peers.
Key Takeaways from MAVO:
A Focus on Quality: MAVO, though a smaller conference, boasts a disproportionate number of top-tier speakers.
Diverse Topics: From character animation to business strategies, the conference offered a wide range of topics to cater to various interests.
Networking Opportunities: The smaller size of MAVO facilitated meaningful connections with fellow voice actors, casting directors, and industry experts.
AI and the Future of Voiceover: We discussed the growing importance of understanding AI and its potential impact on the industry.
The Value of Business and Marketing: We emphasized the significance of business and marketing skills, even for talented voice actors.
Conference Strategies for First-Timers:
Plan Ahead: Create a schedule of sessions you want to attend.
Take Effective Notes: Use a combination of note-taking apps and physical notebooks.
Network Strategically: Exchange contact information and connect with fellow attendees.
Attend Business and Marketing Sessions: Don't neglect the business side of voiceover.
Find a Note-Taking Buddy: Collaborate with a fellow attendee to maximize your learning.
Final Thoughts:
MAVO 2024 was a resounding success, offering a valuable learning experience and a chance to connect with the voiceover community. We encourage all voice actors to consider attending future conferences to expand their knowledge and network.
