**Main Content:**

- [Segment 1: what’s been happening ]

Hello everyone, as I mentioned I returned from LV Cisco live so since then I’ve taken a couple of accent classes but it looks like my current coach has a good favor shining upon her. She’s up for a new full time teaching gig. I hope she gets it,everyone should move forward and I don’t plan to selfish. If she gets the gig she’s going to drop me a couple of names of people who can coach me. I’ve been working on this Australian accent for a bit and it’s coming along. I understand where I’m making my mistakes and what I need to do to fix them. So it’s practice practice practice. I did my last Australian class today so next time I shall jump into German. She suggested that I pick an accent that doesn’t have an English language foundation so my choices were/are German, French, Spanish or Portuguese. There are others but not really interested in those just now.  

- [Segment 2: speaking of interests]

I shall be diving back into audacity training. Tried it a few minutes ago but kept losing track of the class, it’s a pre-recorded webinar, and having to rewind to pickup where I dropped off. After the 3rd time I stopped and started writing this script. There are many steps I need to revisit in the first one but I wanted to tackle the second one so I could build proper templates for various reads. I also need to focus on proper use of the effects in the tool. I’m not sure if I’m using some of them correctly. Also after using an effect it seems to lose it’s settings even though I use the preset function to retain the settings. I open the tool backup and everything is set to zero again. 

- [Segment 3: Youtube channel ]

I tried to do some recording on the bike several times but each time something manages to not go as planned. The first few times were the video settings. I over exposed the recording and it looked terrible. The next was audio. I need to go back to the wired mic rather than rely on the wireless one. It picks up way too much wind and motor sounds because the mic is actually under my chin outside the helmet. I could probably velcro it to the inside but the heat may mess with the glue on the back of the velcro and also mess up the inside of the helmet. I’ll work something out, no worries there.

[Segment 4: Auditions }

Once I get my audacity setup I’ll be leaning heavily into audactions again. Pickn’s have actually been pretty slim of late. Maybe one to 3 pop in my box daily in the last 3 weeks. Could be just summer vacation time and folks are off. Hopefully it’s not AI taking over.

[Segment 5: AI issues]

I’m sure you have all heard about AI and it being used to recreate voices of actors, podcasters, VO artists etc… It’s a big issue that needs addressing because if AI can be used for this then lots of folks shall have their livelihoods taken away. The fear is that “Hollywood” will just repurpose the likeness of current and former performers and do what they want and then charge whatever they want. I’m sure the studios look at this as a way to increase profits. I asked Voices about this as I’ve seen postings for people to provide their voices for research projects. The posting reads that your voice shall not be used to make profit without your consent and not used to make a profit. Voices told me they setup these contracts so that artists are protected from having their likeness stolen and reused without their consent or compensation.

We shall just have to keep our eyes on what transpires and go from their.
