Dervla Trainor: V.O. North Returns

We last spoke to Dervla Trainor back in 2019. Dervla is the
founder and co-owner of the V.O. North conference, and it was
getting to that point where the event was creating FOMO (Fear of
Missing Out) for people in the Voice over community. Sadly, the
pandemic caused a disruption to that momentum with 2020 being
shifted online and 2021 postponed. However, the event is back and
better than ever September 16-18 at the Pantages Hotel in
Toronto.


Check out the lineup and show here.


In this episode, Dervla speaks to us about the genesis of the
event, how she has steered her way through the voiceover business
during the pandemic, and what we can expect in Toronto at
Canada's premiere Voiceover event. We also briefly discussed some
of the newer problems in the business with the emergence of
Artificial intelligence, pricing and keeping control on where
your voice goes. There are also the most useful of session
involving marketing, search engine optimization and CRM's. The
conference is open to beginners and experts alike. While not
advertised as such, there is a lot of mentoring that takes places
at V.O. North.


We also talked about Bev Standing's unique story which was
recently featured on the podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz
