Along with learning the voiceover profession this past year, I have also taken it upon myself to learn as much as possible about the quickly emerging world of social media. I have a fan page and a twitter account. I post occasionally to my linkedin account as well. Socially I also have a twitter account and I am experimenting with foursquare. I don't mention any of this soliciting you as a friend/fan/follower/etc (unless you want to, then by all means, click the links above), I say this because all of this involvement usually leads to one response whenever I am talking to others at social events, "how do you have time for all of that?". Or, my favorite, "I just don't have time to do that". I have learned that it is all quite easy to keep track of and stay on top of it all. It is like anything else. Let it manage you and you're toast. Learn how to manage it and there are no issues.
I just started combining two of my loves this week and I think I may have found a way to buy another 2-3 hours a week! I am a runner, and I am beginning to train for a half marathon in April. My typical workouts at the gym consist of 30-45 minutes on the treadmill. So, now I am downloading podcasts and listening to them as I run.
I was a little worried that this would not keep my attention. But that could not have been further from the truth. I found that the woman's voice on my Nike + told me I was "10 minutes" into my run before I even knew it. Yes, this means a little less time with my favorite bands each week, but I can see a balance of podcasts and playlists as I begin to ramp up my running.
So, any good podcasts out there I should be subscribing to? I would be interested in shows about social media or voiceover work. Suggestions?
