Using Hotkeys What are they

Hotkeys

For those who don't know, Hotkeys are usually built in ways to use a particular button on a keyboard, mouse or peripheral that will perform an action in a software for you.

Hotkeys are a primary way of speeding up your workflow

Think of where you put your fingers as you type emails.

Are you usually hitting A,S,D, W  a lot?

Imagine if CUT on your editing software was on the (S) key.

Imagine if PLAY was on your (SPACE) key.

Imagine if RENDER was on your middle mouse button.

If you go one step further, you could also get a MACRO function which will record multiple keystrokes, which could be placed on one of those very usable keys.

Here's a link to a video from Everything Voice Over talking all about how to use hotkeys on the
Logitech G13.



Watch it and you'll see the possibilities of speeding up your auditions.

VoicesUS Review (A Site Directory)

Hey Everyone,

So, I recently put up a video review of VoicesUs on Everything Voice Over and it was kind of an interesting situation. The video got a direct response from the voicesus team.

Basically, my situation was that I paid for this site back in JANUARY and since then I received NOTHING. No job opportunites not even an email. So, admittedly, I thought it was a scam because it had a "LIFETIME" membership.

After a little back and forth with their representative, I found that they are SOLELY a directory site. You're $100 gets you a profile, that's it. Unfortunately, there are some misleading aspects of it talking about client reviews BUT as per the website, it does give you what it offers.

So, beware, if you want to be part of this site, you may want to be prepared for radio silence because it is solely a directory. Is it worth the $100? Not to me. (at least not yet)

Here's the review of voicesus.com
