2018 VO Atlanta Recap with our Scholarship Winners!

"Don't worry if your job is small,

And your rewards are few.

Remember that the mighty oak,

Was once a nut like you."

     -Anonymous

This little poem has been the mantra for my growth in the voiceover industry. Three years ago, I thought I was nuts for even considering giving it a shot. Having planted the dream-seed of a career in VO, watering it with sound choices and a lot of hard work, I applied for the Carol Joy Scholarship for VO Atlanta AND GOT THE NOD.  In my 2017 application, I have to confess a bit of bravado, saying something to the effect of, “I’ll make it to VO Atlanta, even if I have to take the shoe leather express to get there”.  Well, because of the generosity of the selection committee, I was able to attend, save all that shoe leather, and not panic when post-convention bills arrived. For that, I am eternally grateful.  Being selected by the committee was proof positive that the little nut of my VO career has blossomed. As the largest industry conference going, I am proud to have my name connected with VO Atlanta. What was surprising was that the Scholarship winners from the previous year were kind enough to reach out to the next graduating class for a very useful “Here’s what you can expect” session, as well as an invitation to contact them with any other questions or concerns. I hear this is a new tradition, and it is one I plan to continue, reinforcing VO Atlanta’s environment of welcoming hospitality.

As for the conference ITSELF? Days after, I am still smiling to myself and overwhelmed at the personalities I was privileged enough to meet, and the lessons they were kind enough to provide. Even among the grandest of grand voiceover mighty oaks, they made a sapling like me feel noteworthy, and the up-and-coming saplings like myself got to meet, share war stories over some of the GREAT meals served over the conference, and create ties that will last long after the close of ceremonies, setting the stage for grand reunions in 2019. If it is possible to feel exhausted AND refreshed, that would describe what I’m feeling after my VO Atlanta experience. I’m not where I’m going to be, but I’m sure not where I was. With the big oaks sending some sunshine my way, they remind me that I’m not as nuts as I thought I was, and with the wisdom provided during the event, my growth in the industry will be incremental until I stand with the rest of the mighty oaks and can bend to send sunshine to the next hopeful seed.

Thank you, VO Atlanta selection committee. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

It’s because of the generosity of veteran Voice Actors like Anne, and their consistent willingness to give back to the VO community that newer, up and coming, artists like myself are able to attend incredible events like VO Atlanta, and learn so much to propel my career forward. Thanks again to VO Peeps, and VO Boss for being such a great resource for the voicing community!

Some thoughts from a newbie:

- First to Anne Ganguzza, Thank-you for giving me the opportunity to attend this wonderful event through your yearly scholarship program. Your generosity allowed me to allocate extra money to X-Sessions and take home so much more than memories.

- To the presenters and other attendees at the X-Sessions I took in: Tom Pinto, Christi Bowen, Kim Handysides, Anne Ganguzza, Tim Keenan and Cliff Zelman; You people rock!! Not only knowledgeable, but fun. Great information and instruction. Thank-you.

- To the many news friends I met, particularly Damon, Scott, Randy, Jon, Alan, Sam, Tim, David, Uncle Roy and Don. Thank-you for making these 4 days so much fun, and inspirational. Some people say it, but I mean it - I will not lose touch with any of you.

- To anyone who has ever waffled about attending. I know what financial constraints are about, but try to have one less coffee, drop Netflix for 3 mos, give up a concert ticket, whatever... just try and budget to be able to find a way to attend. The personal sacrifices you make through the year will all be worth it!!

- Finally to Gerald Griffith and the entire VOA staff. ???. Your efforts, which quietly happen behind the scenes 361 days before this event, make the 4 days of this event incredible. Thank-you for all you do, to make all of us feel so special.

See you all in 2019, and much success for the rest of the year!

VO Peeps Scholarship Fund Awards over $30,000 in Scholarships and aid to Voiceover community

VO PEEPS EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND CONTINUES TO GROW!!

What began as an entrepreneurial vision of one girl, Anne Ganguzza, VO PEEPS CREATOR and FOUNDER of the VO Peeps Career Education Scholarship Fund,  has now evolved into one of the most exciting and PLUGGED IN places to be for the Voice Over Community!  The rapid growth of the popular global networking group since its inception in 2009, led Anne to seek ways in which to give back to the community, and the VO Peeps Career Education Scholarship Fund was born.

VO Peeps Scholarship Funds Reaches $31,458 - as of 02/2017! 

The fund, established in January of 2012,  is a SoCal Media Pros (previously MCAI-OC) sponsored nonprofit 501(c) (3) fund dedicated to providing both need-based and merit-based scholarships to qualified members of the voiceover community.  To date, more than $31,458 worth of scholarship and aid to the VoiceOver community has been donated, and Anne continues to grow the excitement and drive the VO Community to what it does best, and that’s GIVING BACK!    The spirit of giving back is inevitable in every community, and when you look at the many blessings that have been bestowed upon the VO Peeps Community through the Scholarship Fund, you can't help but recognize it’s generosity!

Together, Our Voices can Build Dreams!

Listen to what some of our Scholarship winners had to say:

As someone with just under a year of being involved in the industry I am truly floored by the amount of talent and generosity of VO’s within this community. So knowing a few of these extremely talented people had submitted for the 2017 VO Peeps VO Atlanta International Scholarship makes winning that much more mind blowing to me!  Having the opportunity to learn and engage with the best coaches and voice actors in the business in one conference is truly invaluable! The sheer number of real connections I hope to make, with people I have only met through social media or through webinars, will be incredible and I am so looking forward to this more than anything else. I wish to again graciously thank Anne and all the contributors to the VO Peeps Scholarship fund who have supported this valuable cause, and to Gerald for his support of this scholarship and for putting on what is known as “the” VO conference of the year! I am truly grateful for this opportunity to dramatically change the trajectory of my VO business in 2017 and for the networking and social connections I will cherish for years to come! -- David Gilbert, 2017 International VO Atlanta Scholarship Winner

  I am so happy and excited to have received the honor of winning the 2017 Carol Joy Memorial scholarship. I am truly honored and humbled by this opportunity. I can't even describe how much gratitude I fee! To Anne and VO Peeps THANK YOU! I will cherish this experience always. Someday soon I hope to pay it forward and give back to the VO community in spades. Anne and VO Peeps provide us with so many resources that help guide us along this VO journey. I'm so excited to get to meet you in person! Thank you for all that you do to support the VO community. - Dalia Ramahi, VO Peeps 2017 Carol Joy Memorial Scholarship Winner

  "I am truly blessed to have been chosen to be a recipient of the VO Peeps International Scholarship.  Winning the scholarship, and the conference itself was such a validating experience.  I know I’m on the right path, and I know so much more about the VO industry, and what steps to take to be successful in it. The opportunities gained at this conference were so impactful for so many.... You can’t get these opportunities, this experience, anywhere else. If you are eligible for this scholarship, apply! If you don’t win, apply again! And if it is within your means, please contribute! Your donations make this incredible experience possible. This scholarship changed my life. I hope that some day, it will change yours."- Sean Daeley, 2016 VO Atlanta International Scholarship Winner

I'm so honored, humbled, and excited to have been selected as the Carol Joy Memorial Scholarship Winner for the VO Peeps VO Atlanta 2016 National Scholarship! On top of all the education and training related opportunities Ann and VO Peeps makes available, they dedicate time and resources to offer scholarships to help voice talent trying to make their way in this business. I can't say thank you enough for the opportunity Ann, VO Peeps, and the donors have given me to attend VO Atlanta. I know this will be a huge benefit to my career and I can't wait to give back to this amazing organization! -David Toback, VO Peeps 2016 Carol Joy Memorial Scholarship Winner

VO Peeps Receives Generous Scholarship Donation from VO 2017 Atlanta Executive Producer Gerald Griffith

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VO Peeps Receives Generous Scholarship Donation from VO 2017 Atlanta Executive Producer Gerald Griffith!

IRVINE, California  (Oct 20, 2016) -   VO 2017 Atlanta Event Creator Gerald Griffith has generously donated three (3) full registration tickets for the VO 2017 AtlantaVoiceover event taking place in Atlanta, GA on March 9-12, 2017! The VO Peeps would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks and gratitude for this generous gift!

About VO 2017 Atlanta

Returning for it's 5th year, VO Atlanta is the ultimate gathering for members of the voice acting community.  Unlike many conferences with tens of thousands in attendance, VO Atlanta is a focused industry event attracting talent, agents, directors, and industry resources from around the world.  With our innovative programs and sessions presented by industry leaders, VO Atlanta represents a place where the voiceover industry is made better. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just finding your way, VO Atlanta welcomes you and provides opportunities for you to learn from the best as you connect with others throughout the industry.

Your Host, VoiceoverCity

VoiceoverCity, is a resource and learning group founded on the idea that people grow and learn best when they are a part of a community. To help people achieve their goals, VoiceoverCity works to connect people with the best industry leaders, coaches, and resources available. The services offered are expanding, but the mission of helping people stays the same.  VoiceoverCity, LLC was born from a simple idea: Bring people together, give them access to the best resources available, and foster an environment where all levels of experience are welcome.

Gerald Griffith, founder of VoiceoverCity, LLC started the group around a simple idea of bringing together just 10-20 people so they could connect and grow while helping each other along the way. To date, the original VoiceoverCity Meetup Group has almost 800 members. In social media circles, the group maintains connections with over 2400 people on Facebook and over 9700 on Twitter.

Gerald often talks about VoiceoverCity as a communication training center first because of his belief that people should measure their learning by how much they improve their ability to communicate with others.  The thing that excites Gerald most is the idea that his work will play a part in helping others achieve their goals.

Gerald Griffith - Helping to Make a Difference...

At VO Peeps, we strongly believe that there is no more valuable investment than education and financial help when it is needed, and the life change it provides.   Together, our voices can build dreams!  You can help us to  make a difference in someone's life by donating to the VO Peeps Career Education Scholarship Fund - A  fund created for voiceover artists by voiceover artists. Your support allows us to set bold goals in 2017, reaching voiceover professionals and aspiring artists around the globe with educational opportunity and a helping hand.  Our efforts this year are focused on growing our Career Education Scholarship Fund as much as possible, and helping as many in the Voiceover Community as we can, as soon as we can. In light of this effort we would like to thank our most recent sponsor from VO 2017 Atlanta - Gerald Griffith, for his most  generous gifts of  Three (3) full admission tickets to VO 2017 Atlanta in March.

In Memoriam: Carol Joy Protain Knizek VO Scholarship Drive

In Loving Memory...

  How You Can Help

In loving memory of our dear friend and colleague  Carol Joy Protain Knizek, who lost her battle with cancer, VO Peeps and Gerald Griffith are offering THREE (3) VO Atlanta Scholarships, including the Carol Joy Memorial Scholarship,  to help keep Carol's memory and dream alive at VO Atlanta in 2017.  Thank you to Gerald Griffith of VO Atlanta for his generous scholarship donation and for helping to make a difference.  Please take a moment to watch the video above to hear Carol speak at last year's VO Atlanta conference. After winning the 2015 VO Peeps VO Atlanta Scholarship, Carol wrote to me and said: [quote align="center" color="#999999"] I am so Thankful that I was one of the people who was selected for this years, VO Atlanta Scholarship!! I have never been to a conference before and still kind of new to VO. I am so Grateful that there are such kind and giving people like VO Peeps!!  I am honored that I was chosen and will use what I learn well and share with others. One day, I hope to be able to give to someone else. This is going to change my life in a positive way, having been diagnosed 4 times with cancer, and currently having it, this was a blessing for me! Something nice to look forward to, and to forget for a while why I have to go to the oncologist. Many Blessings, and Thanks from the bottom of my Heart, Carol [/quote]

A Personal Note from Anne Ganguzza, Founder of VO Peeps Scholarship

On a personal level, I will always hold Carol very near to my heart.  Carol had a beautiful and generous soul, and her joy was infectious.  Our connection was immediate, and remained steadfast long after the conference.  We both shared our battles with cancer, and she called me frequently to ask me how I was feeling (it was never about her) - always providing me with love and positive encouragement along the way.  She truly was an "Anne-gel" to me.  Carol, you have made me want to be better person, to give more, to be more joyful, and to be more grateful everyday. I am so fortunate to have known you and to call you friend. Love and Light my friend - You have touched my soul.
