Nearly 400 voice actors are doing that now at the fifth Voice Over International Creative Experience - or VOICE 2014 - in Anaheim, CA. It began Wednesday night (Aug. 27) with an exuberant Red Carpet Reception and then packed Thursday with a full day of education, networking, exhibit hall shopping, and entertainment.  "Look ... is that Ed Asner?" Yes, indeed! Star voice talent/trainer Pat Fraley (pictured) brought his famous actor neighbor to the reception.  And the next morning, Fraley led Asner and others in entertaining and memorable voice acting lessons and demonstrations (photo below, l-r: Fraley, Asner, and voice talents Karin Allers and Michael Miro). Star voice talent/trainer/singer Rodney Saulsberry rocked the convention's open Thursday morning with a song and incomparable backup singers (top photo).  The day ended in a hilarious demonstration of hypnosis - on very courageous voice talents - by top Las Vegas headliner Marshall Sylver (photo). And throughout Thursday, educational sessions and panel discussions on all facets of voice acting, voice over business and personal studio - plus VO products and services in the exhibit hall - kept notebooks and minds open. Voice 2014 producers James Alburger and Penny Abshire and their team have truly created a "Better Than Ever" event, which continues Friday and Saturday at the Hilton Anaheim (check if a Day Pass is still available). RED CARPET SMILES Friends met and friends were made at the Wednesday night Red Carpet Reception, where the VoiceOverXtra camera caught these smiles ...
