Show overview

VO Booth Besties has been publishing since 2023, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 94 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 90 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 4th season.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 2m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 66 episodes published.

S3 Ep 19The role of a demo in 2024, with guest Kay Bess

This episode was born from a desire to answer a collection of questions from the VO community about demos, demo producers, and the role of a demo in 2024. To get a better understanding, AB, NJ and JT interviewed more than 30 demo producers, asking the same questions of each, to learn about what they do and how they do it. We also surveyed agents, both national and regional, to find out how they feel about demos and the role they play in selecting talent for their rosters. Kay Bess lends her decades of industry experience to the conversation, making it more comprehensive and thorough.You can find the list of producers with links to their interview here:https://www.boothbesties.com/resourcesInclusion on this list is for introductory purposes only and does not imply endorsement by VOBBThanks to our sponsor, StudioBricks!https://studiobricks.com/Find Kay Bess' coaching info here:https://www.kaybess.com/vocoaching/?fbclid=IwAR1eCKFzjOT4fNV9CGrixMQiEL0jfjzVdWlLItjrDKYLEx-Kc8nypYgE2ZE Hosted on Acast.
