Earlier this year, ACTRA Toronto undertook a survey looking at the extreme vocal work that video games are now demanding of voice actors. It found roughly 40% of members asked almost always experience vocal fatigue or stress during such a voiceover session with another 20% finding it hard to recover vocally.

In response to those concerns, University of CincinnatiProfessor of Voice D'Arcy Smith has created the Vocal Combat Technique, a method to help voice actors and performers make aggressive sounds in the healthiest way possible. He joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, joined by UC Health Voice Pathologist and Voice Health Expert Katelyn Reid.

The Ontario Association of Broadcasters (OAB) Connection '22 came back with a bang as it returned in-person for the first time since 2019.

The vast majority of UHF North American broadcast antennas today are slotted cylinder pylon antennas, which offer benefits including smaller tower footprints, fewer parts, lower windload and superior pattern flexibility.
