Why celebrity voices are GOOD for VO
It's long been a debate in the voice over world, that the celebrities that are being hired to voice animation films take work away from the VO community. I've personally never thought this, but here are some great VO talent (Pat Fraley, Kevin Delaney, Kat Cressida, MJ Lallo, Crispin Freeman) that explain why.

Rescue efforts: hope in Japan
I clipped this from an Australian newspaper article....trying to find some good in this awful disaster.
Although Japan's soldiers have found death on a large scale, hope was pulled from the rubble yesterday.
A baby girl was found in Ishinomaki, a coastal town northeast of Sendai smashed by the tsunami.
Members of the Japanese Self Defence Force marvelled at the four-month-old's survival, wrapping her in a pink jacket and transporting her to safety.
Japan already committed 100,000 troops - about 40 percent of its armed forces - to spearhead the mammoth rescue and recovery effort, with hundreds of ships, aircraft and vehicles headed to the Pacific coastal area.
Emergency workers have so far rescued 15,000 survivors.

5000 Years Old Mummy Reconstructed
Many of you probably don't know this, but my second love is anthropology/paleontology/geology/archaeology. Basically, I Iove old stuff. I thought this was fascinating!
5,000 years later, the ice man gets a face
A hunter who died a violent death in the Italian Alps more than 5,000 years ago became a bit more recognizable to modern-day humans. "Oetzi," whose mummified remains were discovered in 1991, finally has a face.
He's not exactly Cary Grant, but let's give the guy a break. During his lifetime - he lived to 45 or 46 - Oetzi faced a world that was nasty and brutish. Whoever he was, Otezi died a violent death. A flint arrowhead had penetrated his skin and researchers say that the arrow cut a major blood vessel in the man's left arm. That led to heavy bleeding and possibly paralysis of the arm. The body also showed evidence of a deep hand wound as well as several abrasions and bruises.
When the mummified remains were discovered, the body was in relatively good shape - it had been preserved under ice for all that time - except for the face. The reconstruction work by a couple of Dutch artists made use of 3-D and forensics technology to carry out the project gives Oetzi an identity after all these years.
The new exhibit is going on display at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the mummy's discovery.
