This was fun. I was hired by a pretty cool boutique agency in Austin called Proof Advertising. It was also the first time I’ve used Source Connect – which provides real time, remote connectivity between my vo booth and any studio in the world. It was seamless! I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Source Connect;) When …
