Zurek,
I was wondering in your infinite wisdom and encyclopedic knowledge of all things Joe Cipriano, Do you know where that pop filter on his Sennheiser 416 came from? I've been looking but all I can find is 6"+ filters. A small one would be handy. Any ideas would be welcome
Thanks
Stefan
Hello Zurek, I thoroughly enjoy your skill and passion for v/o. I was wondering how to sign up for the probono work needed by Yusef for the Horn of Africa project. Have a peaceful and productive week.

Watching you live at B106.3 while you voice spots for BET! Wow!!!! You are a master at multitasking! Great work in both fields...Kudos brother!
Hey Z,
Take a quick listen to the new demo when you get the chance. Thanks.

Just a note to thank you so much for the note you sent out about the McDonalds ad. You are a star man and I am in awe at what you have done for the VO community with founding this site.
I must tell you, that I still consider myself to be a complete fraud and shake my head in disbelief at the amount of work that pours into my computer every day! I used to be a Financial Director of some small media companies but which included one of the biggest VO studios in London which I financed. 5 years ago I sold up and wondered what to do in life.
I decided to have a go at voice overs as I had produced voices and singers for a long time. It was a wing and a prayer. No training, no coaching, a modicum of computer knowledge to get me recording - and it took off like a rocket. I have considered having some coaching, but decided against it as I don't want to mess with what people like. And that is why I am a fraud....I don't know what the heck I am doing and get totally stunned when a message goes out about something I have done from, for example, a real pro like you.
I know you are successful Zurek. May it long continue for you. Here's to the future.
Zurek is THE Best in the Voiceover industry!!! Happy Birthday and God bless!
Happy Birthday 'Z' (*aka: "Image Superspy'*), someone had to remember!
:-)
Zurek, really appreciate VU--great connect for the vo community!
Question: What does a client or guest see when he/she pulls up a talent's page?
Thanks!
