ATLANTA - Jan. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- VO Atlanta started with a simple idea of attracting people within the voiceover industry to Atlanta for an opportunity to network, learn, and interact with each other.  Now entering its 3rd year, VO Atlanta has grown to be one of the largest gatherings of voiceover talent, coaches, and industry resource providers.  With the popularity of the conference growing, international audiences are taking note as the conference is seeing registrations come in from countries like Switzerland, United Kingdom (UK), Canada, and others.

Conference Executive Producer, Gerald Griffith, arrived on the voiceover scene in late 2011 and discovered shortly thereafter that the southeast United States, Atlanta in particular, didn't have a community where people interested in voiceover could connect and grow beyond attending classes.

A few months after starting a small Meetup group, there was so much energy and interest, he transformed that small group into what's become Atlanta's largest voiceover network; VoiceoverCity which has over 600 members as of the end of 2014.

While the local group was growing and gaining momentum, there continued to be a lack of attention being paid to the southeast region with regard to events and activities.  Again, Gerald sprang into action and assembled what has become one of the premier voiceover events in the country.

The growth of the local group, along with the conference, landed Gerald on a very distinguished list of "13 of the Voiceover Industry's Top Players" as published in the one of the leading publications in the entertainment industry; Backstage Magazine.

What makes VO Atlanta stand out among other events is its focus on 'Community'.  Each of the presenters sign on for the entire event, meaning they don't come and go simply to present for their session.  They arrive before the opening of the conference and stay onsite until the conference ends.  This ensures conference attendees have full access to the best and brightest names in the industry throughout the entire conference.

The conference has featured such voiceover heavy-weights as Pat Fraley, Bob Bergen,Joe Cipriano, Joan Baker, Dave Fennoy, Nancy Wolfson, and Rodney Saulsberry.  While the names may not sound familiar, their voices would definitely be recognized.

VO Atlanta Executive Producer, Gerald Griffith, has decided that the Atlanta conference will be something different and special.  According to Gerald, "People should have an experience that educates, motivates, and inspires them to be the best talent they can be.  VO Atlanta isn't just another just another event.  It has to mean something to the people that attend.  There is a huge commitment to making this happen."

When asked what the conference means to him personally, he responded, "As a father, it's important for me to be a part of something where I can reserve a seat for my kids on the front row and let them see that they can achieve something great when they work hard, surround themselves with great people, and take a chance.  Those moments of having them stand on the last day of the conference means a lot to me."

In addition to already having some of the most exciting talent and resources represented at the conference, VO Atlanta has taken things to another level by providing a special training tract for Kids (7-16) and Spanish Speaking talent; two areas not represented at any other conference.

When VO Atlanta opens in March of 2015, it will represent a step forward in representing all those individuals who work behind the scenes creating the voices you hear everyday.  All this from a simple idea to bring people together regardless of their standing in the voiceover community.  From novice, to seasoned professional; all are welcome at VO Atlanta.
