It will be the nation’s largest airline. So what does this have to do with this blog? Marketing and advertising. The combined airlines have announced: United parent UAL Corp. agreed to merge with Continental in a stock swap valued at more than $3 billion that will create the world’s biggest

Female Voice Talent Bettye Zoller Courtesy this morning of Dave Courvoisier’s blog is news that Bettye Zoller has entered into the voice over blog world.

I HOPE all I caused myself was Laryngitis. But I came across two things that voice talents should be aware of to keep their money machine out of harms way.
