Last Day as an Intern
It is my last day as an intern at M2O and it was a great experience. I learned a lot about social media, blogging, tweeting and using Facebook effectively. I researched story topics and came up with story ideas for the blog. I even uploaded a video on Yube Tube – which was an amazing feat for me. It was funny to see myself on Yube Tube. I got to play around with camera equipment in the studio and did some short videos using the flip camera. ... [Read More...]
Social Networking
I’ve been recently introduced to the Social Media World from studying Multi-Media at UBC. It’s been a real eye opener to find out that I’ve been out of touch with how to network now through Social Media. Everyday, I blog, Twitter and use Facebook for networking.

Google’s Wave – Microsoft’s Bing – big players, big changes
We’ve started doing a lot more in-house Voice-Over work at Media2o Productions (M2O). It’s really fun stuff. It’s also interesting that just as my recorded voice never sounds the same to me as it does to others – this seems to hold true for others doing VO work too.
