Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast

Earlier this year, ACTRA Toronto undertook a survey looking at the extreme vocal work that video games are now demanding of voice actors. It found roughly 40% of members asked almost always experience vocal fatigue or stress during such a voiceover session with another 20% finding it hard to recover vocally.

In response to those concerns, University of Cincinnati Professor of Voice D'Arcy Smith has created the Vocal Combat Technique, a method to help voice actors and performers make aggressive sounds in the healthiest way possible. He joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, joined by UC Health Voice Pathologist and Voice Health Expert Katelyn Reid. Both performers themselves, Reid and Smith offer some solid advice here on how to optimize your vocal health no matter what part of the performance industry you work in - from warm-up and recovery to best practices and why morning voice doesn't have to be a thing.

The Ontario Association of Broadcasters (OAB) Connection '22 came back with a bang as it returned in-person for the first time since 2019.

If there was a theme that emerged this year, it's that radio, in particular, is faced with more uncertainty than ever amid audience and advertising pressures and questions around a changing regulatory landscape. In spite of all that, there was a measured level of optimism from broadcasters.

Broadcast Dialogue spoke with several executives, in addition to Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) President Kevin Desjardins on their takeaways from this year's event. We also catch up with Evanov Communications President Paul Evanov, whose late father and radio pioneer Bill Evanov was inducted into the OAB Hall of Fame, one of the highlights of Connection '22.

Over 600 college radio stations in more than 45 countries will celebrate World College Radio Day on Friday, Oct. 7.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we welcome the event's founder Dr. Rob Quicke.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone more passionate about college radio or with more street cred in the space as one of the students who helped launch the UK's first-ever FM college station at Oxford University in the '90s, in addition to 15 years as the General Manager of campus station WPSC-FM Brave New Radio in Wayne, New Jersey.

Among other things, we talk about why college radio is still relevant and why this year's College Radio Day is dedicated to peace.

Arguably one of the biggest radio stunts of the last decade happened earlier this summer with the launch of Rogers Sports & Media's SONiC RADiO format in Metro Vancouver.

A stunt that saw Rage Against The Machine's polarizing track Killing in the Name enable the transition from the former KiSS format. In the 30-hour space between, the ensuing theories about why went viral, covered by outlets from Esquire, Rolling Stone, and CBS, to The Guardian and The Daily Mail.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, alt rock radio veterans Christian Hall, SONiC RADiO's Content Director and the National Content Director for JACK FM, and Angela Valiant, the host of the SONiC Vancouver morning show, take us behind the scenes of the launch. We also get into the nuances of alt rock programming, algorithm fatigue, and why Hall believes Vancouver just became the most exciting radio market in the country.
