This year at The 37th annual Conclave Learning Conference, Benztown welcomed broadcasters and students as an official sponsor. The highlight of our sponsorship was our Voice-Over Panel. We assembled an all-star panel of innovators in the world of voice-over who spoke to the topic of “The Voice-Over Edge—and How to Get It”. Attendees had the opportunity to ask these experts questions and learn more about how voice-over can give them and their stations a winning edge, regardless of market size or budget, while voice-over professionals shared their stories and tips for success with up-and-coming voice talent.
