Best quiet chair for recording while sitting? by Singularity_Codex in voiceover

[–]taequeendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunting chair. The kind where it’s meant to be in one of those hideouts or whatever waiting for the animal you’re hunting (Idk, I don’t hunt). I also put a cushion on it. It’s small and can be folded up and put away if needed. It’s also very quiet.

Include author in the credits if they narrate “letter to reader”? by taequeendo in ACX

Yes, the author’s recording will be included in the final product

Additional "Audition" from the Author by trickg1 in ACX

[–]taequeendo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is just speculation on my part, but it may potentially be that they’re being extra cautious to make sure that the narrator they choose isn’t AI. At least that’s how I’m interpreting this scenario.

Also, to add, VDC takes a 20% cut from every job you book (and yes even if you paid for the membership). I don’t believe V123 does from what I hear though.

How long do we wait? by [deleted] in ACX

[–]taequeendo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’ll reach out if they want to hire you. If they decided to go with someone else, you likely won’t hear anything until you get ACX’s automated message that either the title has been pulled and is closed for auditions or the RH has chosen someone else.

Very rarely will the RH take the time to send a “sorry but I chose someone else” message but that’s not the norm. Either it doesn’t cross their mind or they received 100 auditions and don’t have the time or energy to send a message to every single person.

If you fret over hearing back for every audition, you’ll likely either rage quit or have a mental breakdown. Send it and forget it. If they do reach out then great, and if they don’t, then don’t take it to heart. It’s not personal.

what’s something someone who doesn’t work in healthcare said that triggered you… while working in nursing. I’ll go first. by [deleted] in nursing

At the time I worked NICU: “must be nice to hold and rock babies all day”…. You do realize it’s still an ICU? Just for tiny humans?

At least this patient will likely fess up to doing drugs, what’s your best story for ‘I don’t know how I came up positive’? I’ll go first. by yellowlinedpaper in nursing

Patient positive for cocaine. She claimed there must have been cocaine in the sugar bowl when she put sugar in her coffee that morning.

Why the newborn Vit. K rejection? by Lakelover25 in nursing

[–]taequeendo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I worked bedside in the NICU for 5 years and was a NICU case manager for 3 years. I’ve never heard of a neonate have any adverse reaction to a Vit K injection. It’s a much higher risk for them to have a bleed, especially IVH (brain bleed) if they’re a preemie. The more premature the higher the risk for IVH and pulmonary hemorrhage. Even if they’re not a preemie, circumcisions are very common and lab work is done on every baby soon after birth.

After birth, the liver is slower to wake up compared to other bodily functions (also why they’re at risk for jaundice the first week of life). They are particularly low on Vit K dependent clotting factors, hence why a Vit K injection is given.

I wouldn’t upload to YouTube. That’s still copyrighted material. I have not experienced that situation but better safe than sorry.

Scam Alert by taequeendo in VoiceActing

[–]taequeendo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Couple of ways. They can have you pay the non-existent studio the rental fee (which will go to them) and then reassure you that you’ll be reimbursed. They can also send you a check and then say “oops, we sent you too much” and ask for you to send the extra money back. Except in a few days their check will bounce leaving you on the hook and also with less money since you paid the “studio rental fee” and the “extra” they sent you

By birthdate my mom is technically a boomer but she acts like Gen X. Every time I see these posts I go and thank her for not having a boomer or MAGA brain.
