If you live in California, you’ve probably heard and felt much of the fear and uncertainty around California’s labor legislation AB5. What is it? Are you an employee? Or, are you an independent consultant? Well…it depends. Anne’s encouraging and informative interview with 3 x special guest Robert Sciglimpaglia, a lawyer with deep knowledge of employment and compensation issues, voice artist, Amazon bestselling author, award-winning producer and actor gives assurance to California-based talent to stay their course. Find out if this law is really as easy as ABC. And since similar legislation is turning up in other states such as NJ, NY, ILL and even at the national level (HR2474), this discussion is worthwhile for talent throughout all our 50 states.      2020 BOSS Footer Show notes and exclusive offers at VOBoss.com!

VO Boss host Anne Ganguzza and special guest host, Liz Atherton, turn up the volume together in this podcast discussing the world of agenting.  From phone throwing to sleepless nights, to P2Ps, and life after the August 2017 VO tsunami (when VoiceBank changed hands to Voices.com), the changes on the VO landscape have had a powerful effect on talent and agents.  Liz Atherton, with her 20+ years in the industry as an agent, and now casting software developer, and CampVO director, provides thought-provoking insight into the agent side of the business.    Show notes and exclusive offers at VOBoss.com!
