Get Inspired at Mavo: A Conference Like No Other
We had the pleasure of chatting with Val Kelly, the driving force behind the Mid-Atlantic Voice Over (MAVO) Conference. Val has been running MAVO for several years, but after a break due to COVID-19, she came back with a bang for MAVO 2022, themed "Get Inspired."
Why MAVO Stands Out
What sets MAVO apart from other events is its focus on intimacy and hands-on learning. With a maximum of 120-125 attendees, MAVO offers smaller, more personalized sessions. Unlike typical conferences where speakers talk for an hour and then do a Q&A, MAVO's sessions are performance-based, providing attendees with immediate feedback and practical skills they can apply to their craft.
MAVO 2022 introduces Mastery Sessions, three-hour intensive workshops with limited spots to ensure a personalized experience!
Networking and Community Building
Apart from the educational sessions, MAVO offers ample networking opportunities. With lunches, cocktail hours, and coffee breaks built into the schedule, attendees have the chance to mingle with speakers and fellow voice actors in a more relaxed setting, fostering lasting connections.
Innovative Offerings
One of the highlights of MAVO 2022 is the addition of a recording booth on-site. This feature allows attendees to record auditions or demos without the hassle of bringing their equipment, making it a standout offering among voice-over conferences.
Sponsorship and Support
MAVO has garnered support from various sponsors, including The Voiceover Network, World Voices Organization, and Sennheiser Neumann. These sponsors provide equipment, services, and expertise, enhancing the overall conference experience.
Don't Miss Out!
If you're a voice actor in the Washington D.C. area or nearby states like Maryland, Virginia, or even further afield, MAVO is an event you don't want to miss. With its unique blend of education, networking, and community building, MAVO promises to be a weekend that will inspire and elevate your voice-over career.
