The weekend of April 18th through the 20th brings the NY Comic-Con to the mean streets of Gotham City. That is if you want to call the streets around the Jacob Javits Center mean. The annual comic book convention brings together the triumvirate of geek culture with comic, movie and video games coming together in booth and panel form for the paying public.

If you happen to be going to the convention or just in the New York area and have some time and money to blow you may want to head over to the Activision booth (booth number 1048) as they have an interesting contest lined-up for their next Spider-Man game. For the three days they are there at the Javits Center they will be recording grunts, screams and your best irritated cabbie voice acting for the newest Marvel comic video game.

This may not be the most exciting proposition for the experienced professional voice over artist, but if you know someone who’s been thinking about getting into the industry this may be a fun starting point for them.
