It’s Spooky Time

With Halloween only a couple of weeks away, we are being inundated with monster movies and ghost stories. This year I get to add my own Voice to the stories of things that go bump in the night.

Headaches vs Creativity

Really suffered from a bad headache during the night, didn’t sleep well at all. It’s not entirely gone, but better than this morning or last night.

Headaches have been the little demon that I have suffered with my entire life, and really impact my creativity as an Artist, Writer, and Voice Actor.

My Voice Is Moving

Been working on recording an audio drama for a podcast over the last few days, unfortunately the apartment building just next to ours is going through some remodeling and the noise is constantly interrupting me. That noise is teaching me to be patient, and it is also teaching me to relax in my recording. I pay too much attention to every mistake I make, every breath I take, every noise I create. I stop too often and go back and make corrections.

I’m a Voice Actor — Help!

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a Voice Actor. I began my training at the end of 2019. Later I will go into how Lockdown actually benefited my training, but now.

Right now, I’m having deal with another problem:

How do I find Auditions to read for?

Toastmaster, am I?

TOASTMASTERS

Thank you all so very much for reading my blogs over the last weeks as I wrote this series on comic books for my Toastmasters assignment. The series is complete, but I’m sure I have more to say about comic books in the future, but I thought it might be a good idea to tell you about what Toastmasters is and my involvement in it.

How the heck did they even let me do a whole project on Comic Books?

Voice Acting Demo Reels

Hi all,

Been a while since I regularly posted a blog entry. Am hoping that will change soon. I have plan for some up coming blog posts. Will let you know when that will start.

In the meantime, as a Voice Actor, I wanted to let you know that I have just completed a second Voice Over Demo Reel. The first one I had produced was for Animation and Character voices. This new reel focuses on Commercials.

Am posting both of them here for you to listen to:

Commercial Demo Reel
Character/Animation Demo Reel

If you’re a Producer, Casting Director, or Agent my contact information is in the videos.

“Beware The Shiny One”

This was my first 2024 speech for Toastmasters, I had begun working on it in November with a Christmas theme, but there were no speaker slots in December so reworked it as the first speech of 2024. This is for my Level Three “Engaging your Audience with Humor” speech.

I am a member of Toastmasters 4 Writer.

Have you ever considered the Internal Logic in the Christmas song “Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer”? I have, and it scared me.

Happy New Year – 2024

This Mask

“I’ve grown accustomed to this mask.”

I have always liked the musical MY FAIR LADY (I don’t like the ending, but that’s a different discussion), and the other day I began mouthing words to the son “I’ve grown accustomed to her face” and a thought struck me. So I came home and wrote my own version of the song.

Will all apologies to Lerner & Loewe, and apologies to your ears. Here is my bad singing of a my parody “I’ve grown accustomed to this mask.”

Three Months of Animated Joy

Been a while since I last posted, so here’s a brief run down of what I’ve ben up to.

I’ve continued to take Voice Acting classes through the year.  As much of a struggle this past year has been, being able to take classes by Zoom has been a great blessing. If I had completed my original Voice Over class in the studio, I know I would have pursued this goal further but I don’t know if I would have ever have taken as many classes in person in such a short a mount of time.  I have been very blessed.
