Hi, All,
I apologize to everyone that has been reading my blog, I have missed several weeks of posts since I began my new job. I’ve been very busy and my time has been limited. That is no excuse for not completing what I promised at the start of the year to post at least one blog per week.
I just completed the first week of a new job, and I just can’t stop smiling about it.
This is only a three-month temp contract position, but it is making me very happy.
Let me tell you a story.
Hi All,
Sorry I’m late with this blog, by several days.
I’ve been busy with several things, most of all preparing for a potential job opportunity.
Well, that job opportunity turned into an actual job, which I’ll be starting next Monday.
I can’t tell you much about it, maybe next week I can tell you where I work, but let’s just say I’ve been there before and I am very happy to be back. Even if it isn’t where I want to be. (Does that make any sense what so ever?)
Since the start of this year, I’ve applied to over 600 job openings. Which resulted in 1 interview.
I did have a two-day temp job, which was really fun. I blogged about it previously.
This new job also came through an employment agency and is only temporary, but it is schedule to last three months until the end of the year. So that is good news.
On top of that it isn’t too far away from home either, so there is no ghastly long commutes on the freeways.
Again, apologies for a very very late blog. Hopefully I’ll have more interesting news to tell you in a few days.
Thank you for all the support and the prayers. It was felt.
Kevin

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.
My 2020 vision is clear, and goal is unchanged, but the New Year has thrown a few obstacles my way.
I started the year off with a sever cold. Actually I first got sick early in December, and the cold came back right before Christmas and though I thought I was getting better with the New Year I am still suffering a terrible cough and sore throat. The later of course is preventing me from doing any real vocal exercises, reading aloud, or even singing.
Hopefully this will pass in the next few days.
The next obstacle that got tossed my way was when I went back to work after the New Year, only to find out that the part time position I’ve held for 9 years is being eliminated and that by the end of January I am being laid off.
I was quite surprised by this bit of news, but at the same time not horrified. The position had been part-time since the beginning and there was every intent that I would be finding a full time position elsewhere. It is more surprising that nine years have passed since I was hired on. The position has evolved and changed entirely from what it was originally intended to be. I have been very blessed by the position, the knowledge I have gained from it, and the friends I have made.
Over the last few years I had come to decision that it was time to move on, but I couldn’t do that until I had a stable position lined up. So I thought. With less than two weeks I have to kick my job searching into over drive. It’s not easy, because I have to find new places to look than I have in the past. Staying very positive that a job will come soon.
On a more positive note, I attended my first IMPROV workshop. My ongoing cough didn’t allow me to participate as much as I would have liked, and the scenes they set up were more complicated than I had expected for my first attempt, but all the same it was a great learning experience. Had a good time.
I had plans to be part of a one day Voice Over workshop in February, but with my budget suddenly haltered I will have to postpone that for a while. However, I had already put a down payment on a six-week course starting in March before the New Year, and have saved up the rest of the money separately for that.
So all things considered I am still have 2020 Vision on my goals for this New Year, and to be learning all that I can of Voice Over Acting.
For now I must also have an equally clear focus on finding full time employment.
Hopefully my voice will clear up soon, and I’ll be speaking clearly. If for nothing else, than a few wallas.
I appreciate all your support.
