Hi all,

A dozen or more of us were standing in line in the football field, and it wasn’t even the field at our High School. Tomorrow would be graduation day, and today is rehearsal.

Before we could get into the rehearsal line, some of us had to get into this smaller line that slowly moved and approached a corkboard standing off to the side of the field with several pages pinned to it. Each of us came up to it and searched for our names.

The girl in front of me, and myself, were desperate to find where our names appeared on this board. Because, only then, would we find out if we were graduating high school or not.

As I’ve told you, I struggled through school. All my classes effected by my struggle to read. Each year was better, but it was still hard. When an assignment called me to read chapter 6, 7, and 8, of a science book, or literature tome, the more pages I had to get through the harder it got.

There were classes I wanted to enjoy, but even those were hard.

And yet…

Hi All Podcast – Episode 3

Hi All,
Apologies for the delay, I had some trouble with recording the latest episode, and also had to go back and make edits on the first two. They’re all up now.

Hi All, and Welcome back.

Several years ago, I received an odd phone call from someone who claimed be from my childhood and wanted to meet at a local restaurant. I did not recognize the name, but agreed to meet.

It turned out the person was going through Alcoholics Anonymous. Step number eight in AA’s Twelve step program, is to reach out to people they had harmed and be willing to make amends. This person turned out to be one of the many school bullies who had made my childhood a living hell.

However, after all the years that had gone by I had absolutely no memory of who the person was that was sitting across the table from me. Oh, I remember most of the bullying from elementary school, Junior High, and High School; but I just couldn’t place who this guy was. I had moved on to face other bullies in my life.

What does this have to do with my struggles to read? A whole lot more than you’d think.

2020 – A Vision and A Voice

I have a new VISION for 2020 and that is my VOICE.

As you know I am a professional animation scriptwriter, a comic book artist, novelist, and have worked in animation production.

I n this new year of 2020 VISION, I am looking toward a new horizon by taking ACTING CLASSES focusing on VOICE OVER for animation.

I’m no fool who thinks this will be easy. It will be hard work and may take a long time, but I am willing to give it my all.

Growing up, taking art and writing courses, I never once thought about acting. Now, looking back, I see how it would have been beneficial to both my artwork and script writing. Over the last few years, I have become more and more interested in VOICE ACTING and all the great actors who work on series I follow. I’ve begun to want to know more about that side of the industry I am already a part of.

As I begin this 2020 VISION QUEST of my future by making my voice heard I hope to chat, network, and learn from many of my Voice Over friends online and in person.

While taking classes in acting, trying my hand at, reading books and watching my fellow actors perform and get to know them, I will be documenting some of my experiences here (though some I won’t be allowed to write about.)

So, I would love to have you follow me on my journey, whether to laugh as I fall on my face, applaud when I succeed, or provided some much need guidance and support along the way.

This is going to be scary, challenging, exiting, and fun. I’m looking forward to every moment of it.

2020 beings today, and I have a lot to be looking out for.
