Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I love my job. I love all my jobs. I don’t do things that I don’t enjoy. Not anymore. For many years I was the office manager/VP of my parents’ company. I loved that job, although they would probably not agree with me. Now, don’t get me wrong. I hated the industry. I hated…
Salutations™!! The last two days were exhausting. No, I didn’t do a lot of exercise or overly-strenuous physical activities. But, when you use your voice like I do, sometimes you wear it out. Just like someone who works at a desk all day, you can get mentally exhausted and of course, physical laborers can get…
Salutations™!! Tonight is the only Friday night game for the Carolina Cobras so I’ll be working tonight. So, you should come to watch some good, fast-paced, (usually) high-scoring, 8-on-8 football and cheer your local professional sports team on while supporting your favorite voice-over artist doing his announcing thing.

But, I had an intern on headset telling me what they wanted when. After the first 10 minutes or so, everything settled down and…
Salutations™!! Today I submitted audition files for about 12 voice jobs. Each, for animation and characters. Supposedly, I got a few of them. I just have to change a few things. But, let me tell you after 30-ish takes with a rasp, whisper, higher registered character voices, accents and more, that take a real toll…
Salutations™!! Last Wednesday, on The Less Desirables, The Carolina Cobras and I made a big announcement. Now that a week has passed and another episode of the podcast has dropped, it’s time to discuss the announcement a little further. Or is it? I’m not going to say what it is. Instead, I’m going to give…
Salutations™!! So, the title of this post is two-fold, a double entendre, if you will. First, I have completed the first drafts of the video job. The copy, the VO, the splicing, it’s all done. Now, I just have to have the client sign off on them, which I’m waiting for him to do tomorrow. If…
