The Podfather or: Clients Rule!

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…

Not a Haul But a Catch or: My Voice Hates Me

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…

Cobras or: The Things We Do

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. I already told you about me being…

Ketchup? or: Time’s A-Rollin’

Salutations™!! You have to be careful about what you ask for, right? You ask for more business, you get more business. You want more work, you get more work. Even when you aren’t at work, if you’re self-employed, you’re working. I had my networking meeting this morning and did run over to see my mother afterward,…

Not-So-Silent Sunday or: The Home Game

Salutations™!! Yesterday was my first game as “the Voice” of the Carolina Cobras. It was a little nerve-wracking at first as the schedule was tight and we had to hit marks. But, I had an intern on headset telling me what they wanted when. After the first 10 minutes or so, everything settled down and…

Exhaustion of a Different Kind or: VO Yo

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…

Now Hear This or: The Voice

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…

Waiting on the Man or: Almost Done

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…
