Boundaries: Sometimes the Answer is “No”

Boundaries come in many forms. Some are utilitarian and valuable. Others are seemingly useless and/or prohibitive (think negative self talk – more on this later). There are physical boundaries such as doors, fences, or perhaps you recently sprained your ankle and can’t get around as well as you used to, so you temporarily can’t get

Working With Voice Talent

How do I work with you? Keeping it Simple and Friendly: I like to keep things simple. So to start out with, simply reach out. Do you have a question about what I do as a voiceover actor, what my timeline is, or just to connect to say hello to start a conversation (maybe we

“Human Connections”

Always “Connected”?: Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Clubhouse, Instagram, texts, various messaging/communication apps…there’s no doubt we’re connected. But…are we really? We “like”, maybe comment, post pictures, write and share stories, share, answer texts and messages at dizzying speeds. Sometimes (I’m guilty too) it feels like we’re “liking” a post or comment just for the sole fact of

Looking Forward/Ahead, Not Down: Goal Setting and Working on Goals

Looking Down: One of my favorite outdoor activities is kayaking. Not the kayaking on a river with class four rapids, but the type where you’re just relaxing and paddling to get around a lake or reservoir, to see the flora and fauna, and really just to enjoy and to soak in nature. I’m not new

Celebrating Collaborations: Apart Yet Together

Collaborative by Nature: Voiceovers are by nature collaborative. The audio/voice is but one piece of the mosaic of a creative project. The client, agent, producer, writer, director, audio engineer, content developer, project manager, editor, marketing agency, ad agency, and even accounting department are some of the folks who may work on any give project with

“Taking a Chance On….”

We All Start Somewhere: One of the most common questions I get as a voice actor is, “How did you get into this?” For me it’s been a culmination of skill sets, classes, careers, opportunities, two bachelor degrees, continual learning, and people. On person, in particular, definitely took a chance on me back in 1989.

Change: of Scenery, of Venue to Spur Creativity and Motivation

Change as Opportunity: Unprecedented, change, pivot, etc. We’ve heard and have seen these words time and time again during the global pandemic. But hold on, let’s think about this change. In my opinion, it is a constant. However you perceive and deal with change, it’s around that’s for sure, and I like to try to

Stay Sharp, Be Ready

It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. I’m a believer in self-responsibility. Responsibility both personally and professionally. Challenges Arise: I won’t lie, the past several months (March through mid-November 2020) have been a challenge. Let me first preface that in the grand scheme of things, and in looking at the big

Nuances/Shades of Voice

Beauty in Diversity: My mom has commented many times about the fact that there are so many different shads of green in nature. It’s true. Even though our perennial flowerbeds took a bit of a beating in a June hailstorm and many of the plants only blossomed a bit (if at all) the glorious green

Make the Most of the Time You Have

Always “Stuff” to Do: There are always things to do when you own a business. Recordings, marketing, editing, accounting, classes, emails, etc. This, I suppose, is obvious. If you’re like me there are some things that I “push off” more than others. Take for example, accounting. It’s necessary, but reconciling bank statements and keeping tabs

Wisdom from Weeds: Adapt to Grow and Succeed

Weeds: Weeds. According to Merriam Webster, “weed” is defined as, “a plant that is not valued where it is growing and is usually of vigorous growth.” I’ve also heard it being referred to as a “plant out of place.” We have weeds in our perennial flower beds which also contain a few yummy edibles like

Working with Voice Talent: Cooperation, Listening, and Helping

Common Questions: When I tell people that I’m a voiceover actor and that I work from a custom built recording studio in my home, there are several responses I get. 1) Kind of a “deer in headlights” response, to which I get asked something like, “What’s voiceover? What kind of projects do you work on?”
