Voice Acting and The Periodic Table of Ideas
The Periodic Table of Ideas is here! I had the pleasure of narrating this fascinating audio book thanks to my friend and author Ben Cheung. This is the second audio book I’ve narrated for him, the previous one being The Four Elements of Thinking. To quote the blurb… The Periodic Table of Ideas is a collection of pivotal concepts in history spanning the disciplines of business, economics, philosophy, psychology, science, and technology. These ideas represent the pinnacle of hu

You Will Hate This Blog, Again
About three years ago I wrote a blog for Stage 32, an entertainment industry social media site. It was well-received and they have decided to post it again. You can read the blog via their website but I have re-posted it here for your convenience. Enjoy! You will hate this blog. Not the most inspiring of beginnings, but bear with me… I struggled as a voice talent for almost 15 years. Before that, I went to college and graduate school for acting. It turns out that while I was

Voiceovers And (not) Listening
Last week my manager sent out a casting notice to their talent roster and asked us to help spread the word. It was a “seeking non-actors for a TV commercial” casting notice so I posted it on the GKN and a few other places. Among the specs were: You must have two children between the ages of 8-15, and The entire family must be available to be interviewed over the weekend. I got a number of responses but only one of them qualified. Why? Either their children weren’t in the requ

Voiceovers And Being Prepared
I don’t have bad days. I really mean it. Sometimes bad things happen, but it’s up to me to decide whether I’ll let that make it a bad day. Yes, I know that sounds overly simplistic & optimistic, but it’s a principle I try to live by with mostly successful results. BTW I’m not talking about really bad things like a death in the family or something like that. I mean those little-ish things that have the potential to make your day spiral out of control. With that in mind, here a
