Voice Acting and The Periodic Table of Ideas – The Not Silent Blog 04/27/2021

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.

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

Like most of the books I’m privileged to narrate, this one is fascinating. I’m even taking notes as I go. I’m confident that this book will make me a better voiceover business and coach.

The Johnny Heller 5th Annual Splendiferous Narrator Workshop – The Not Silent Blog 6/4/19

The Johnny Heller 5th Annual Splendiferous Workshop was, as always, splendiferous. Exactly how splendiferous? Let’s start with a few words from everyone’s favorite audio book narrator and adorably scathing satirist, Johnny Heller! “The Johnny Heller Splendiferous Narrator Workshop was started in 2015 when I was asked – generally – to put together a workshop for actors who were in town for APAC and had a free day before the convention. My idea was to have an event that would a
