A weekend to remember in LA
I’ve spent this past weekend with some truly wonderfully talented people “playing full out” to use the term Marice Tobias uses and learning how to raise my voiceover work to the next level. I always have at least one “aha” moment during these weekends of study and play with Marice. This weekend was no exception. More about that in a moment.

Just moments ago I received a note from Peter’s Voice Over Workshop and was excited to read this: “Today, after tabulating the judges ballots, I have announced the 11 nominees for the World News with Diane Sawyer faux-dition. Now as we all know, that job is NOT really up for grabs as it was given to the fine performer Mike Rowe. But this is the 3rd

My friend Peter O’Connell has been doing a fake audition for the last three years as a way to add a bit of amusement to the end of the year and the start of the next. This year’s finalists have been announced on Peter’s blog and that means you can now vote on your three favorites.
Debbe shines
My friend Debbe Hirata has such a lucious voice. Exhibit A is this video. Seattle University 7D Shoot from Terence Brown on Vimeo. See what I mean? There are many other exhibits. No doubt you’ll find some of them on your own, before long.
