2012: No More Excuses

We all procrastinate. It’s a part of life but there is always something we can do about it. I have enjoyed a fruitful voiceover career. I am looking forward to doing it for the rest of my life but ever since I spoke at Voice 2010 in Los Angeles, I have wanted to pursue public speaking [...]

Bouncing Higher

Like it or not, we are living in the era of craigslist. Someone will mow your lawn for $20. A photographer will shoot your wedding for $100 and so-called voice talents will record a 10-page narration for $50! This is the world we are living in. Every profession deals with low-ball inquiries from clients. You don’t [...]

Reconstruction

Out of bad comes good, rewiring, evaluating of self & wisdom This week I watched the documentary on the Discovery channel about the rebuilding of Ground Zero in NY. So emotional, so inspirational, so sad & happy at the same time. The building of the first new tower is emotional for me to watch. After all [...]

Out of Focus- Spectacles For The Brain

Listening is such a key to success in the voice over business, whether following labeling instructions from an agent or direction from a client. My good friend and agent, Erik Sheppard will not even listen to an audition if the the talent hasn’t labeled the audition according to his instruction. When we don’t listen, we are [...]

Gully jumping – get out of the ditch!

Life is full of highs and lows - we get sidetracked into the ditch and have to find our way back to the road we are meant to travel. We need to jump out of the gully. This past week I ran into a roadblock. It made me realize a few things & make some changes. [...]

Surround Yourself With The Extraordinary

When you surround yourself with inspiring and uplifting people, amazing things will happen. It makes such a difference to have people in your life who support & encourage you. It can make the difference of a successful, fulfilling life or having an average, uninspiring life. Life is so short...don’t we all want to feel inspired?! When [...]

An Epidemic: Mediocrity

How many times have we said the phrase “Ah, it’s good enough” when we knew darn well that is wasn’t? God knows, I have been guilty of that myself.  Mediocrity should be illegal in this country.  A crime punishable by a slap in the face and a kick in the ass!  Okay, I’m kidding.  Sort of. [...]

If Ted Williams Can Do This, So Can I

I love that people are inspired by this story but remember Ted went to school for broadcasting...he did MAKE an investment in his career...he also worked for radio. It’s a dangerous thought process to think that you will be the next one discovered.  It just doesn’t work that way.  Ted’s story is unique and it doesn’t [...]

Is 2011 Your Year?

The New Year started off with a bang and is off and running!  How about you? I understand that you have a lot to do.  Yes, the house needs a cleaning after all of the holiday festivities, you’ve got to get to the gym to get your workout in, the laundry is piling up, you have [...]
