If you ever feel like doing nothing, then I’ve got the perfect book for you. It’s called How to Do Nothing With Nobody All Alone By Yourself, by Robert Paul Smith. It’s a wonderfully insightful and delightfully whimsical book that’s designed to teach kids the vital skill of figuring out what to do when there’s nothing to do. I had the pleasure of narrating thisRead More »Feel Like Doing Nothing?
Over a year ago, I made contact with the director of an online collaborative animated film, and was cast as the voice of the two male characters. Later I was asked to record a Wonder Years-esque narration that would be woven throughout the film. The project has been progressing nicely, and a teaser trailer was just released that shows off some of the stellar workRead More »Devils, Angels & Dating – Teaser Trailer

I went to a local business networking meeting the other day. I hadn’t been to such an event before, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. One of the first things that happened after I entered the room instantly reminded me of this video by fellow voiceoverist Philip Banks: While I wasn’t exactly pelted by business cards, my first few interactionsRead More »Notworking
…I’m still finding my voice…largely for this blog. I want to offer more here than just “Here’s what I’ve been doing lately,” but unfortunately that’s about all that it feels like I’ve got to offer at times. Today, though, I’ve got a little story to share. More on that later. It’s been busy here. While most of that busy-ness isn’t on the voiceover front, thereRead More »Like the name says…
Have you ever seen the ads in the “Discover the Forest” campaign? If not, take a look at this sample: It’s a great campaign to encourage kids to get outside and enjoy the wonders of nature, and I applaud the Ad Council and Forest Service for getting the word out about…well…getting out! The place that I keep running into this ad is at the gasRead More »Discover your independence

Okay, I haven’t been this excited about a new web site in a long time. The site is The Actor’s Library, and it launches live tomorrow, June 22nd. Kristine Oller, the talent behind this new resource, has some great intro videos that are well worth your time (in my opinion). The only hitch is that these videos are only live until midnight tonight, so goRead More »The Actor’s Library
Having worked in the animation industry for nine years, and having been a fan of computer-generated (CG) imagery for many years before that, I’ve heard a lot of comments about how various CG animated projects look. In fact, the whole purpose of using CG imagery is to achieve specific visual effects that would be more difficult — or perhaps impossible — to create using otherRead More »Parallels
Partly because it just needed to be done, and partly in preparation for the Voices.com mixer in Dallas tonight, I finally buckled down and designed my first set of business cards. Similar to the web site design, simple and clean was my goal, and I think it works well. Thanks to Avery’s clean-edge cards and printing template system, the whole process was a piece ofRead More »New business card
