These are two fun TV spots for Rolaids.  I was the announcer voiceover and I posted them because of the way the sauces explode on the screen.  OK, truth be told, I just love watching things blow up.  I hope you too can take pleasure in watching a hotdog explode.  A possible metaphor for your […]

It’s a little late, but I just found this and I thought all you voiceover people out there would enjoy hearing bits from some of the Editors Picks for best audio books of 2007. There is a wide range of voice over styles and sounds here.  Some of the stand-outs in my opinion are classics […]

When SAG and AFTRA didn’t merge in early 2000 I knew it was the beginning of the end. The leadership that blocked the merger at SAG is the reason I’m not involved in SAG politics and really don’t have much hope for SAG in the future. In other words, pension when I turn 65, I […]

Here’s an adorable story coming out of the Huntersville Herald in North Carolina about two of the youngest voiceover actors around. It’s worth reading not only for the cuteness factor, but because there are several helpful hints to be picked up thanks to the wise advice of the sisters father Brian Haymond.

Here is a great podcast that I subscibe to called “The Business” on KCRW, which is a local NPR station out in LA. Frankly, it’s the only radio station in LA worth listening to and it’s subscriber supported. What does that tell you about the state of LA’s radio scene?
In this episode Claude Brodesser-Akner, the […]
