		<title>Avian bloopers: My Cousin Vinny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I was in the middle of a complicated dream when I was awakened by one of my favorite voices, that of the Eastern Screech Owl (Otus/Megascops asio).  It’s a beautiful, haunting call, thrilling to wake up to, even if it means never knowing the ending of your dream.  The people responsible for sound [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Social Contract</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not terribly social media-savvy and find all the talk about it exhausting.  I do try to keep up on at least the basics, along with the related gadgetry, but I feel like I’m drowning when I ignore Mashable for a couple of days and all of a sudden I have nearly 200 articles piled up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving your work away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier in the Holocene Epoch, when I made my living as a biologist, I didn&#8217;t get many opportunities to give back to the community using my vocational skills.  I can&#8217;t remember a single time I was asked to do a free bird dissection or donate a phylogenetic analysis to charity.  As a voice talent it&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dialect Donor: Cake Boss!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was so taken with Pamela Vanderway&#8217;s concept of using a dialect donor when you need a model for a certain dialect that now that&#8217;s the term I think of when I hear somebody who speaks with an accent. If you need a great model for a 2nd generation Italian-American accent from northern New Jersey, you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Facebook &#8220;Fan&#8221; Page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of course, it isn&#8217;t really a fan page anymore because we no longer become Fans &#8211; rather, we Like.  I haven&#8217;t read anything about why the change from fanning to liking occurred, but I rather Like it.  It puts everybody involved on more or less equal footing rather than suggesting that the page owner is [...]]]></description>

		<title>More dialect resources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s post was inspired by a video at Pamela Vanderway&#8217;s blog, and this morning I took a bit of time to look at some of Pamela&#8217;s other posts.  What a delightful experience!  She&#8217;s a dialect consultant and has such an interesting perspective.  If you&#8217;re an actor, whether on-camera or in voice-over, I think you&#8217;ll enjoy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being present.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I met a friend for lunch at one of my new favorite places.  Because I’ve had an unusually high number of lunch dates recently I’ve been cycling through my three favorite places, so even though I ate at this place last week it was already their turn again.  But whereas last week I was able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you stay in touch? Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In December 2006, I was contemplating sending out an electronic newsletter as an alternative to keeping in touch with clients and potential clients via individual emails.  The problem I was having was that I had to send 27 emails a day in order to achieve my goal of writing to each contact just 4 times [...]]]></description>
