Voice artist wins big at Ad Club of Western Massachusetts event.

My friend and fellow voice talent Steve Anthony reminded me a few weeks ago of the existence of the Ad Club of Western Massachusetts. Although I had looked at their membership list some time ago, I have not really given them the attention they deserve. And after hearing a testimonial from Janet Ault on Pat [...]

My voice-over coach and friend, Charles Michel is giving a 3 hour workshop on Saturday, 4 November at PPI Recording in Manhattan. The price: a 25th anniversary special of $25.

I’m doing a major clean-up today and found this newspaper clipping showing my horoscope from I don’t even know when – way before voice-over was even a gleam in my eye. I kept it because it was so full of promise (also I get a kick out of horoscopes that begin “Born today” rather than [...]

Out of the Studio Again!!

Hey, I crawled out of my catacomb again today and visited another studio, making the 1 hour-plus drive to Worcester, MA to visit Slav Vaskevich of Vaskevich Studios. Slav had sent some voice-over work my way last week and then had floored me with an offer to print some business cards for me. I wondered [...]
