While checking iTunes - just to see if they've maybe put up the audiobook production of Swan Place for sale there yet (and no, they haven't...still waiting, but should happen soon...I'm just getting antsy...) - I

A Quick Update

And now back to voiceover stuff. I’ve been so focused on keeping up my Facebook artist page, that I’ve sorely neglected posting here! My apologies for that. I do, happily, have some very good things to report: Preschool Pond, a wonderful new kids’ iPad app (that features loads of fun character voices and narration...by yours

Why My Four-Year-Olds Make Me Smarter: Segment 2, “The Art of Playing”

The other day, after finishing loading the dishwasher for the second time that day, I looked out into the living room to check on the kids. They had been laughing for some time, and seemed to have invented some sort of new incarnation of a common game I’ll simply refer to here as “jumping from

Why My Four-Year-Olds Make Me Smarter: Segment 1, “And Out Come the…er…Legos!”

It seems we have very few true recognized rights of passage in our modern western culture today.

“Dude, Seriously? Do I Really Have An Accent?”

Accents are entertaining things. Particularly those considered to be the more stereotypical accents. I’ve always been fascinated by dialect and accent - especially by those various dialects heard all across the British Isles, Australia, and New Zealand. But it wasn’t until I was in my early ‘tweens that I finally became more aware of the

Letterboxing on the Central Coast

Hello again, lovely readers. This one has nothing much to do with voiceovers...mostly because I completely lost my voice for about a week and a half over the holidays, and I needed to expend my creative energy elsewhere. So this is a bit about that... A few of my family members have recently gotten into
