First bit: The professional side of things continues to go well. Very well, in fact. And it makes me grin when I think of it. I’ve recently listened through the first draft of the pilot episode that will launch the new children’s radio show for which I’ve been cast. It’s sounding great so far -
Things have been happily buzzing along with professional VO work lately. Here’s the latest on a couple of projects currently on the hopper: First, greatly enjoying playing with the various character voices I’m developing for the (previously mentioned) upcoming preschool-level iPad app. Such fun! I just keep thinking, “My kiddos will get to play this!
I’m a runner. Not an exceptionally fast one, but I do try to get out and run as often as I can, and I thoroughly enjoy it. And as I cover the miles, I listen. To music, podcasts, and audiobooks. I’ve been in a happy rut lately, returning time and again to the hilarious comedy,
I’ve said many times (and it bears repeating) that if I could choose one mentor in the audiobook genre of the voice acting field - or a mentor in dramatic arts, in general - it would be none other than the vastly gifted British actor Richard Armitage.

A quick post for today. I just remembered another newly published project I'd wanted to share here. The most recent reading of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. A fabulous play by one of the most brilliantly profound and hilarious playwrights in English literature. And to top it off, I was asked to narrate
Been making a rather mad rush lately to catch up on loads of LibriVox readings that have been piling up on my to-do list. As such, I recently finished and posted my contribution to a collaborative reading of Mary Augusta Ward’s classic British novel Lady Rose’s Daughter. An excellent story and an enjoyable read…though my
…and I feel quite blessed to have seen a bit of this particular start, firsthand. I must first give the disclaimer that this post has nothing whatsoever to do with voice acting or linguistics or anything of that sort…rather, as I just can’t help but be elated by today’s U.S. Gold in Women’s Beach Volleyball,
My husband, Nick, just returned from a rock climbing excursion. Many good things accompanied his homecoming, out of which three particular items stand out. First, he returned in one piece, for which I am very thankful. Second, he - along with a dear friend/honorary-little-brother of ours who went with him - got to have an
New Project: Character voices and narration for upcoming educational (preschool level) iPad app. Super excited about this one. Mostly because it just sounds like loads of fun! That, and it’s something my kids will be able to play and enjoy! And, well, to have my kids get to play a game for which I’m doing
There is something in my heart that warms with every opening of the Olympic Games. And last night’s ceremonies were no exception. So I must now ask you to forgive me for waxing idealistic for a moment... I appreciate the solidarity. The overall awareness of the essential brotherhood and sisterhood of humankind, in general. The
