As a wypipologist, the one thing I can not understand is why people think it's ok to just walk up and (1) try to pet someone's dog without asking or (2) continue to try to pet someone's dog when they've been told no. #lookdonttouch
The troublesome siblings.
People wanna talk about Erin Andrews and how she's not "as hot" as she used to be. She's out there doing her damn job and doing her job pretty damn well. Her job is about capability and she is beyond capable. All these horn dogs can STHU.
The FacePlace is no longer on my phone. I've got several VO groups that provide valuable info and my trivia page, but that's all that will be used for at this point. FB has officially become that 10mm wrench you lose and then buy a new one when you actually need it, then lose it again.
So happy to do another episode of Trivial Warfare - Black History edition! Go check it out on Spotify, iTunes, and wherever you check out podcasts.
Finally back! Way to forget your password and lock yourself out, ya big dummy.
Doing it tonight, but I need a better regiment to follow. I feel like I'm walking into a gun and starting at machines without a plan.
Been going thru a patch of doubt the last few wks. I plan on hopping in the booth and then I worry about whether I'll be good enough. If I'll be good enough. I thought I found my way out. Still doing script analysis, watching videos, reading, writing scripts. But I fear the booth? #VO #voiceover
Stay safe out there!
Testing out the voice while hosting trivia tonight. We'll see if we're 100%. Almost done with my character scripts and really hope to have these things recorded and edited by week's end!
I thought about getting one of those NFC cards through Dot. Looking at yours, maybe having a face to the brand might be better.
Voice actor here in Detroit. An old dog that's new to the game and learning all I can to pursue a dream!
In motion today:
- 4wk VO Intensive w/ Barry Shapiro starting 1/16
- 2wk VO Intensive w/ Allie Silver of DDO starting 3/20
- 5 coaching sessions with Anne Garguzza starting 1/31
I will. Once I get rid of COVID or flu or whatever this 8+ day crapfest in my body is gone!
I need to not listen to this one in the car! Driving during some of the monologues in Chapters 4 and 5 have gotten me lost. Need to back up and put the headphones on, but I am loving your range of emotions. Definitely giving me inspiration to work on a character reel and send it over to you.
2025 VO goals:
- Record first demo reel
- Publish website
- 25 auditions biweekly
- Attend voice acting classes, workshops, & private coaching
- Network with VAs (and be better with networking)
- Be a mentee to someone in the industry
- Create a character reel
- Land 1 role in a VO serial
Just finished yesterday. What a wild ride! Really enjoyable and now checking out The Lake on the Moon.
Much appreciated! I promise not to overload. Gonna work on my 2025 goal list and plan tasks from there. First question tho: how do you keep yourself accountable to the goals you want to achieve?
I'm taking a VO Intensive course next month and signed up for corporate narration coaching as well. Definitely want to get into promo work like your Mavericks read. If you're interested in taking a newbie like me as a mentee, I'm game.
Now that is something I'd listen to!
Nice!
Slow today working on the edit and cleanup process, but busted out 7 auditions on Voices. I may not get the spots with so much competition, but feeling pretty good about putting in the work and leveling up.

While I don't have a lot of experience, if you have any small roles, I would love to audition when you start working on the new season!
I mean, I might have gotten to the Costco membership card scanner much faster (and scared off the AT&T salespeople).
If I weren't driving, I would have listened to that episode with my eyes closed. Passing this along to all my friends who love a well told story!
Glad to be back in the booth tonight with a VO workout hosted by Jill Perry of Atlanta Voiceover Studio. But now after listening to one episode of #PartialVeil, I feel like @allisoncossitt.bsky.social and the cast is sending my VO journey in a new direction.
That was amazing! I grew up with my older brother listening to radio shows like The Shadow, Suspense, and X Minus Zero. I never thought that I would be interested in doing work like this (or think it was still viable), but I am super excited by the thought of it! I would love a project like this!
#SiriusXM and #NFL are really trying to screw my days up. Just listening to my regular shows when out pops a commercial "Hello, everyone. It's your favorite president, Donal-"
Catching up on some episodes of Voice Acting Mastery and @crispinfreeman.bsky.social had me saying out loud "I am not a voice actor" (episode 67). I know I'm new to the game, and I've only had one commercial gig six months ago, but that shit stung. Inspired to put in work. #BeDoHave #VO

Hey folks! I'm starting to think about my next indie game & thought this starter pack would be handy...
