Viola Roberts went to Seattle to promote two new audiobooks released in February: The Body in The Bathtub and The Venom in The Valentine. Well. Viola’s VOICE went (Psssst! That’s me). Her creator was there as well, author Shéa Macleod. This is us, having a blast after not seeing each other for over 2 years!…

Forums are such an interesting place to hang out (when you have the time). This week I participated in an interesting thread about listeners who speed up their audiobooks. It’s a good topic for me to think about as I edit The Body In The Bathtub, due out at the end of this month. Some…

Thanksgiving is about friends and family coming together, sharing a meal and gratitude, regardless of their disparate beliefs or points of view. I adore the smarty-pants nature of this Finnemore sketch that brings beings together, called “Interfaith Conference.” It is especially poignant right now, after the end of Daylight Savings Time, when the sun simply…

This week my kitchen remodel Project Manager put the lead carpenter in charge of “day to day” for my kitchen remodel. At first, I thought this would be great. The guy doing-the-doing would be the guy organizing what gets done. No middleman. But that isn’t how it worked. The Lead would have a conversation with…

Impostor syndrome has me down today. Worry that no one will ever like anything I write, because I’m not a real writer (or not a real good one), and everything has been done, and I should bin it all and get a ‘real job.’ As the sketch points out, Rome wasn’t built in a day.…

Trust the Process. Follow the Process. Do NOT skip any step in the process.

In my work-life, I continue to learn the difference between an amateur voice actor and a professional one. Amateurs may “know” what to do, but haven’t repeated the process enough times (or recently enough) to do a task without a checklist, cheat sheet, or laborious pre-work. Professionals have gone through the process so frequently and fastidiously that…

One year ago I wrote the following content. Now that I have a bona-fide website and blog, I am revising and sharing it here. I am feeling a little competent about something and want to share: For each character I “voice” (meaning I change my voice slightly in some way to distinguish between characters) I lay…
