When ‘Do-It-Yourself’ Just Won’t Do

April 30, 2010 by Rowell

I just read about the comedy-of-painful errors an online friend went through, trying to do some repair job which could have gone so much simpler and faster if he’d just paid a professional to do it. More than a couple of us, in response, drew the parallel to people we Voice Talent complain about who […]

You Meet The Nicest People In…Or Thru…An ISDN Booth

April 28, 2010 by Rowell

When I went full-time freelance, it wasn’t long before the idea of having a mic booth equipped with ISDN began to appeal to me. Aside from the intial start up cost, it was a no-brainer. I’d already burned out an engine in my treasured Camaro just driving to and from busy studios an hour-and-a-half away. […]

April 20, 2010 by Rowell

I have a few official agents so far…professionals who put my name forward for work or let me know about work i might audition for, in exchange for a percentage of what I book through their efforts. And I’m very grateful to have their attention and assistance. Lately, I’ve worked to better present myself as someone […]

sometimes ya just need a “clark kent” day.

I didn’t get anything done today. No, that’s not quite right. I didn’t get any “business” done today. That wasn’t the original plan, it just happened. And ya know what? It feels GREAT. The world didn’t end because I wasn’t glued to my computer console trying to catch up on one set of deadlines, work […]
