Winner Notification!

June 20, 2011 by Rowell

On a day in which my only time before the microphone was for freebies…

On a day in which the only calls to book my studio were for recording someone else’s voice…

…and the only other calls were from automated bill collectors…

I got a card in the mail!

Not an e-card (though I do love those)…a REAL card.  Hand-written.  Not some nice note from a beginner I’d helped with career advice, or a fellow producer needing a hard-to-find sound effect.  This was from someone I consider a seasoned professional, letting me know what an “inspiration” I’ve been to a fellow becalmed voice actor.  ‘Seems without realizing it, I have both perserverance and tenacity!  (My mother would use the terms:  “bullheaded” and “contrary-ness”.)  …and, evidently, having that on display can be encouraging to others going through similar circumstances.

It was one of those days most of us…unless we’re positive powerhouses of promotional persuasion, or have a superbly accented voice and need only send out rate cards and appointment availabilites…  Yeah.  It was another one of those days.

But with that card, and that thought…especially sent by someone I consider a model of what I should be, professionally…well…

I feel like a WINNER!!!

    Twenty something years ago and new in the Carolina market, I hired an actress for a small on-camera role. All went well; the project complete I moved on to the next thing. Much to my surprise and delight, I soon received a Thank You card from the actress. It made my day. All these many years later and I still hire her for both on-camera and voice over work. Her gracious note travels with me in my briefcase and is never far away. It is one of my most prized professional possessions.

    Rowell,

    May your blessings multiply until they are stacked as high as your talent; which by the way, is a very tall stack indeed. I’ve received a few notes of encouragement and thanks through the years and each one has left an eduring, positive, impression on me.

    Be well,
    Bob
