“That’s MISTER President, Axe Cop!”

March 3, 2011 by Rowell

Even though I’ve known about the character of “Axe Cop” for awhile, I didn’t really know how to describe it. I’m still not sure I do. All I knew was that one of my internet friends, Dave DeAndrea, has done a few audio versions of these comic book adventures dreamed up by a six-year-old and […]

“Phoning” In A Performance

February 12, 2011 by Rowell

As I’ve gotten more training in voiceovers, I’ve been conflicted by those like Marice Tobias who profer…yea, insist…that wearing headphones during performance limits what the voice actor can do.

Better news: you won’t have to stand outside at a cold intersection with a cardboard sign to get the invitation. Better news yet: while you won’t get tons of fabulous job offers and […]

January 11, 2011 by Rowell

Sometimes ya just gotta know when to use a pause to its best effect. Radio/TV/Comedy legend Jack Benny knew that better than anyone. He even let his writers poke fun at it in what turned out to be a classic exchange on his radio program, when confronted by a holdup man played by Mel Blanc. […]

New Year, Old Friends

January 8, 2011 by Rowell

I don’t care if it’s a late Christmas Present or a New Year’s gift, I’ll take it! Animation author and expert Jerry Beck over at CartoonBrew.com got permission to post a terrific little promotional record made by some of my early voice-actor idols: Daws Butler, Don Messick, June Foray, and Doug Young. And it still holds […]
