What a Great Feeling when your CUSTOMER says “Thank You!”

August 6, 2010 by Rowell

We’re supposed to be the grateful ones, right? In the best of situations, we’re paid to do what we love and have fun doing. And if we’re smart, we always thank our clients and everyone (engineers, agents, etc) who made it possible for us to have that magic moment. But the best of times are […]

I Rate a “Five-NICE” from Nancy Wolfson!

August 5, 2010 by Rowell

If you’ve even thought about getting some training in voiceovers, you’ve at least heard the name, Nancy Wolfson. She’s been lauded as a woman with an expert ear for what top-level voice casting people expect.

I particularly empathize with him over his reaction to the lady who lives […]

In one great bit from a Radio show in my collection, George feeds her the straight line for […]

And You Think YOU’VE Had The Recording Session From Hell…!

July 10, 2010 by Rowell

I’d known about it since last fall, bought it for myself as a Christmas present, only in late Spring got a chance to listen through most of it un-interrupted, and just this past week finished the audio epic on the drive to an otherwise wasted on-camera audition. I refer to the audio version of “The Screwtape […]
