HAPPY THOUGHTS, TODAY & BEYOND!

Yea! We just compiled the full “FAN CONS & FLYING FINGERS” CD collection (Over 8 hours on the USB “Collected Works Compilation” & posted special material, previews, & revues. The final package from inception to final mix & after audio mastering took almost a year & features both the “Fan Cons & Flying Fingers” CD (Almost 80 minutes of wild character-driven silliness & rockin’ music…inspired initially by the LA “Stan Lee” Con but also by the fans & great cons everywhere) and the complete USB with all the music, comedy, additional VO, & art, pics, & graphics. It’s now available after the official debut, last year. I love it when you come by to share the wonder!

It’s great to sometimes look back to see the magic when everything gets put together. There’s something amazing that happens when a creative team “bakes the cake”. As performers, we are only as good as the sum total of everybody’s contribution to that final project. So, this time, I’ve chosen what could have been nothing more than a simple ad campaign…but what has become much more. So here’s an example of what the whole team created. I truly loved working on the Travelers Insurance campaigns. Visually & in concept, they really hit the mark, even with a relative slacker VO guy (ask my relatives) ...yeah it was moi! Honestly, I never met the dog or sang along with Ray LaMontagne…except at home!

I’ve been fortunate to have been allowed to enjoy a varied career in voiceover. In addition to traditional VO commercials & promo announcer work, I’ve interviewed major stars, co-hosted game-shows, worked alongside my own animation heroes in iconic shows, films, & games. “Fan Cons & Flying Fingers” is more than just a musical journey. The musical & VO zaniness also reflects on the creative spark & fun of a lifetime doing what we do & the ongoing desire to share the experience!

THEY were awesome!

Now, after finally releasing “Fan Cons & Flying Fingers”, I just sent out a new spot read to my agent! And, as always, I’m struck by the feeling, “This sure beats workin' for a livin'“ ...not the oldie, but the actual gig! Oh Yeah!

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT THE CON SOON! HAPPY FAN-CON FUN!

FUTURE 2-DAY CLASS ACT WORKSHOPS!

Past Voice-Over Day Camps Recamped, or is it Recapped?!

On 2 consecutive Saturdays in July, we "voice-camped" on our Colorado2-day VO intensives, equivalent to about 4 weeks of an 8-week VO class (refer to "VO Essentials" on the tutorial page of this site). And, after guesting at Stan Lee's LA Comic Con on The Duck Tales Panel & with fellow VO Pros & fans, we added another class. Using VO game-play, we explored tools & techniques to become highly skilled in a competitive market. We shared our exclusive tutorials & concepts to develop & enhance raw talent into “pro skills” for after the workshop & beyond. Among our roster, Ashley L., returned again from previous "Class Act Workshops" & booked a vid-game. Sisters Baylee & Allex H., who also voiced with us, are now working in LA. Tanja G. flew in from Raleigh NC, & has finished her 1st demo. Marcus W., Syd M., Rick R., Naiche W., & Tom L., all explored the "wild world" of voice-over & Marcus is now signed & booking. In another class roster, Barry R., Don D., Thomas F., & Melissa W. all created alien dialogue, strong characters, & each upped their game. And Joe E. even drove over 10 hours from Idaho for the 2 week-end workshops & then hit the road with strong concepts, new skills, & a brand new voice-over character/animation demo. Emily N. signed with solid agent representation & booked her 1st pro VO “gig” just after we wrapped the class.

All have pretty much agreed that we had a "fabtastic" time. And it must be true, evidenced by the fact that I always edit the VO fun for about 2 weeks after the class. "Whew! It can be tiring, but it’s truly awesome!" --Brian C.
