make 2008 MY year of victory ! (read all 8 entries…)
more work in another direction 5 months ago

i did an episode last week for season 2 of that children’s cartoon i did last year that had me singing and talking funny—and i’m doing pick ups next week. i also finished my commercial voiceover demo (finally!) so i guess this means that my voiceover career is up and running.

what’s next?

i’m doing a mailing to let casting agents know what i’ve been up to— because they can’t give me the job if they don’t know that i exist.

i’m setting the dates to record my next CD this september, thanks to the jazzmobile win and my income tax stimulus check.

i’m hitting the gym every day for a month, to knock off the last of this day job chunk so i can take new photos for the next project.

onward and upward!

my voiceover demo is DONE! yippee! 5 months ago

dan duckworth at voiceovers unlimited emailed the voiceover demo to me a few hours ago. it’s only about a minute long. i’m absolutely over the moon that i got this done. it sounds fan-freakin’-tastic! don’t believe me? click here to listen for yourself.

i decided i wanted to try my hand at voiceovers because i figured, if i made money when i sing, why not when i talk? i got proactive, i set goals and priorities, and now i’ve got another stream of income, just like that—one that i can stay at home and do, at my leisure in my pjs if i feel like it.

all of this is already starting to pay off: last friday i just recorded an episode for season 2 of PBSwordworld! (i’m the elephant…)
