HO HO HO / VO VO VO

Ok, some highlights from the past few months….   Reaching new Heights in Voice Over “Peaking the levels” is an audio expression in voice production. It had new…

Falling back into the Groove

Farewell, summer.  Hello, autumn.  It’s an overdue update since spring’s Mother’s Day message.  It’s been almost six months since I lost my mom to cancer and I still find it strange she’s not here.  March 6th she was raising the Irish flag at Toronto City Hall and a month later she was gone. While it’s…

A Special Mother’s Day

Thanks again for sparing a few minutes of your time to read my most personal newsletter.  Although on this occasion I’m not mentioning recent projects, exciting voiceover jobs or introducing new clients.  I would, however, like to share with you the reason I do what I do.  Also, on a much larger scale, the reason…

Animated & Awarded

I hope things are good on your end and that you’ll have an opportunity for some rest and relaxation this summer.  The blood, sweat and tears of voice over and on-camera demands over the past two months, plus a winter that kept on giving, precipitated a get-out-of-Dodge mode (or Toronto in this case).  So, since I last touched base,…

Swinging into Spring

I trust you survived winter.  It was pretty hard core around the Great Lakes region.  The snow and cold temperatures rivaled the best mother nature threw at us way back in ’39.  Why, by golly, that’s when snowbanks were 12 feet high and we had to tunnel to school through them. Bare footed. You know the deal.  Not…
