I hope you’re well as we decompress for the holidays and ramp up for the New Year. May you have wall-to- wall health & happiness in 2011. 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…
DetailsFarewell, 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…
DetailsThe one person that really encouraged and supported me every step of the way was no stranger to the microphone herself. Her name was Peggy Delaney. She was a singer, actress, pianist, event producer and radio announcer. She was really so much more. She was also my mother. As a Mother’s Day tribute I would…
DetailsThanks 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…
DetailsI hope you’ve been keeping well and that St. Patrick throws a little luck o’ the Irish your way today and throughout the year. It’s time for your friendly, wee update as to what’s been happening on this end. To the right, our 4-year old, Teaghan, putting a jump in her step with a full…
DetailsI hope you’re healthy and happy on that end. Things keep motoring on this end. So, in this issue: We’ll ‘Keep on Truckin’ I’ll introduce you to ‘Mike‘ My official reason to thank you; And, I have a couple of fun things to share… Yes, fun follows me around. Her name is Teaghan. At three-and-a-half years…
DetailsHope you’re doing well on your end. Since my last note in September I’ve been on the air and in the air. In the last six weeks I’ve journeyed from New York City to the Panamanian rainforest. However, no trip was more fun or spooktastic than the jaunt around my street for Halloween. I…
DetailsFarewell summer! We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the, umm, actually, it rained in these parts most of the time. In fact, soggiest on record. So, we finally dried off from summer and here it is, autumn with the nicest weather of the, well, summer. But, by golly, we did manage some…
DetailsI 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,…
DetailsI 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…
DetailsI hope the New Year has truly been happy for you so far, or at least healthy and manageable. Personally, I couldn’t be better. Certainly, that is, compared to last year. You see, between my burst appendix last March and the rib-smashing (7), spleen-rupturing motorcycle accident five months later, 2007 redeemed itself just in the…
DetailsHappy Halloween! I hope you’ve been keeping well. It’s time to “shell out” the latest for you. Teaghan turned two on October 22nd. We’ve been preparing this li’l pumpkin for the arrival of her new sibling in December. When asked whether she’d prefer a little brother or sister she simply replies “NO!”. This could give a whole new…
