DetailsI hope 2012 is working out nicely for you so far. It’s got to be better than what the Mayan calendar has in store for us. Ah, let’s cheer up & peek at the Chinese calendar instead (far more optimistic). It’s the Year of the Dragon and good fortune lies ahead. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. I was…
DetailsMy last note to you was at the start of summer which went by quickly once again. I hope you had a chance to enjoy some down time. Look, you’re taking time off right now just reading this. That’s good. This is a special moment we’re sharing. We commandeered a road trip in July from Toronto…
DetailsThis past spring I auditioned for a part in the sequel to the hugely succesful 2010 television hit, ‘Keep Your Head Up Kid – The Don Cherry Story’. I admit that I was apprehensive when my agent notified me about the audition for the role as legendary Canadian sports broacaster Brian Williams. To play a…
DetailsI hope you’ve been keeping well on that end. We’re officially into summer – celebrating Canada Day (July 1st – 1867) and our stateside friends cheering Independence Day (July 4th – 1776). (Ed note: Apparently, it’s best to wait until the kids are done school before you establish your nation). Here’s to a safe…
DetailsI once gave my friends and colleagues a good laugh when I would launch into an over-the-top voice over delivery one would normally only hear in movie trailers. You know, the larger-than-life, in-your-face, thunder-of-the-gods delivery usually associated with the likes of the late, legendary Don la Fontaine. I suppose after mimicking the drama and intensity…
DetailsHey, with the exception of a St. Patty’s Day greeting I haven’t filled you in since Christmas. By golly we’re overdue. So allow me to share some recent highlights from on-camera gigs to voice overs. Controversial mini-series ‘The Kennedys’ will air in over 50 countries – proof that global interest remains high…

DetailsI 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…
