I 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…
DetailsI’m thrilled to be back in the voice over game again! I was taken out of commission for a while by something you pretty much need in the VO biz if you’d like to be somewhat successful. It’s called a vocal cord. A special thanks to the numerous valued clients that hung in there with…
DetailsIt’s been a while since I dropped you a line. I last sent Christmas greetings and said Happy New Year! Well, I hope 2007 has turned out that way so far. While I’m at it, happy belated Easter, Passover, St. Patrick’s Day and you may have been somewhat festive for Groundhog Day! The reason for…
DetailsOn Camera: I was recently cast as a reporter in a 2-part mini- series, ‘H20 II: The Trojan Horse‘. The production was written, produced by and stars, Canadian actor Paul Gross. Our American friends would know him for portraying a Canadian Mountie on the hit CBS show ‘Due South’. He’s a great guy to work…
DetailsDiction-“eh”-ry This past August I had the distinction to work as diction coach on a new TV movie adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel The Robber Bride which was filming in Toronto. I was contacted by the production company to “Canadianize” the sound of British actress Amanda Root (Jane Eyre), pictured at left on set, and…
