Festive Foods and Family Feuds

Well, that’s another dozen pages from the calendar! Here’s wishing you the best in the next series of page-turners. ‘Tis the season for festive celebrations, food, and family. And, ‘tis the fifth season for Family Feud Canada. I’m as tickled as a kid on Christmas morning to return as show announcer once again for the iconic game show, hosted…

Dragon For Thrills

Oh sure, there are cool voice-over gigs. But the coolest would be roles like Mission Impossible where I dispatch orders to an elite agent of espionage…or the disembodied voice of Charlie laying out the gameplan for his “Angels”…or even KITT instructing the Hoff from behind the dashboard of the Knight Rider. Well, my day has finally come. As the voice to relay the scenario to…

All The World’s A Stage

My vocation has me recording in small booths. That recording will then be edited to use in a radio or TV commercial, or for a corporate narration such as a medical procedure or eLearning project. Sometimes the recording is used for events like awards dinners or conferences. Occasionally, the client requests that the announcements are done live, side stage, during the…

Food & BeVOrage

I hope you’ve been keeping well. It’s been a while. I’ve been trying to process how to reach out and stay in touch in a seemingly endlessly depressing news cycle. Let’s face it, the pandemic has been a large slice o’ surreal. And just when we thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, that…

Feasting & Feuding

Hope you’ve been keeping well during this peaceful, calm, sane and wonderfully stable period in the history of mankind. Thanks for tolerating another quarterly update. While I attempt to exude an attitude of gratitude on a regular basis nothing beats a little annual reminder. Cue the turkey. Ahh, Thanksgiving. Our friends in the US celebrate the festive autumn…

In The Zone

For this voice-over/acting update I’d like to take you into the zone. Over the past 15 months I realize most of us have been zoned out in a world more like the Twilight Zone. But, if we can use a football metaphor for the pandemic, it appears, in North America at least, we’re in the end zone. You get…

Halloween Hellayear

In 15 years of sending these updates never has the sentiment “I hope this finds you well” been more meaningful. My previous update was at the beginning of summer as Covid restrictions were being eased and people were eager to get outside post-lockdown.  It was cabin fever on a global scale. MINI USA wanted to…

CoVideo Narrations – The New Normal

So, what do you think of 2020 so far? We’re almost at the halfway mark and I haven’t determined if the  glass is half-empty, half-full or just fully nuts. Remember the nuttiest news of early 2020 was Planters killing off Mr. Peanut during the Superbowl?! But I digress. Transition to the “New Normal” has affected all industries and demographics –…
