The four-week adventure was both extremely exciting & exhaustively extreme. We stormed 10 castles and conquered 2000 miles of the narrowest, windiest roads from the Highlands to the Aran Islands.
My portable VO studio allowed me to accommodate clients and then return to the Irish countryside just a few feet out the door.
Among other things on the too-ra-loo-ra-loo-to-do list was kissing the Blarney Stone again for a “gift of the gab” top-up. So I was rarin’ & ready to talk it up upon returning to thehome studio.

I supplied the voice of thenews anchorand pulled out my Bavarian accent for the maniacalGerman officer– a character as nefarious as the demented doctor himself.
It was a full house for the September 6th opening night screening where the twisted tale was well received. Of course it was. Who wants to be on the business end of a death ray?!
