Kidding Around

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving.  So I’d like to thank you for being part of my life – in a business capacity, as an associate, friend or family member.  (If stateside, same sentiment applies during American Thanksgiving next month) I’d also like to share some news that means a great deal to me personally.  About someone I’ll…

In the Presence of Drake

Hoping this finds you well and perhaps planning time to relax over the next couple of months.  In the meantime it’s the ol’ nose to the grindstone.  Or in my case – mouth to the microphone.  The grindstone deal sounds painful. What has the coolio meter flickering?  I’m currently recording animation sessions at the same…

Several Seasons to Celebrate

Hey there, hi there & ho ho ho there! Happy December. Here I am to spread my own unique brand of festive joy with the holiday season upon us.The other season is almost here. Winter. Jack Frost officially rings our bell at  11:58 pm (ET) on December 21st. Around that same time his summer sibling…

Suiting-up for Work

I hope you had a chance to enjoy those summer months/weeks/days.   Alas, *blink* GONE! We were lucky to embark on an August road trip to Canada’s beautiful east coast, including whale-watching, Sea-doo-ing, sea-fooding & sight-seeing. And plenty of driving: over 4,500 km (2800 miles) in 2 weeks – through Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward…

Cross-Border Birthdays + Trailer VO

If you hear partying & fireworks from your upstairs neighbours it’s because we’re doing some national celebrating ourselves for Canada Day, July 1st. That day in 1867 when igloos coast…

Voice Over Branding – The Weather Network

As the branding voice for Canada’s national televised weather channel, The Weather Network, I have the pleasure of providing voice over intros & extros, on a weekly basis, for the various on-air weather features and segments. As with most voice branding or imaging – continuity is crucial. This is one of the key elements that…

VO Range: Serious to Light

 If you’re like me you’re counting the days before a little summertime R&R.  But before I put my feet up I’ll be giving them a workout in the Relay for Life June 13th in Toronto, raising funds in the fight against cancer.   I lost mum to cancer 5 years ago.  She would’ve turned 91…

Same Sound – New Look

 I trust you’ve dusted off the cobwebs from old man winter and are perhaps enjoying nice temperatures for the first time in 2015.  Toronto experienced its coldest winter in 4000 years.  And now we’re in that sweet spot with the thermometer somewhere between prehistoric frostbite and the molten lava comfort of July & August.  …
