This 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…
I 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…
I 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.

Farewell, 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…
The 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…
Thanks 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…
