Looking Back

August 18, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

The other day, for whatever the reason, I found myself wondering about years past, as I looked in the mirror during my early morning “get ready” for work routine. It was a good thing. The way it used to be, way back in the fifth or sixth grade. I’m sure most of you over the […]

From The Heart (mine)

June 13, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

(Besides… we’re talking about actors and actresses.) The search for the answer to the actor’s commercial voice over performance decision making […]

Agents

November 30, 2009 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

Agents. (Necessary, but not necessarily evil.) * The “commercial talent agent;” you will by necessity have to be in a working relationship with them.* Without an agent, the voice over artist has little chance of success (in Los Angeles). It may be of interest if we begin by understanding what an agent actually is, and […]
