“I Wrote A Blog”

July 19, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 3 Comments

“I Wrote A Blog” Entitled: “From the Heart”; Taking a stand for what you believe and what it means to the actors of Los Angeles and all over the country; perhaps the world. *** Straight from the shoulder was a way of communication taught to me at such an early age, I doubt if I […]

There Will Be Times To Reflect, “As Time Goes By”

July 1, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

In two large corrugated cartons stored in the corner of my office, there are many stories, which will forever remain, not found, and most likely never again to be read by anyone but me. Scripts that began with a dream, and ended in two nondescript boxes in the corner of an office. It took all […]

From The Heart (mine)

June 13, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

What follows has nothing to do with voice over.Perhaps what follows has everything to do with voice over.A past memory, what once was, for my family and me, stimulated a familiar and painful need to share my mind. Who better than actors, creative men and women, with the heart capable of understanding a fellow human […]

I’ve Been a Cheerleader My Entire Life

June 3, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

My God…I’ve been a cheerleader my entire life. That statement isn’t an attempt or a continuance of a hopeless endeavor at me gaining praise. I just do what I do because I do it. But there are times; as a matter of fact there have been a few times when I find myself asking “What […]

On a day in May… A writer writesWhere he’s beenWhere he is Where he’s going All while void of coherenceForgetting his pastUnsure of his presentFearful of his future Then as the success bell tolls He’s congratulated He relates stories of his past Enjoys his present And sells many books predicting everyone’s future Still, perhaps not […]

(A Primer On) Compiling “Ten Thousand Hours Of Experience”

May 6, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

Theater Shows Film Just prior to this monumental period of my life, I had merely dabbled in the world of show biz. My ex-wife’s opinion of what I was doing represented far more than dabbling. A couple of years before, she had asked me pointedly if I didn’t think I was getting a little too […]

It Comes with the Territory

April 29, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”– Thomas Paine, 1776 “It comes with the territory.” We’ve all heard the phrase many times from people – some good, some bad. In any event, when a person delivers the line, “It comes with the territory,” they usually do so with the intent of showing acceptance of […]

Learning to Learn

February 24, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

“In the groove” is a common statement often heard from a wide variety of professional athletes. They speak of how the game around them has slowed down, and how they are seeing the ball or the entire field more clearly than ever before. A golfer remarks about how comfortable he or she feels while addressing […]

What You Have, and What You Were Given

January 27, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

“Let the artist live, let him be enchanted, disappointed, happy; let him suffer, love, and live through the entire gamut of human emotions, but let him at the same time learn to recreate his life and his emotions into art.”– Constantine Stanislavski “Each and every day I will place before you all that I have […]

Goals and Aspirations

December 3, 2010 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

I’ve been privileged to work and be taught by some of our industries most recognized dynamos. I consider myself a gleaner. If a guy or gal had even a modicum of success, the Kalmenson sponge (that’s me) was there to look and listen. Many of da harv’s tricks are nothing more than observances of some […]
