It’s a very old and over worked cliché – you know, the one about how time keeps flying by. I would guess everybody has said it at one time or another. Only the very young little kids, awaiting something great like Christmas morning, or summer vacation to begin, measure time as if it were at…
On any given day it will occur. When a moment is just for me, not to be shared. Not because I object to sharing, but rather sometimes I find it better to keep a feeling and the emotions which were brought on by a moment, unannounced and, without warning, to myself. I don’t know, it’s…
Not a sports team; they influenced my life, although I can’t attest to whether or not they did so on purpose. They could be anybody, but today they belong to me. They were my teachers at Public School 233, from the second through the fifth grade. In retrospect, I don’t think they cared for me….
Of all the amazing changes I’ve seen and experienced first hand in my lifetime, nothing compares with the internet, and with the far-reaching effect of writing a blog. I can remember a few moons ago, hearing from an actor friend of mine, who was calling me from the other side of this planet to tell…
I’m in my eighteenth year of going up and back every workday from my home in Encino to Burbank. A conservative estimate makes it thirty five hundred round trips, to date. While I love my work… there have been a few times when I really didn’t feel like going to Burbank, for one reason or…

Broad statements are so much fun to make. It’s probably impossible to make a broad statement without causing some form of human reaction. As a matter of fact, causing reaction is what I do for a living; I either cause a reaction or stimulate an attitude in order to convey the meaning of what the…
“For professionals only. Should not be attempted at home (alone)!” When producing your voice over DEMO, precautions must be taken. Hopefully you’re working with folks who have been doing sound editing and direction for enough years to become proficient at their craft. Ask about their credentials. Who have they worked for? This isn’t a time…
You enter the audition booth only to find that your dialogue partner is a dud; a guy or gal who can’t read, can’t act, had garlic for dinner the night before, and is in favor of paying more income tax. At first you might want to say, “Oy vey, why me God?” Then you realize…
“It’s all in the feeling process.” Hk The statement contained in the box above was placed in a box by me in order to describe the person who made the statement. Said person is of course a complete dummy. Voice over is as competitive an acting craft as any other. Each and every successful actor…
