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 […]

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 […]

1859 As A Philosophical Abstraction, Or Maybe Not.

May 19, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens. Excerpt: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, […]

(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 […]

When People Talk (To Each Other)

April 12, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

“Conversation” Talk about ever-changing. The advent of our electronic age has influenced our lives and has certainly placed a variety of new pressures on today’s voice over talent. But guess what? The voice is definitely secondary to the performance, and voice over as we know it remains an acting craft. As a matter of fact, […]

A Word To and For the Wise

March 15, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

A word to and for the wise. Or, in the event you’re one of those extreme cases of being an over indulgent, self aggrandizer; living life with a singular lust for ones own selfish betterment, please disregard the word “wise,” which I’ve selected as the title alliteration for this blog. Contrary to what you may […]

Shared Passion

March 4, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

The teachers who do it, those who are filled to the brim with the most valiant substance God has given us – they are the truest of teachers. They are the ones who, by nature, teach with a display from inside out. They are the teachers being recognized for there unselfishly “Shared Passion.” I doubt […]

Learning to Learn

February 24, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment
