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

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 […]

In The Pitch Black; Or Maybe Not

May 27, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

“I will tell you what I have learned myself. For me, a long five or six mile walk helps. And one must go alone and every day.”– Brenda Ueland Being alone on a very dark night doesn’t mean you’re in the dark. If you’re on the walk that Brenda recommends, it doesn’t necessarily mean it […]

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, […]
