He Was “Grrrreat!”

May 2, 2014 by Harvey Kalmenson 3 Comments

For close to 25 years, Lee Marshall has been a part of our lives here at Kalmenson & Kalmenson. As an acting student, VO actor, and forever a friend, we will affectionately remember him always as the voice of “Tony the Tiger.” Lee passed away Saturday, April 26, 2014. We had the honor of casting […]

Positive Thinking

December 1, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

There are times when I wonder why I write a blog. Many years ago when I first picked up a pen for profit I was told in no uncertain terms to prepare for criticism. At least then I was being paid, and somehow indecision regarding the validity of my work didn’t seem to get to […]

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 […]

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 […]

Revisiting

January 28, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s because digital cameras didn’t exist during my days in the United States Army, that I have maintained a fondness for the snap shots which still remain in my possession today. Taking photos had a certain romance involved with the process. There was always a wait-and-see-what-they-would-look-like flavor to it all. Nothing was instant, especially […]

What influenced me to get into this business?

December 7, 2009 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

If you hang out long enough, and enjoy even a modicum of success, someone is bound to ask you how you got into this business. “How’d you get your start?” is the usual way the question is posed. Others are perhaps more specific; they’ll ask, “How did you get into voice over?” If it happens […]
