Everybody's favorite voice instructor, Pat Fraley brought to my attention the crucial need of a voice actor he's very familiar with. Her name is Nicole Nielson, and she has the rare Parry Romberg disease. I don't personally know Nicole, but I know Pat, and he wouldn't put out the word on something...
My weekend was quiet...which meant I spent a lot of time on the internet. Big surprise, huh? But what I found out was a heckuva lot...only retrenching my belief that "if I rest, I rust" (German proverb: rast ich, so rost ich). FIRST I was surprised to see that one of the top community-relations...
Below is an actual email from a client...wavering between two different styles for their production I'm supposed to voice:"Sorry for the delay – we were just about to send it over to you when we got in a debate over what sort of style we were looking for. I originally wanted to do a video similar...
You build your business. You set your goals. You make progress. What was priority two years ago is a past accomplishment in the new year. For instance, I’ve been putting off too long the need for an efficient, workable, online, intuitive bookkeeping solution. Now that next year’s tax season is...
Your spouse/live-in/significant other/mate/ boy-girlfriend likely has the same problem as my wife does...you're impossible to buy a gift for this season. Grab the link below, and email it to them as a hint. It's Erik Sheppard's 2013 VoiceOver calendar. There is cheesecake, beefcake, and cheeky...

Happy Thanksgiving! If you are reading this, then please know I am grateful for you and your friendship. Today I wish for you all the blessings of family, life, and love. .....Dave Courvoisier
The small town of Greenville, Illinois didn't have a hospital in 1952. My mother gave birth to me in nearby Highland, IL two weeks after my due date. They did that back then. C-sections were rare. I was 10 lbs, 11 oz. I'm thrilled to have lived well this long...but I'm anxious about being "60"....
Gone are political ads. Welcome holiday ads! ...after a long night doing political coverage...that's about all I got. 🙂 I'm sure there must be other effects...and those will be evident in the months ahead. It's all good...the long election is over, and it's time to move forward to the typical...
One really needs a vacation to get over your vacation. Ya know? This time, I kept Sunday in reserve to get back on track, and even that wasn't enough. The idyllic Midwest Farm downtime was just what the shrink ordered. But...facing a week's worth of work undone, catching up to email, and licking...
