When the 5th annual NYC VO mixer happens this weekend, I know I'm gonna wish I had spent the money to go...but honestly, it's the time, not the money that I can't afford. I told my VO friend Terry Daniel to take lots of pictures, and speak kindly of me if and when my name arises. I'll be there...

Time and time again I disavow being an expert on ANYTHING. I'm just uncomfortable with it. Maybe...maybe I'm an expert on me...and that's about it. I prefer to say I'm a student. I'm certainly a student of life and people and relationships. I have been for 59 years now. But when people call...
That's a quote straight from VO Coach and producer Nancy Wolfson in this, her 10th mini-video lesson of our weekly series. The comment deserves some context, for sure, and Wolfson's remarks are designed for the female voice actors having an issue with relaxing the voice...letting go of the...
