Analogy Apology
Despite some really good discussion generated by my blog yesterday -- Ostrich or Coyote? -- I think it was a weak device for me to use to make my point. I even said so IN the article: "...I’m not going to go too far with this analogy…most such comparisons fail at some point..." Usually that...

Thanks for putting up with my fluffy rural pictorial posts from last week. It wasn't all play...I did bring a portable recording set-up, and managed a couple of lucrative jobs in-between lazing on the porch. 🙄 But a number of other clients were remarkably understanding about my week off. ...

3 Mindsets Every Voice Actor Must Have

New Online VO Resources
