6 Webisode Ads
Around 4:30pm this afternoon, I auditioned for a role in a series of six very funny little “webisode” ads. The tone is delightfully tongue in cheek, and it turns out the clever scripts were written by Dewey Moss, the Creative Director doing the casting for the Bernard Hodes Group. About a half an hour later, …
Smurfs 3-D!!
I’ve just been cast in my first major motion picture! It’s the Smurfs 3D movie, due out in August of 2011. I have one scene as a waiter in an upscale restaurant who has to cope with bad behavior from Hank Azaria and Sofia Vergara. I have no lines, just silent reactions to their villainous …
Sondheim on Sondheim
I’ve been enthalled by the work of Stephen Sondheim since my freshman year at Harvard, when a college friend played the LP of A Little Night Music for me in his dorm room many years ago. I had never heard anything like it, and I fell in love. I decided right there that I had …
Mr. and Mrs. Fitch
I love John Lithgow. I’d love him even if I hadn’t worked with him on that fun video for New York Public Library. I also love Jennifer Ehle, and sure hope to work with her someday. I also love Douglas Carter Beane’s plays. So I had to see Mr. and Mrs. Fitch. I found myself …

We enjoyed the performances greatly, and recognized the characters as people we could have seen on the Slope’s 7th Avenue any day. It was especially fun …
A Tea Party Symposium

As requested, I gave an informal talk about how I “fell down …
My Voiceover Presentation Was a Hit!
I had a great time presenting my seminar about proper use of voiceovers in eLearning at the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions Conference in Orlando, Florida. My audience was attentive and appreciative, and we had a great discussion. Word of mouth and written feedback afterward was terrific–great to know my talk “hit the spot” with attendees! …

February 2010
I had a number of good auditions this month, and a number of callbacks from those. No bookings, but great feedback, and so I press on! I also did more Lewis Carroll-related interviews in anticipation of the March release of the Tim Burton “Alice” film sequel. Interviews included a recorded interview for NPR, and a …
