I’m Giving A Voiceover Seminar in Orlando! Some great news: I’ve been selected to offer a seminar on adding voiceovers to eLearning projects at the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions conference in March 2010. When I’m not acting, I’m consulting on the creation of eLearning and providing voiceovers for online courses. This seemed like a topic …

Comedy Sketch with John Lithgow! Sometimes really neat things happen really fast. I just filmed a quick comedy sketch with John Lithgow as part of his introduction at the November 2, 2009 Lions Gala at the New York Public Library. Mr. Lithgow could not have been nicer or more fun. The entire production staff and …

I’ve been elected President again! (No, really) I’m delighted to report that I was unanimously re-elected as President of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America for another two-year term. It’s a lot of work, but literacy is such a worthy cause!

King Lear Ruled! I’m thrilled that our production of King Lear at Vermont Stage was a massive hit with both critics and audience members. The production starred Broadway veteran Donald Grody as the tragic title character. The entire production was beautifully cast, designed and directed, and the live percussion soundscape took the production to a …

Inspecting Carol at Vermont Stage was shameless fun. Getting to play a really, really bad actor is one of those treats any actor relishes, and I had a high old time with it. High point: imagine me playing Dickens’ Tiny Tim while channeling Richard III, add a bad wig and — well, you get the …
