I recently contributed my voice to an animated short film being created by the very talented writer/director/animator Alexandra Huzsvai. The piece is called Majnun’s Dream Theater Shadow Show, and I play the role of The Living Skeleton, a mysterious character who appears before the heroine when things look bleak. I’m delighted to be able to [...]
I’m delighted to announce that I now offer a comprehensive set of voiceover samples on the Voiceovers page of my web site. I’ve always had the commercial v/o demo available, but now I’ve added a host of others in a variety of categories, including eLearning, Documentary, Animation, World Dialects, and more. A number of the [...]
I’ve just returned from sunny and warm Orlando, Florida. I’m glad to be home and back in New York, but I sure did love that Orlando weather! I was teaching at the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions 2011 conference, and had a fantastic time. I created and taught a full-day pre-conference certificate program on How to [...]
Well, I love the works of Lewis Carroll (after all, I’m President Emeritus of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America), and I love animation (with a special place in my heart for the painstaking labors of stop-motion animation), so perhaps this project was inevitable! Nevertheless, I was delighted when director Saranne Bensusan invited me [...]
I have to say, by and large, I genuinely like the casting directors I meet. They tend to be smart, positive, and enthusiastic audiences. Occasionally, I run across the rare exception. I remember being at a studio with multiple auditions going on a few months ago, and at one point a casting director came out [...]
I was delighted to learn that Jenny Woolf, author of the fascinating new biography The Mystery of Lewis Carroll, greatly enjoyed the two free nonsense poem audio downloads I created for Storypods Audiobooks over in Oxford, England. On her Facebook page, Jenny wrote:
“I’ve been in email correspondence with Andrew Sellon, LCSNA president, but never [...]
If you have or know kids grades 1-6, check out this great free e-Learning site! I contributed the voiceovers for the Guided Tour, and all the content is created by e-Learning professionals volunteering their time, which I think is fantastic. Kids don’t need to register to use the site, so parents don’t have to worry [...]
I became acquainted with Liz and Francis, the brains behind the Oxford-based Storypods Audiobooks when I reviewed their charming audio production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland a couple of years ago. This year, Liz told me they were going to sponsor a nonsense writing competition, and asked me to be one of their judges. I [...]
When I presented my eLearning voiceovers seminar at the eLearning Guild’s March 2010 conference in Orlando, I met a lot of bright, creative, super-friendly people. One of those folks was Michael Williams, who is Director of Courseware Development for a great non-profit called “e-Learning for Kids.” They run a web site of free interactive elearning [...]
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! [...]
