I love this community. One of my students from last week’s Learning Solutions 2011 conference alerted me via e-mail yesterday that my Minute Maid ad appeared in Entertainment Weekly, and send me a black & white scan so I could see it. Another friend on Facebook told me the issue date, and armed with that information, another …

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 to …

In an earlier post, I shared my tale of auditioning for and landing a Minute Maid print ad. When the shoot day came, I arrived a little bit early and as expected, the studio was already abuzz with activity. A series of people introduced themselves to me and welcomed me graciously. I was hearing a …
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 …

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 …
I’ve completed my two days of shooting as Dorian, the tense gay TV producer, for the feature film Mamarosh. My second day of shooting also happened to be the last day of shooting for the entire film, so I was there for the final wrap. Over the course of shooting, I met and worked with …
Sometimes great things happen in surprising ways. The independent feature film Mamarosh, which has already completed two-thirds of its filming in Europe, is now shooting the remainder of the film in New York. I auditioned for the role of a pompous cinema manager. Casting directors Brandon Powers and Harley Kaplan were very gracious, and the …
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 for grades …

Well, this is it. The end of the road. At least for my Disengaged Dozen series of video ads. Episode 6, the last of the series, has just been posted on YouTube. This time, my character (Benny the Boss) has to contend with an employee who just can’t seem to manage his time. Know anyone like …

This week, I return as Benny the Boss in the 6-part sitcom series The Disengaged Dozen. My co-star (or is that co-conspirator?) is the very funny Fleur Phillips, who, when not playing withholding killjoy Cher Nothing, is in fact both lovely and delightful. Once again, Benny must find a way to re-engage an eccentric and wayward employee. …
