It's 2024. It's hard to believe that it's been nearly 4 years since Covid started in early 2020. Who would have thought that we would have made it this far? I like to take this time of the year to evaluate the last year as well as look forward to what's to come. 2023...
I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have a radio station down here called WSB. (Welcome South Brother) It's been around for a million years and is currently the biggest talk radio/news station in the city. There's a long time host on there named Clark Howard. He bucks...
We've all been there. Standing around at a voice over convention or get together, holding that little plate of half eaten pigs in a blanket or that weird tiny quiche that you have no intention of finishing. You spy an opportunity to throw that food in the nearest bin...
Have you ever been walking somewhere down the street and that little voice inside your head comes to life? It may tell you to turn and go the other way or to look behind you, helping you avoid possible danger. Being aware of your surroundings will help you stay as...
Now, I have to admit, the title of this post is a little misleading. We are in the dog days of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere (the best hemisphere, let's be honest), and all anyone can seem to post about on social media is how hot it is. Yes, we know it's hot....

As an voice talent, we are always on the lookout for new work. We scour social media, pay to plays, freelance sites (eek) and even Craigslist. We email production companies, advertising agencies, and past clients. It's a never-ending stuggle. But there are times where...
It occurred to me while I was sitting at my laptop pouring over the latest posts on social media the other day that there's a lot of noise out there. I see posts all the time from other voice talent touting their latest projects that they've done or the client they...
I am from the South, specifically Atlanta (Northside babies, let's hear ya!). Coca Cola is also from the South, also Atlanta-ish. Anyone knows that when you're down here and you order a drink at a restaurant, it's a "coke" no matter what you want. It's not "soda" or...
For those who've known me for any length of time, you know that I'm overweight. I can't remember exactly when my obsession with food began. I look at pictures of me back when I was 8-10 and I was a skinny kid like most kids. Puberty hit me and so did an appetite,...
