The Voice Over callback

To book a gig is euphoric. To get a callback is hopeful. Leapfrog called me back!!! My direction was superb from Kevin. I get ahead of myself...and begin thinking "if I get this, I'm in"! It's a feeling I want to hold onto. An educational game for young girls...oh to book it! It's an area of voice overs I want to grow in, this is my opportunty. I decided on the way home to play my positive thinking CD...There I was repeating everything they say, and realizing I am not practicing positive thinking as much as I should. I need to get into my vortex....get to that place that is buzzing with alive feelings-the place I use to be in whenI was chasing my Radio dream. I remember it all so well...feeling so hopeful it would vibrate my body. That's where I need to be with my voice overs, that is where I need to get myself to...I love that place, it's the vortex, it brings results....I believe I can really do this.

Voicing away!

I am damn grateful for what I do...I LOVE voicing spots. One needs to realize though in this business that there is allot of rejection on the journey... I auditioned2 scripts this past week through my Agent...one was about a DNA packet that is available to the public. Now tell me what voice actor would knowmore about this than me? My DNA, thee DNA that marked my colon cancer, my Lynch Syndrome. The reason I had colon cancer AND uterine cancer. You'd think I nailed it, but no, the creative team found someone else...if they really would've given me a shot at it, if I was off a bit in the delivery, I would think I certainly could be directed easily. it would take a mere minute for me to escape into the mindset of delivering information about DNA-but nope I didn't get it...Wow....then I get a callback to voice for LeapFrog...now that is a dream come true...Kevin, the Producer was terrific.Directed me in a manner in which he felt the team would be leaning towards. I did what he said, and after each take, I would get a "great!" from Him....Here it is days away and no word. Upon departing he says.."it's up to the Disney folks"...so here I am waiting and hoping and praying I book again soon. It is all subjective, it is all a crapshoot. Anyone who thinks Voice Over is easy...is crazy! Tomorrow is a new day, and I will voice act every script with passion and love it all again.....I still can close with: I am grateful for what I do! I LOVE voicing spots.
