Blessed to be voicing

Haven't blogged in awhile. There's so much technology, it's all I can do to keep up on my emails, check in on Facebook, and post a few of my commercials on my Youtube channel. Blogging is theraputic though. I used it to process my cancer diagnosis, all the while voicing my daily voice overs. Amazing what something you love can do for the soul isn't it? I am still on the microphone daily, and feel damn blessed because of it. I joined a Voice Over Talent Bank finally, but find it crazy how many will audition when 50+ have already auditioned for the $125 spot...it can't possibly work that way. Fortunately I made a promise to myself, answer 5 a day, as long as I am the first 10. Sure enough I booked 2 gigs! So I have found a way to continue my daily client orders and stray a bit into the unknown territory. I've devised a little method to increase my contacts.... I save my scripts then scour them to find out the production companies name and the Producer who is seeking the right voice for their project, then search for them on LinkedIn and ask for the connection invite.It is never ending, and that's the way I believe it should be to stay ontop of it in the Voice Over biz. I've only booked 2 gigs through my Agent this year, but I correct myself as soon as I think "only", because to allow that small ounce of negative thinking for one moment is a huge no-no for me..I booked an AARP piece and a Kaiser piece and one of them I was recording in the infamous Fantasy Recording Studios! Talk about a dream come true. If those walls could talk.It was a Voice Over experience I will always remember. I continue to dream for that National, damn I want to land one of those , you know the one that will give me residuals. That would certainly be one of my bucket list's check off item.My friend tells me it's out of my hands. it's in God's hand, so I am to tell God everyday, "God I am yours today, do what you need to do with me" I can't figure out why he is holding out on Me, I just can't figure it out. So I continue to take in these accomplishemnts feeling blessed and have to trust it will come one day. I am blessed to be voicing, I am blessed God gave me the voice I have and the perserverence to keep going at it.
