My friend Liz de Nesnera has been a frequent commenter on this blog for some time now. She’s also a very gifted voiceover talent, as you can clearly hear in her demos, right there on the front page of her web site. In the comments to a recent post, it was suggested more than once that Liz would be a natural to start her own voiceover blog.
Register your vote, yes or no, in the comments to this thread. You’re also welcome to suggest some possible blog names, and sites and/or software that she can use. (As you might be able to tell, I’m rather partial to WordPress, but it’s not for everyone. There’s also WordPress.com, where you can host your blog free.)
Can I pay people NOT to Vote???????
OMG, Bob……
(hiding in a corner, now…)
Liz
Liz,
Let’s just see how it all comes out. Maybe Ralph and I are wrong and there isn’t a groundswell of interest in reading what you have to say. I don’t think we’re wrong, but we’ll see.
Be well,
Bob
That’s a no brainer. Liz must get a blog.
You are right “Seahawk Jeff”! (Hope we beat Green Bay Saturday!). Liz must do it – OR switch her hockey allegiance from the New York Rangers to the Buffalo Sabres:)
Buffalo??????? Never!
..althought after 18 years in NJ…I DO love the Devils…Marty is such an amazing goalie…so I never knew who to root for when the Rangers played the Devils before, but NOW with Scotty Gomez on Tex’s team, I’m really torn!
(….are we off the “Liz needs a blog” subject yet?)
Liz
Liz,
So far, it’s unanimous that you need to start a blog. (Your vote and mine don’t count.) If you want this vote to tip in the other direction, you’re going to need to recruit some people to offer votes in opposition.
And no, we’re not off that subject yet!
Be well,
Bob
Liz,
Blogs are great therapy! I use mine as my post-morning-radio-show outlet for thoughts. It’s worth it, and I’d love to read what you have to say!
I use Blogspot. It was easy to set up, and they have great templates to match your site.
Kara
liz, liz, liz.
tsk, tsk, tsk

Nickel City (sigh)
Peter,
I can’t tell. Should this count as three yes votes? Or three no votes?
Be well,
Bob
Like Kara, I use Blogspot. It is available in 40 languages…I think Liz knows most of them:)
The latest are Arabic, Persian and Hebrew.
Hass-ta La Vista amigos…

Ralph,
Thank you for the additional vote. I think we can safely conclude it’s unanimous. Liz needs to start a blog.
So, dear lady, since we both know you’ve confessed elsewhere that you spend a significant part of our day online anyway, you might as well be using at least part of that time to blog, don’t you think?
Be well,
Bob
But….but…but……doesn’t the fact that I just set-up my “facebook” page count????????????
Liz
Liz,
OK. It’s a start. What’s the address, so I can add it to my blogroll?
Be well,
Bob
Here:

….but frankly I HAVE thought of a possible blog title: “A Frog in my Throat”
Get it?….nahhhh…maybe not!
Peace!
Liz
Liz,
I think I get it. Frog = rude English expression for the French. You speak both languages fluently. Hmmm?
Be well,
Bob
ding, ding, ding….give that man a prize!!!!!
Yeah, well, I’m STILL not sure!
L.
OK…IF…and I do mean IF I start a blog (oh jeez you guys are wearing me down!!!)… What should the title be???
Here my specs:
- I am bilingual – English/French
- I am a female VO artist (also a caregiver)
- I love the ‘net
- I’m an information junkie – I love all info on marketing, new trends, I’m a collector of all types of books on VO, marketing, time management (yeah I do really well on THAT, spending all my time on line!), entrepreneurship, leadership, customer service….
So? smart people that you are: What should I NAME this hypothetical blog of mine?
Liz
Mademoiselle,
Might I suggest:
http://HigherWithLiz.blogspot.com
It ties in with your website and takes things to a “higher” level.
I await my prize!:)
-Ralph
Liz,
I actually like your “A Frog in My Throat” idea.
Be well,
Bob

Peter,
You are so right. I’m a troublemaker of the first rank.
Be well,
Bob
I second that motion Bob and Peter:)
But just try catching me across the border…
Cheers!
Ralph
Ralph,
I always appreciate your comments…even when I don’t completely understand them.
Be well,
Bob
Hi Bob,
You are NOT a “troublemaker of the first rank.”:)
I said “second” in my post as I felt I had to take responsibility for razzin’ Liz…
Take care!
Ralph
Ralph,
Ah. The light dawns. Thank you.
Be well,
Bob
Oh, let’s face it, NONE of you are innocent!!!
…and yet….you all have links on my blogroll!…SEE? I’m even gettin’ the lingo down!!
Liz
Ms. Liz-apalooza, I ain’t on your blogroll…boo hoo…What if I gave you some New Jersey Devils footage?:)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvqAB0rfRJg
Peace!
Ralph
You Sabres fans are such Whiners!!!
Sorry, Ralph!…I DID add you, but then forgot to hit “save” (DUH!)…you’re there now!
L.
Thanks Liz! But I’m surprised that even though you know all these languages, you spelled “Whiners” wrong…
It should be “WINNERS”!:)
Peter O’C will back me on that one…
Best,
Ralph
Sorry…what????I don’t speak too good le Anglais..;-)
L.
Liz and Ralph,
You two crack me up. And thanks to your antics, this thread is now the all time leading single post for comments on my blog.
Thank you,
Bob
I am here but to serve!
(can you see me bowing?)
L.
Liz,
Yes, I can. And such a wonderfully courtly bow as I haven’t seen in many a year.
Be well,
Bob
The blog looks great Liz! I have added you to my blogroll too…
Bob, this “courtly bow” you refer to must be a “curtsey”…
Cheers,
Ralph
Ralph,
I agree. On both points.
Be well,
Bob
OK fine …a curtsey it is…especially today since BOTH the Devils AND the Rangers won!!!!!
….doing a happy dance now….or a jig if you will!
L.
