When we give voice to a story, most of the time there is no review or critique of our work. The check clears and we move on to the next project. Today, however, I ran across a review of a documentary I narrated in late 2004. The producer was Nova Herman and the production was done by Partners in Motion in Regina, Saskatchewan.
I love narrating documentaries. It’s my favorite kind of voiceover work. In this case, the documentary was on the role the Canadian Embassy in Iran played in helping 6 US diplomats escape from Iran during the hostage crisis in 1979.
And I see at bottom of the review that the documentary won an award at the 2005 Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival.

What? Is this a shock of some sort? I don’t think so! No surprise to me Mr. Souer…no surprise to me! “Excellent narration by Robert Souer” NO DOUBT!!!!!
Bless you and I’m proud of you!

Mary McKitrick says
Bob, hearty congratulations!
Curious that you had to find this news on your own. I would have thought that as part of the team, the filmmaker would have alerted you as soon as the news was out.
Sigh.

Bob says
Mary,
Thank you. I was honestly rather startled when I found this news because I hadn’t even heard that the documentary was going to be submitted to any competitions. Still, it’s cool to discover, even if 3 years after the fact.
Be well,
Bob
PS: I guess this means I can no longer say I’ve never won any awards.
