Fround on Trent Hamm’s The Simple Dollar blog:

“I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.”

With thanks to my friend Dan Nachtrab for posting the link on the VO-BB, here is trailer number 1 for “I Know That Voice”, coming soon:

As a life long fan of baseball, one of the most fun voiceover jobs I’ve done this year is a series of commercials for the San Francisco Giants. Here’s just one example.

You can find an opportunity to make a difference every day, if you just take a moment to look. For example, my friend Andy Boyns has written a blog post I hope you’ll visit and to which I hope you’ll respond.

Forwarded to me by Stacey Stahl of Creative Entertainment Managment, and well worth a few minutes of contemplation:

Our friends don’t love us for what we do, they love us for who we are (hint, the same is true for customers, clients and employees).  — Simon Sinek

A very Happy Father’s Day to you and all the fathers you know. It’s been a wonderful such day here at our home. Also, ran across this quote today that I just had to share:

“We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.”
    -– Epicurus

Some people grin and bear it; others just smile and do it.

I try not to spend too much time talking about myself on this blog, but this time I just have to. My favorite kind of voiceover job is narrating documentaries, so it is with great joy that I share this wonderful video with you, the story of the Fort Peck Dam. The documentary was produced by Montana PBS.

Watch Fort Peck Dam on PBS. See more from KUSM.

In a recent blog post, Seth Godin offers a fabulous insight about how to keep your voiceover business moving. You have a choice every day. You can either feel bad about the audition that you didn’t book, or jealous of all the work so-and-so friend on Facebook is always posting about.

Or you can begin preparing today for what you have to do so that tomorrow you are doing the work that you want to be doing.

Which is it going to be?

Even if we think nothing good can happen, let’s remember to keep our heads up so we will be sure to see the good that will happen.

Helen Lloyd’s voiceover blog is now added to my blogroll.

I just ran across a posting of a commercial I recorded a year ago for the Denver market.

Citizen Pictures is thrilled to be working with Denver CyberKnife to create awareness about this non-invasive, pain-free cancer treatment.
