VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Rarely do I see a script more than an hour or two in advance. I do prefer to see it a little in advance... cold reading is NOT my forte' - my first read is generally not the one to go with either. It's kinda a walk thru.

I've had a great start to the week. Booked a session for Wed. or Thurs. for an orientation video for UConn, and I have a 7 pm session tonight for the Hannah Montana Fashion Collection (national cable spot). And it's not even 5 pm.

I wish all weeks were like this.

Hmmmm-
Well, I am offsite every day this week recording an audiobook (but only 2-hour sessions) - then-

Waiting to hear whether I'll be recording this week or next for a Nathan's Hot Dog spot and-

This week or next - character voicings for corporate gaming.

Kinda booked, kinda untethered -

Like my mind lately-

So, what actually happened?

Before my 1050 ISDN session which turned out to be for a chain of Golf Shops I had a call from a TV production company asking if I would voice a documentary about wind farms. Ok but need to do it after 1130. Call from a radio production company - two radio commercials, interested? Yes but do it now before my 1050 session. DONE.

After my attack of the wind took Jazz out. Returned to find an email wanting a corporate DVD doing ASAP - PS Donna has a script for you too, she'll send in an hour.

Lunch - Oh yes! Chicken madras and Pilau rice. Served on to plate - Phone rang. It was Steve asking if I could voice 3 radio commercial for him and how soon? AFTER I'VE EATEN! After the radio ad' we then went back to the wind to do some pick-ups.

Mug of tea then a long walk on the beach with Jazz.

Today I go to NYC to record the Logitech Air Mouse spot that Peter referred me to, again. They changed the script and want the whole thing re-done. The gig so nice they paid me twice! Don't you love those?

Geez, I hate these threads....they always pop up when I have nothing...

Last week...three good-paying jobs in a row.... this week... naga.

Almost all my copy comes in ahead of time. Very few cold reads... and I prefer the cold reads. I've only had to go into someone else's studio once. Everything's at home...

....except of course the 3 half-hour newscasts I do daily. Also the 5 public appearances I'll do this week...no pay for that....just gratis from the bosses.

sesh today was swell. i was in one room with a web cam, dancing when i nailed the timing (because, of course, there is :35 of copy for a warm, personal, caring health care spot). for a moment i felt as though i was, ya know, on tv or something when they show those famed VO talents during a typical day. only for a fleeting moment, really.

three car spots booked tomorrow. more phone systems mysteries to solve.

and today's HAIRCUT. whoa.

Everybody's so busy...WOW! I want my turn.

I might get a chance to use my Japanese language skills in a possible v-o job soon. That would be cool!

Love this business!

Cheers all...

'Pinto,

I love that 35 secs of copy for a warm caring health care spot! I once practiced with a real spot that was about heart attack victims, same deal -- almost a minute's worth of copy for a 30-sec spot talking about the stress in one's life and heart attacks... NO stress for the VO talent, right??

My space telescope thing went well... now I have one for a satellite that studies the Sun... called SOHO. I keep thinking of NYC...

Today I have a recording session with Educational Testing Service in Princeton. They're my #1 client. This month is my 11th anniversary with them!

BTW the Logitech gig may lead to more work. Thanks again, Peter!!!

[EDIT] I mixed up gigs! Peter referred me to the Nicotene Palicrilex CD recording. Oops!
