Working with Elite Edge Productions has been a blessing in my VO career. I've been working with them for four years now and been a part of five Emmy's. They've won many more and they gathered a handful again last Saturday night at the Midwest Emmy Awards. Once again I was included as they received the award for Best Commercial.

Congrats Rick on another fine job!

Do you get a statue also ?

Hoping my voice will sound like yours when I grow up.

Your voice could not possibly be more perfect for this type of work. I salute you, and the production company, and the well-deserved Emmys.

Damn, son...from "The Wheel of Meat" to Emmys.

Who'da thunk it?

Fabulous work!

Your voice and delivery were made for this genre.
This is your milieu, dude.
You made the piece.

I keep seeing your spot for 4Runner on the web lately. Great stuff!

Thanks all!

FinMac, they give out one statue per project and it goes to the primary. Four of the five remain in the Elite Edge Showcase. My name is one of a few on the statue, so I am allowed to 'buy' one if I choose. I do have one Emmy in my office as last year I received one as Best on Camera Narrator, so my name is the only one on that one. And while it might look impressive to have the others in my office alongside it, I opted not to buy them as I don't have anyone in my office to impress.

Eddie, I'm presuming those are Arctic Cat. I've done their ATV stuff for a while now.

And Doug, very few will get what you said, even when it was 'Buttloads'. But I do... and thanks!

And FYI, it was a project with Elite Edge for Major League Soccer, that got the notice and opened the door to DPN, who as my agent, opened the door to NFL Films. As Don said, 'They (Elite Edge) make you look good'. Never could a more true statement be said!

They are Toyota and it sounds very much like you.

Nope ( he says, wishing that it were )

Unless Toyota was bought out by Arctic Cat.

Ha! Glad you saw that, but when I though that "Buttloads!" might require too much explanation, I reconsidered.

It always does. And while I have learned to own it, it CAN become awkward. You ought to be in a restaurant sometime when someone sees me and screams it out. I often wait for people to dive under their tables.
