I'd love to go, even though I'm not a newbie, but I would like to roll a visit with you into several days in Europe and I'm having a tough time finding a block of time in the near future. I'm so looking forward.
No other takers? Maybe it's how you're axing?

Don’t laugh, Philip is deadly serious about the offer !
I know, I took him up on less than 2 years ago. He is a delightful fellow, and Bess could be nominated for Collie of the year.
Don’t be afraid to ask, it’s a REAL OFFER and a good one with 99’s, Cullen Skink and the lot!

Philip, I'd take you up on this in a heartbeat...but with all that's on my plate right now, and coaching with Deebs, I'll have to defer for the time being. _________________ "What was that? An exhibition? We need emotional content." - Bruce Lee, Enter The Dragon |

There is a serious side to this nonsense. The way to prove a theory is to test it.
Ask anybody if they would take an offer they couldn't refuse and there would be a resounding "YES". So what would happen if somebody made one?
Excuses, excuses.
I WILL cure your fear of flying, free of charge.
"No, don't do that as I quite like it. Y'see it is my go to excuse for a whole bunch of stuff I simply don't want to do."
That works for me.
VO coaching is, for the most part complete and utter garbage. Students tend to pay for, motivational quotes, affirmation, mic time and in certain cases access to potential work. The secret, if there is one? Pay for knowledge that you can apply.
Do you need to satisfy your inner actor, performer, artiste? Yes, absolutely YES! But you also need to put a roof over your head and food on the table FIRST
FIRST
FIRST
If you are managing to do that, you're doing fine. |

I've taken Philip up on this. And I would do so again in a heartbeat - but I don't want to be greedy.

Terminal stupidity! It's a curse.
Did I solve the problem?
Yes. Thank you for asking.
Chooses speed dial.
Call is answered
Elisa will be here for the weekend for 8 seconds of informal VO coaching followed by Collie runs, walks and Seal herding, food, wine, larks and japes. Tax deductible because Elisa looks as if she may be a legitimate business expense or knows someone who is. |

Big hugs for Elisa - and tell Bess to save a collie run for me. _________________ www.melissaeXelberth.com

All joking apart, no one did and Elisa needs no help from me at all. Not seen her since September, we were in Amsterdam for an agency thing.
Sometimes we travel a a little farther from home. Like Mumbai for instance.
As it was "The Mumbai Muttering Masterclass" the trip was tax deductible
Herself is pictured above taking a photo of something in the Arabian Sea. Possibly a waterproof Camel.
P.S No need to call a Therapist, no one really thinks anyone is Terminally Stupid. |
