Though they are getting paid through the end of their 7 yr contrct which ends in July. Nice paid vaccation -- $1.5 mill each per year. And I gave up radio in 1980.... http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/entertainment/That-Stings--Eddie-Jobo-Dumped-from-B96.html

So you are a former Chi-town-er. I grew up in Ottawa and started in radio there with Joe Bohannan (Eddie and JoBo formerly from B96). My wife was born in Chicago but lived there less than a year.

At 1:01pm on November 11, 2008, Linda Bard said…: I grew up on the Southwest side (67th & Kedzie). Then lived the last several years I was in town on the North side just off Sheridan Road at the end of Lake Shore Drive. Now I live in Portland, Oregon. Would love to hook-up next time I'm back... after the snow! :-)

At 12:20pm on November 11, 2008, Linda Bard said…: Hey, Dina-
I appreciate the shout out from a fellow Chitown gal. (Born and raised there but now living out West). Love your website and your demos!
Hope we can cross paths sometime. I get back to see my family a couple times a year.
Linda

At 9:52am on September 22, 2008, Joe Wallace said…: HI Dina, thanks for the update! Much appreciated...great looking site,by the way. I love the motif!

At 8:34am on September 14, 2008, Diane Dimond said…: Dina - You are hysterical! No breaking of legs, please! Nancy is a friend of mine (and a new mother to twins!) Its always fun to fill in for her and there's always some sort of breaking news when I sit in for her. It's weird. That case of the missing child is so sad! Thanks for your support ~DD

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N): Voice Actor

HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE: Before I was a Voice Actor I wasn't one.

After graduating college I began my career "behind the scenes" as a Video Editor (assistant as well), and Producer/Director. I worked on a quite few well recognized productions (Oprah, Kurtis Productions, Siskel & Ebert, etc.) and spots and some not so well recognized (computer based training videos.

Through it all I've done theatre and improv (acting has ALWAYS been my first love) sporadically. Had some kids and focused my attention on raising them up. Now they're just about grown (Two in college, one entering high school) so I went back to my first love-- Acting!

Began my voice-over career not long ago and have never been happier!

RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS: Oxeye Games- Agatha Ragata, Americash, Rip-Records music video, Toyota Marin, Miami Aerospace, Grant Thornton, North Shore Animal League, Ulster Federal Credit Union, Funny Excuses (toy), Princess Academy. Can be heard as "Isis" in the game "Saqqarah" and as "Lt. Commander Melizza Fairwood" in the game "Harvest" both of which are now available.

I recently re-connected with an old collegue of mine from Post Effects and boy, has he been busy! Arturo Cubacub is one of the most forward thinking people I know and he's currently working on the leading edge of art and media with interstitial artistry. It's pretty cool to see where he believes things are going.

I invite you to check out his company's website: i3hypermedia.com. There you will find a video loop of pieces they and other folks have done for their Interstitial Festival. Othertimes… Continue

Presentation/Demo level of a game I just finished

Hey all!

Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct spot but I wanted to share a video of a demo/presentation level of a game I just finished.

I was checking the stats of my website when I saw that a referring site was youtube. I knew I have never posted anything there so I checked it out. Low and behold my client posted this and even mentions my name and included my website! How sweet was that?!!!

Anyway.... I had loads of fun doing this. It's almost a crime that I got paid for it. Notice I… Continue

Anyone have a good "Hurry up and Wait" story?

Years ago I was working a shoot for a toy (it was a video based educational toy). We're all there ready to go, tapes all loaded up on those BVH 2000's, camera ops, light guys, sound guys, beautiful set, wonderful actors, puppets, and puppetiers. This was a huge shoot. Had to be there by 7:30 am to go.

7:30 comes and goes and we're all waiting. The whole day goes by. Not a nanosecond on tape. Same thing the second day. Finally in the middle of the third day we find out what was going on. The Art… Continue
