Howdy Linda,
Well, I don't know about you, but I've had WAY too much rain for my tastes.
I keep expecting Noah or Evan Almighty to come riding down my hill in a large boat.
VO is slow, but I expected it to be so, being so late in the game, and especially since movie actors, unable to fill their slots, jumped into the VO game.
Thank you Linda for your guidance and expertise. My plan is to go slow, learn and apply all that I grasp. I want to do it right. I don't want to do "NO JUNK"!
Peace
Linda, I agree with everything said. Even though this has been a long time dream of mine, making the demo back in Feb. was the first time I ever spoke into a mic. And as I have been getting some audition time in, I have noticed exactly what you're talking about. Thank you for your in-put, now I know I'm on the right track. Any suggestions about where to get a new demo done without me having to take a weekend class plus forking out 3K?
Thanks for the kind words Linda... I've been a big admirer of your work for a long time.
It has taken me a long time to work up my site. I have made a new one every year for about 8 years now. I usually start working on it in late September and then launch on Jan 1 of the new year. It's been a tradition for quite a while now and many of my long time clients have actually come to expect it.
You asked...my husband, the jazz basist is Bill Seitz, native New Yorker, played with Peggy Lee, Steve Lawrence Edie Gorme, Ed Sullivan Show, the Concord Resort, so many jazz clubs in NYC. More. He's fab. Thanks for asking.
Hi Linda,
Was wondering if you had a gold nugget of knowledge to share with this new VO guy I know real well who is going after his dream?
Thank you.................................................................John
Would you send me an email to info@voiceacting.com that just says you'd like to be a volunteer at VOICE 2010 (or did you want to be a presenter.....?) Either way, if we have something in writing, then we can make sure it's not overlooked - that would be terrible! SO looking forward to seeing you again, lovely lady!

At any rate, hope you are well. Keep in touch.

So... it's close to "desing time" again!
Hope you are well and thanks for the add.
Hope all is well with you - of course I remember we did the Daniel Craig stuff together.
all the best
