What The Hell Has Been Going On Since I've Been Gone?!

Let's see…

Don Imus acted an anus, we lost more youths in the struggle, more minds got taken by corrupted vibes, blood and tears were shed, the oceans got toxic and sea life took a hit, it got hot as hell - real fast, and politics started sounding more and more like a hissing and rattling competition.  Meanwhile the dollar and the American reputation lost more weight and is starting to look much like our movie starlet's receding waistlines, and did I mention my grand kids may never meet a polar bear or a penguin due to global warming?

But Chuck… somewhere a baby laughed, a family reunited, a father forgave a son, an ingenious idea was born… someone had the time to curl under a light bulb with a good book, and somewhere… a solution was seeded inside the hearts of future leaders…  and that's alright…

Voices.com is Well Worth the Money

I am a voice artist that works solely in Cartoons.

I joined Voices.com at the beginning of the year and only read for one job, a job that 330 other people read for… and I was hired.

Now, I had applied for this job through Craigslist too, but it was my Voices.com audition the creator heard.

It's the lead in a series.

THANK YOU VOICES.COM!!

So yeah, it's well worth the money.
