Why Not Blog??

Why Not Blog??
It started with an e-mail. Stephanie from voices.com had asked for reviews of some new commercial scripts. I decided to throw in my two cents…that weren't worth nearly that much! Stephanie sent me an e-mail response thanking me for my review. In her nice note, she mentioned possibly doing an interview with me in 2007 that would explore my long forgotten career as a Radio Disney personality and feature writer. I immediately shot back that it wouldn't be terribly interesting, but I'd be happy to oblige!

It only takes one tiny seed to grow an apple tree, and you are now partaking in the fruits…pardon the expression.

This is my apple tree…the outlet for my thoughts. Thoughts about the voice over industry, the endless frustrations involved with building a home studio, and other various ramblings that often come to me just as I'm falling asleep.

Many people I know and admire have blogs. I enjoy reading them, and thought- why not?-what's one more blog among the millions of others? Who knows…maybe I do in fact have something interesting to offer! Only time will tell…

In the meantime, please visit the blogs of my new friends Brian Haymond, Bob Souer, and Voices.com. I promise they will offer morsels worth your time!

Repeating…Leaves a Nice Taste In My Mouth
NO, not that kind of "repeating". I'm talking about repeat business. I'm sure if you had a good experience with a person, vendor, tradesman etc., you would mark down the name and in the event the need ever arose again or if you were asked by someone for a recommendation, you would refer back to that person or company etc.

One of the hallmarks of any good business is the tally of repeat customers. So, when looking for a voice talent or audio production person, be sure to find out the percentage of repeat clients…ask for references, you'll be glad you did and if the person is worth their salt, they'll be happy to provide you with a long list.
