The '40th Anniversary' Edition

Casual Headshot

Greetings!
I hope summer isn't clipping by too quickly for you.  Hey, how about the last 40 years?  Where did they go?  Sheesh!  Seems like only yesterday I was in 2nd grade as the TV was wheeled into our classroom to watch man land on the moon. 
 
Hot on the heels of that anniversary from a few weeks ago is another 40th anniversary where "spaced out" was also a theme.  Yes, there was 'Abbey Road' and Charles Manson.  But specifically I'm speaking of Woodstock.  So, to commemorate the musical milestone we'll finally decipher a Woodstock classic in this edition. 
 
'Woof-stock' provided some photo-ops from the 2009 dog days of summer plus some other snaps and fun stuff to share below.
 
But on to the business of voice over.  It's serious stuff involving focus, articulation and proper mic technique as showcased here by Teaghan and Dillon.

I just finished narrating another round of four 1-hour documentaries for National Geographic and History Television.  These were Source Connect recording sessions linking up with London, England, in real time for the Canadian/British co-production. 

The next docs feature the lovable, wacky antics of the 'New York Mafia', the 'San Francisco Triads', the 'Mexican drug cartels' and the 'Russian Mafia'
 
'UNDERWORLD GANGS III'  - airs for four consecutive Thursdays starting Thursday, September 3rd.
VOICING ANIMATION FOR 'MAGI-NATION'
ZEDThe popular animated series 'Magi-Nation' has been renewed for a second season.  I'm thrilled to be slithering back into the voice over booth to reprise the wicked tone of nefarious villain, 'ZED' (pictured - you can almost see the halitosis). 
 
I've also taken on another recurring character, 'Myrv', who's popping in and out through the upcoming season.  As his name implies, Myrv is not one to be feared.  Much. 
(Broadcasters & dates TBA).
