Marice Tobias (my voice coach) introduced me to Seth Godin, and his blog has become one of my favorite reads in the morning (along with Andrew Sullivan). His post “Workaholics” describes perfectly the way most talents I know think about VO. It’s our passion, something we absolutely love to do. It’s not easy. It’s the most challenging job I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. But oh my. . . the satisfaction that comes from lifting words from a page and bringing them to life, hearing the beauty of the language and using it to communicate the client’s message . . . that’s what really floats my boat.

Hey Kitzie!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
This is SO on target.
Thanks for reminding me that I’m not TOO crazy for spending so many happy hours in front of the mic in my “padded room” or in front of my monitor editing files!
….off to have my first cup of coffee, now that I’ve logged on the ‘net for the latest VO happenings
Peace!

Hey Liz,
Thanks for stopping by. Just had my cup of chai, and now for an audition. Yay.
Hope you have a great day!
