  • @AnthonyVO It's not unusual for me to hear applause, but only because this box is in my #voiceover studio :) http://tinyurl.com/yf822qr
  • If you woke up, it's already a good day! :) RT @SuchAVoice Gotta be grateful for those sunny days even if it is only 20*F! Not bad, not bad.
  • AWESOME advice! RT @RonLevineVO RT @DavidHoustonVO "Never chase the money. Chase excellence, and make the money chase you." - Pat Fraley
  • @btzol I saw Toddlers and Tiaras; what a trainwreck! Parents push the kid to be in pageants, & kid HATES it. Expect huge therapy bills later
  • @KeyAudio How cool! One of my dreams is to be the #voiceover for a toy, ideally one with a HUGE movie tie-in so every kid has to have it! :)

  • When I see new followers, I look at their tweets. If all tweets came from API, it looks like a spambot to me, so I block that "person".
  • 2nd Grammy award honoring #voiceover: 2) Buck Howdy won in Best Spoken Word Album For Children for "Aaaaah! Spooky, Scary Stories & Songs"
  • 2 Grammy awards honoring #voiceover work/spoken word are already over: 1) Michael J. Fox won in Best Spoken Word for "Always Looking Up"
  • Nice story about Worcester, MA #voiceover talent Mandy Nelson, voice of @Travelocity's phone system: http://www.wbjournal.com/news45560.html
  • @mikeschubert My sure cure for hiccups is to hold your breath and swallow 15 times. It's easiest if you drink something to make you swallow.
  • .@Mikedriehorst & @EdHunter Thx for RTs on the job hunter story. I pitched a podcast idea to 2 people at the same org. A reply would be nice
  • 7am on a Sunday and already have done a #voiceover audition that included a creative sound effect. I can't say no when the muse speaks! #fb
  • Wish I could use it after pitches to clients! RT @wheresspot When they don't email you back, pretend they did! Genius http://j.mp/8S2wgh NYT
  • You GO girl! Many listen 2 you RT @taviagilbert got news the Phoenix is listing me in 2/10 issue as 1 of Portland's Most Influential People
  • Do you know of any low-cost/free software that creates closed captioning? Mac video created in iMovie, exported to iTunes, converted to WMV
  • Answered a LinkedIn ? with details about my idea to use the iPad when recording scripts in my #voiceover studio : http://tinyurl.com/yc4pdrf
  • It's true! I thought the same thing but still am going to get one RT @kelseyads Women mostly not impressed by iPad name http://bit.ly/ajQ3gZ
  • Best description I've seen! RT @margheritakrug Fabulous! RT @ChrisRooney: So the #iPad is basically Hagrid's iPhone
  • @JeffBriggsVoice I've never been one to get too excited about OS upgrades; they often break something else. If it's working, don't fix it!
  • @mitzpa Going paperless in my studio with an iPad is a green-earth thing, right? :) Only green part of this idea is my $$$ going to Apple!
  • Of course, @DrewCommins & I already have 2 of almost every Apple product +2 Kindles. I really don't want to want another gadget! (but I do)
  • iPad may be ideal addition to my #voiceover studio. I finally could go paperless on scripts & not need 2nd monitor. Rationalization to buy?

  • I've read that one way to achieve your dreams is to help as many other people achieve theirs. I'm excited to see @DrewCommins going forward!

  • YES RT @VoiceOverXtra Happy New Year! And make it a G-R-E-A-T year with this advice from VO Bobbin Beam: http://bit.ly/GREAT_Year #voiceover
  • .@EmilieBarta I think what you do on the 1st day of a new year is what you'll be doing ALL year. I'm writing a blog & will record in studio.
  • Wonders if the dogs in the movie UP wrote spam messages on my blog, like "I don't comment on blogs, but your post really made me to do so:"
  • Between a biz trip to DC, the holidays, & revising a client video, the last few weeks are a blur. Just put away decorations. Ready to RELAX!
