January 5th, 2012 No comments

Our friend, Janet Wilcox, will be starting her UCLA Extension voiceover class again in just a week. If you are interested in getting started in the industry, this could be the class for you. I will be speaking to her class about New Media this session, as I have done in the past.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the tools needed to excel in TV and radio commercials, animation, narration for documentaries, and other areas of voice over work. Instruction includes breath and microphone technique, script analysis, finding characters spontaneously, and how to keep it fun, even when the pressure’s on. Participants also learn how to pursue a career in voice over.

Food: Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix Recipe

October 7th, 2011 No comments

I have been using another, similar recipe for a while now, but wanted a recipe that allowed me to make it larger volumes. I will probably tweak this recipe to add back anything missing from my current one, now that I have some proportions to use as a guide.

Audio: “Prelude to Revolution” Part 1, 2 and 3 Play them as you barbecue!

“Prelude to Revolution” Part 1, 2 and 3  Play them as you barbecue!

July 4th 2011- Live your Liberty, don’t lose it in a History Book

Keri and I invite you again to listen to the three live dramatic “radio play” podcasts based upon letters and documents from the lead up to the American Declaration of Independence. You can hear readings from our nation’s past which directly reflect upon our nation’s present and future.


We began these series of live dramatized readings three years ago as our Nation approached it’s “birthday”. It struck us that the situations and the causes of the American Revolution were as alive today as they had been to our countries’ forefathers. 
Part 1, 2, 3 on iTunes free!
