My thanks to ALL who donated to the MO-VO Movember fund raiser (and you still can).

But a promise is a promise and tonight Mrs. audio’connell is happy again about my face.

it’s time to play “guess that voice over demo”

Voice Talent Derek Chappell

My friend and voice talent Derek Chappell starts a fun new blog game “Guess That Voice Over Demo” where people listen to a voice over demo and try and guess who’s voice it is.

The first round starts here on November 29, 2011.

Have fun!

movember – day 28

Peter_K_O'Connell_movember2011_Day28

The end is near.

The funds raised in the US support prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and their men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. All month myself and a team of Voice Over Talents from around the galaxy (aim for the stars) have been driving razor salesmen batty. Thursday is December 1st and the weedwacker will come out and buzz all this work will go down the drain.

If you have donated to me or anyone else in this cause…thank you VERY much.

If you haven’t and you could spare just $5.00 to donate to my talley or someone else on the MO-VO team, that would be awesome.

Thanks for reading these weekly posts.

dan friedman and how not to screw up your voice over career

Voice Over Talent Dan Friedman

Audio Engineer, Producer, Voice Talent and Author Dan Friedman has a business card about 3 feet wide with all those titles but he’s earned the “cred” so the “cred” shall be bestowed (unlike my business card which lists “male model” as my title – people either giggle or look a little sick when they read that).

Anyway, back to Dan who on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 will be the featured speaker on a Voices.com webinar beginning at 7:00 PM (EST).

Dan will offer a sound engineer’s perspective on proper studio etiquette and some common mistakes that hinder people from becoming a successful voiceover artist.

Now, I believe I’ve made most of those mistakes and probably some Dan hasn’t even considered but that only means you should listen to what Dan says and sign up for his webinar.

It has been said: “For those who understand, no answer is necessary. For those who do not understand, no answer will suffice.”

Every year I still enjoy this wonderful piece of TV and I hope you do too. Happy Thanksgiving.
