One of the nice things about traveling is getting to meet up with other voice talents on the road.

Another nice thing about those meet-ups is we usually go to nicer places to eat than I would normally go to when I’m out on the road.

So it was a real treat to get a good meal and visit with my friend and fellow voice talent Wayne Edwards tonight on Altoona, PA.

Not surprisingly, we talked, wished and wondered about the next FaffCon as well as voice-over training and a little marketing thrown in for good measure. It was a great night and I sincerely appreciated Wayne being able to come out and join me.

aHa! Designs Owner Ann Marie Hackett with audio’connell Voice-Over Talent’s Peter K. O’Connell at Buffalo Business First’s 2015 40 Under 40 event

I’m not sure how many years I’ve known Ann Hackett of aHa! Designs but it’s been awhile. I would guess it has been for almost that long as she’s been doing graphic design work for me.

So I was honored when she and her husband Tony invited me as their guest to watch Ann receive the very prestigious Business First of Buffalo 40 Under 40 Award on Thursday evening.

The goal of the award has always been to identify 40 men and women — under the age of 40, of course — who are successful in their professions and heavily involved in community activities. Ann has been a leader in so many community success but likely her most famous is her work with the Taste of Buffalo where she rose from volunteer to Chairperson of the huge and successful event in short order.

Congratulations Ann!

Once again, Voice Talent Peter K. O’Connell pretends to grow facial hair in the name of improving Men’s Health via the Movember Foundation

Yes, it’s true. My wife and my children appreciate that I am raising money for a good cause but do NOT like the prickles on my face.

Yet I soldier on, knowing my efforts help others! Movember!!!

Oh and I don’t have to shave for a month.

This year I am on the MVO: The Voice-Over Guys team with my friends Bob Souer and Brad Venable.

Please, please, PLEASE donate to my page HERE.

For the fifth year, I will be participating in the annual Movember fund raiser supporting Men’s Health initiatives.

It involves money and whiskers.

Not whiskey, whiskers! 🙂

Men agree to set up a fund raising page with the Movember Foundation and solicit their friends to donate money while the guys grow a mustache. I always grow a goatee because I look ridiculous in a mustache.

This year I am teaming up with my friends at MVO: The Voice-Over Guys to promote our cause. We three guys are the “growers”

If you would (and this is the part where I ask for your help) please donate to my page here. Thank you.

BTW, here is me on DAY 1.

Voice Talent Peter K. O’Connell is participating in his 5th Movember campaign, raising funds for Men’s Health along with his friends from MVO: The Voice-Over Guys. This picture is from November 1, 2015, day 1 of Peter’s growth. Get a magnifying glass.
