diane merritt walks again to raise money in the fight against alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s Disease took Diane Merritt’s Mother from her and Diane’s children in 2009.

Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, is the sixth leading cause of death in the US.

My Father-In Law suffers from dementia – the impact on him is obvious as is the impact on those of us who surround him…constant heartbreak and struggle.

Diane Merritt Walk Against Alzheimer's Disease 2017

Voiceover Talent Diane Merritt participates in the Walk Against Alzheimer’s Disease 2017 in Greenville, SC

Alzheimer’s has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues.

So every year, Diane Merritt raises thousands of dollars and then walks in the WALK TO END ALZHEIMERS in Greenville, SC.

Her walk is today but they will continue to accept your donations after today.

THIS IS DIANE’S DONATION PAGE – please click on it and donate. She walks for her Mom, she walks for my Father-In-Law, she walks for Alzheimer’s and Dementia patients everywhere.

Give what you can. Thanks

Voiceover samples from popular fishing & outdoors show – Jason Mitchell Outdoors – on Fox Sports Networks

Many voice talents will try and play it cool when they see or hear their voiceover work. Or some are like me, they are so oblivious to all the stimuli we are inundated with everyday, we don’t always pay attention when our stuff in on the screen or on the radio.

We’re not cool so much as clueless! 😉

But, truth is, when we’re not oblivious we are also definitely not too cool to enjoy hearing and seeing out work (no matter how blasé we seem).

Jason Mitchell Outdoors Fox Sports NorthSo it was very cool for me to see video samples of the voiceover work I have done for the fishing and outdoors program, Jason Mitchell Outdoors.

The popular weekend broadcast is seen in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Eastern Nebraska, Iowa on Fox Sports North Network and in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri on Fox Sports Midwest Network.

The show explores some of the most effective tactics on the fishing scene right now. Information packed episodes highlighting open water and ice fishing tactics. Multi-species format for walleye, bass, musky, panfish, catfish and more.

Jason Mitchell, who has earned a legendary status as a professional hunting and fishing guide, hosts the show and is one of the elite guides making a living from fishing and hunting

I not only voice the show’s intro and outro but I also voice some of the show’s commercial and well as serve as a segment narrator in certain episodes.

I hope you enjoy these video and voiceover samples from Jason Mitchell Outdoors.

MEDIA RELEASE – O’Connell Plays Tech Dad for Western Union

Western Union LogoENGLEWOOD, CO October 1, 2017 – – While the reasons for needing to send money around the country or around the world haven’t changed that much, the technology we use to do it has changed.
