Make no mistake…NOBODY was expecting this and not only was it that amazing “what the…” moment that advertisers hope to elicit moment from an audience, but it was also exceptionally well produced in every possible facet.

Freaking perfect! A+

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.

Combining my love of typography with my sincere enjoyment of Conan O’Brien, I really enjoyed watching this and I hope you do too.

And I was watching Vimeo because I just uploaded my first video to it – my new commercial demo.

Hey wait a minute.

Didn’t you just post this blog a couple of days ago?

“One of these things is not like the other…”

Here’s the thing…if you’re going to craft a new commercial voiceover demo, you should create a new commercial voiceover demo video to go with it.

It’s like salt and pepper.

Cake and ice cream

Coffee and donuts.

I’m not sure what my point was but I have the sudden urge to go to the kitchen. Bye!

I was supposed to be producing a video featuring my new commercial demo but while I was brainstorming this I came up with this video idea based on a design I created for my audio’connell Voice Over Talent business card.

So I made this video first. And no I have no earthly idea what to do with it except post it on YouTube. Maybe I can integrate it into a trade show display. Oh well, it’s not art but it’s harmless enough. Wonder if it’s too late to buy a spot in the Super Bowl?

For the past couple of years, I’ve been asked to serve as the announcer for the Buffalo Niagara Sales and Marketing Executives’ Elite Sales and Marketing Awards.

I’m a past President of the association.

Last year I had to travel on the show day so I pre-recorded the intros but this year I was live (or as live as I get) and here’s what it looked like announcing to a room of about 200+ of my closest friends

Congrats to all the winners.

My friend and fellow voice talent Dave Courvoisier has produced the latest promo for Faffcon2 in Atlanta.

If you haven’t yet registered, you can do so here.

Meanwhile, enjoy the magic pictures as the fly through your screen.

The historic Shea's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY

I know you might not think too much about Buffalo, NY because, well many of you do not live here.

And I know you remember we have/had a football team and we get snow (much like about 1/2 of the United States).

But we also have some amazing weather (from May through October), restaurants, architecture and more.

So if you’ll allow me to take about six minutes from your life, I’d like you to watch a little bit about my city in this video (a production I had nothing to do with). The National Preservation Conference is coming here in 2011 so they made a promotional video to promote attendance. Maybe this video will help you get a better sense of what my town is like.

Kudos to the Buffalo Convention and Visitors Bureau for their work on this project.

Thanks.

Here’s is the NEW Faffcon 2 promo video featuring the voice talents of Bruce Miles, Philip Banks, Peter K. O’Connell, Anthony Mendez, Bob Souer and Diane Maggipinto.

Look, this is geeky of me I’ll grant you, but I think it’s cool that I edited most of this video and then uploaded it on to You Tube from my airline seat flying at 36,000 feet. Oh by the way, this blog post is coming to you from that very same altitude and seat.

Fair warning, I will be at this Faffcon…I guess I can register from my seat too. I hope you will come…it’s gonna be big.

Please promote the heck outta this video. Thanks.
