Portland Voiceover Friends (around the U from left to right) Marc Rose, Bruce Miles, Emma Miles, Jen Gosnell, Peter K. O’Connell, Karyn O’Bryant, July 2019
If you’re going to travel from one ocean to the other, it’s sure is nice to have friends waiting for you on the other side.
So I did the Portland, OR trip this week…lovely weather too, so much nicer than the oppressive heat and humidity of Raleigh in the past few weeks.
I was very fortunate to have my friend Bruce Miles coordinate a lovely dinner with old and new voiceover friends….I’m told Portlandia is a foodies paradise and the two dinners we’ve had out there have been great.
So in addition to Bruce, his lovely and so fun wife Emma joined us – she’s not a voice talent, she’s better than that!
Jen Gosnell was there, taking a break from her family and voicework, great to see her. New Portlandian Karyn O’Bryant (who was on a VO-BB video chat earlier with Bruce and host of much more famous voices) came out to the party too. And I got to meet Marc Rose, a voice talent who runs Fuse Audio Design, where he also produces music and sound effects and teaches VO too.
There was an abundance of talking and noshing and just a great evening. I’m both pleased and honored that they would come out for some dinner.
Hope to see them again soon.
Thank YOU, Peter, for sharing your limited time in Portland with us! It was great to see you again!
