  • Moving From Fear to Risk Awareness

    This week in my business support group we discussed risk.  I described myself as “not being risk adverse.”  Not to say I enjoy risk or that I am, as some have called me… fearless.  I am not without fear.  No one is.  Any animal, humans included, have three reactions to fear.  Fight. Flight, or Freeze.…

  • Moving Beyond “No”

    I think we spend too much time thinking about what we “don’t do”… “can’t do”… or “shouldn’t do.”  And I understand this.  Afterall one of the first words we learn as a child is “no.” No, don’t do that. No, you can’t have that. And as teenagers and young adults exploring the world and our…

  • It’s a VO’s Life

    This was first penned as a cartoon strip early in my VO career. I had something similar, but not so easily spotted, happen when a Windows update played havoc with my audio interface. I learned several valuable lessons from this, but not until I let off some frustration by storyboarding this cartoon. Enjoy! 2022 (c)…
