The Search Continues.....

Searched more boxes yesterday, still nothing.  I will have to carry on from here in the room-by-room search pattern I think.  I have hit all the boxes in the garage, and I'm wracking my brain to see if I went and did something "clever" with it.  It isn't tiny, but it isn't large either.  I didn't think I would have let it go to the garage, but it isn't popping up inside either.


Grrrr.......

I might have to try to use some other technology until I find/replace it.

Lookn' around.....

Wrote back to Voices.com about membership.  We will see what they can offer.  I hope to be able to find my stuff and get at least some demo's recorded to post.  Every little bit helps.

I'm confident that I can put out some good audition reels for some of the postings, but I'll need membership in order to do that.

I looked up my mic, there is one studio that has it as an option to use.  The reviews I've seen seem to indicate that it is a good mic for someone in my position.  I haven't seen how it compares to other mics though.  I'll see if Mr. Tockar is willing to give it a listen.

Training for Options

I attended an On The Mic class this last weekend with Mr. Tockar instructing.  It was a lot of fun, very informative and answered a question I have wondered about for a long time;

Do I have the raw skills to work with to get into voice acting?

From the class and his comments the answer is yes.  So, instead of finding basements that need wiring or garages that need a plug added I am going to go for voice work.

Once I get my mic and recording stuff set up......


Once I find the missing parts!  Grrrr.

Anyhow, this should fit well with my goal of having a more mobile source of income.  There is a good living to be made in the electrical trade, but you are definitely fixed in place.  Voice work should offer more flexibility.
