Lee Returns to Calgary!

I have been informed that Mr. Tockar will be returning to Calgary for another Animation weekend!  Yay, but boo!  I have until April to gather the $$$ needed for it!  Ugg!  In an ideal world, I would be getting the odd VO job and could sock away for the class.  I think I'm messing things up somewhere because I haven't even received so much as a comment yet.  :-(  I will need to put some solid focus in on learning some of the technical aspects and hopefully can raise the needed funds to go.  I am also waiting in keen anticipation for the arrival of a gift, a book on accent training out of England!  It is the text for a voice acting class at Ambrose here in town.  Supposedly it arrived on the 10th, but we haven't seen it yet.  I do hope it wasn't taken off our doorstep!  That would be sad! ;-(

OK, time to do the lunch thing!

I've been trying to record auditions every week at least.  No bites yet, but I know my voice isn't a typical radio or announcer style voice.  I keep my eye out for cartoon character offers, but there are few posted on voices.  I still need to get a demo or two together for my profile, and get a sample over to the engineer for a listen.  Still, I'll put them out there.  I expected that it wouldn't just land at my feet!

Almost Christmas!

So, I have taken the plunge and signed up for full membership at voices.com!  At least this time I have a better idea what I'm doing, if not the refined skills.  I managed to get a few auditions off this week, no listens yet.  My software stopped working, the the one that came with the m-audio box and I'm learning to use Audacity.  It has a lot of features I have no clue about!  I should try to get a little raw clip off to Mr. Engineer who said he was willing to have a listen.

I also did the voices webinar again, just to boost my understanding.

So tired!  At least I am off work now until January!  Yay!  I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Time to go sleep!
