Happy New Year! I hope it’s gotten off to a great start so far. Since January is all about new beginnings and fresh energy, I’m dedicating my blog this month to the newcomer. I get so many questions from people wanting to “get into voiceovers”. So, in the spirit of a freshness and resolutions, I…
Here’s one reality show that can actually be considered homework…for actors! Being a part of AMC’s The Pitch, airing tomorrow night at 8pm PST/11pm EST, was a lot of fun. A few months back, I was psyched to be chosen as the voice to represent ad agency Neuron Syndicate’s campaign pitch for Tommy Bahama.
Well the dust has settled and I think I’m finally recovered from my week in NY for APAC (Audio Publisher’s Association Conference) and the Audies. It is always such a great time, but definitely a whole lot of output. Combined with a weekend jaunt upstate to visit my family, it was an action-packed seven day…
June is Audio Book month and we’re celebrating. Just back from APAC (Audiobook Publisher’s Association Conference) in New York and definitely feeling the love for our tight knit and talented community! Audiobook peeps are some of the nicest and most interesting people in the world. I sat down last night with my good friend and…
I am working from home today, as I do many days, and I am musing on how to be nicer to myself through this. It can be difficult. Lonely and freaky sometimes, especially for “people” people. I have been trying to figure out a way to enjoy myself more, worry less and actually be…
Last week I had a pretty big vo session. I was psyched. The session began and the first thing the director said was “So, Rachel are you familiar with the campaign we have running right now?” My, was I happy to be able to say yes… and actually be telling the truth! Years ago I…
August is always a special month for me. I find myself in reflection mode. Not only is it the happy month of my wedding anniversary, but it’s also the month I moved to LA and started my incredible West Coast journey. I had always wanted to live in California. I had been living in NYC…
I have really been enjoying the Olympics. It’s so inspiring. Most of all, I love watching the athletes who win gold. Who doesn’t? I love watching that seemingly effortless performance – the ultimate expression of someone at the top of their game. It’s what we’re in pursuit of as creatives: being so in sync and…
I love the mellowness of summer. Somehow I do not feel overly guilty about taking it easy during these hot and languid days. It is nice to be on cruise control sometimes. I so rarely let myself cruise. My inner slave driver always thinks I should be doing MORE MORE MORE so I find that…
Yoga is such a powerful force. It brings thoughts to the surface that I never would have even been connected to. Today we had a long guided meditation during Shavasana. I never think I need those (Shavasanas or guided meditations)… I never think I need stillness and passive poses, but indeed, every time…
