I only drink tea for my voice when I'm sick and it always goes like this:
Prepare and steep tea.
TOO HOT.
STILL TOO HOT.
Okay tiny sips.
Now we're getting there.
Well now it's just kind of lukewarm and unpleasant.
I feel like about 1/3 of the cup is in the right zone.
Trying to do VO edits with a creaky croaky allergies/cold riddled voice is challenging and frustrating. I think I ended up with 2 usable scripts but the effort was exponentially more than usual.
My personal belief: if you want to be celebrated in death then be someone worth celebrating in life. I do not believe that death automatically makes you deserve respect.
Also something that I really liked about one of my recent VO jobs was that they specifically wanted a human and for it not to sound like something that AI could just spit out. They recognized the humanity in VO and the nuance real actors can give.
12:30 Zoom meeting about a VO job. When do they need them? “ASAP.”
1p Drive home (I’m currently pet/housesitting) to knock them out.
2:30p 3 scripts done and delivered.
BAM! WOOHOO!
Extremely grateful for 2 voiceover jobs this week. I love doing voice work so much and love when people are excited and happy with the results. I just feel in my element and it's such a great feeling to do something and feel like "Hey I'm good at this!"

The super long and detailed journey that led me to getting my new Emerald X20 carbon fiber acoustic guitar.

I know that “content” has just become the word we use (me included) but it feels so dismissive somehow. Completely without heart or soul. It makes me think of a hoard of zombies moaning “Connnntennnnnt.” Even when it’s great compliment like “I love your content” (which I still appreciate though).
Next up! Saturday night a group of us are playing #1 Record by Big Star in it’s entirety as well as some other tunes from them as well. 9p at Carousel Lounge!
