Didn’t I just write a blog article on entering 2021? I do believe last year had so little and yet so much happening, that it simply flew by and I didn’t offer many new avenues of my thoughts.
Believe it or not, in just a few years, (2025) I’ll hit another milestone. 50 years in the voice biz since I left college. Sure glad I’ve taken care of myself and look through my eyes with the outlook of a 28 year old.
With Phase Two of my life in gear, I’ve moved to the southwest to “The Valley of the Sun”, re-married and re-evaluated what I want to do, in order to check a few things off my Bucket List, I’ve hit a point of not generating as much VO marketing, but super-serving my core clients with the best and immediate voiceover service I can muster. Now, don’t get me wrong. I LOVE what I have been doing for years. Voicing it is My Thang. I just want to do it on MY schedule now and include more ME and US time. We still have a lot to see and do ya know…..
We will be welcoming grand baby Cooper into our family in a few weeks. So a trip to visit is in order and we’ll change a few diapers. We also will be finally taking that honeymoon this year to The Islands for some “us” time. But in-between, there will be plenty of time to record a variety of voice work for my prime clients. Several have been with me for over decades and I value them immensely. Never turn your back on “those that brung ya,” they say.
Living out here in Arizona for the past 7 years has re-energized me. Working out regularly, socializing as much as possible and spending quality time with family & friends is a good, balanced way to enjoy life. Since I’m pretty much set in my ways, I always remember to continue to learn as that “sponge” I’ve called myself, even more so today, than yesterday.
