Friday, June 20, 2008 FROM BEER TO BLUE GRASSAnother long teaching trip! I enjoyed a Minnesota Twins game
in Milwaukee. What a beautiful stadium! We met up with a lot of fans from Minnesota so in a way, it was like being
at a home game. I am currently in Louisville, Kentucky producing voiceover demos. It's always nice down here
and the students are wonderful. Excited to get back home on Sunday for a nice break!
9:02 pm cdtSunday, June 15, 2008 TIM RUSSERTWhat a sad day when I heard the tragic news that Tim Russert passed away. "Meet the Press" was one of my favorite news programs. Tim was not only an outstanding broadcaster but he was a great debate moderator. It's sad that he will not be around to see who our next President will be. I will miss him. A true pro.
Monday, June 9, 2008 VOICE OVERS ON DEMAND LISTENERS COMMENTSI thought I would share a couple of great comments we received on our podcast. Britt Helms- Voice Talent
This is a great service to the community - keep up the great work Terry & Trish! Penny Abshire- Voice Over Coach
Thursday, June 5, 2008 HAS THE LAGGING ECONOMY HURT YOUR BUSINESS?It seems like you can't pick up a newspaper or a magazine
without reading about the lagging economy. I was just curious if it has hurt anyone's business? It may seem like a silly
question but I haven't seen much of a slow down in my world other than clients taking longer than usual to pay invoices.
I am curious to hear your thoughts. For a lot of us who are doing well at this for a living, could you imagine the prosperity
in a booming marketplace?
10:21 pm cdtFriday, May 23, 2008 INDIANA JONES AND THE SEARCH FOR A BETTER SCRIPTInstead of looking for the "crystal skull", Indy
and his less than amusing entourage should have been looking for a script. 19 years for this? There are some fun
chase sequences in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" but the story is a confusing mess and there
is no chemistry between characters who really weren't all that interesting to begin with. I am also one who believes
that Indy works better alone or maybe even with one sidekick. Not three. There are moments in this movie that
are so bad, it looks as if a high school drama team is doing their version of "Indiana Jones". I will leave
you with a couple of positives. There is enough action and a few of the sets are amazing enough to keep your brain active
throughout the whole picture but after 19 years, I was expecting a lot more than I received.
8:57 am cdtSunday, May 18, 2008 A MEMORIAL READINGHere's a voiceover I did for a memorial DVD. It was taken for from the movie, "A River Runs Through It".
Saturday, May 17, 2008 THE SCREAMING TEENAGE SOCCER GIRLS FROM HELL!Hello from Des Moines! City of the screaming teenage
soccer girls from hell! At least that's how it feels in the hotel that I am in. Maybe I am getting old but
these gals have been running up and down the halls of the hotel, yelling and screaming for hours. Unless I purchase
about $10,000 worth of auralex, I don't think I can get any recording done. Please send help or at last a bottle
of Captain Morgan. Ha!
6:47 pm cdtSunday, May 11, 2008 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!Just wanted to wish all you mother's out there a Happy Mother's Day! I will be headed to Andover,
Minnesota to visit my Mom and Dad. My mother continues to make strides after her stroke last November. She is
doing well. Her speech isn't 100% yet but getting better every month. Take care!
9:48 am cdtWednesday, May 7, 2008 LATEST JOB! 7:14 pm cdtTuesday, May 6, 2008 VOICE 2008TRISH BASANYI and myself will be attending "VOICE 2008", an event put together by James Alburger and Penny Abshire, who we interviewed on our latest episode of "VOICE OVERS ON DEMAND". This is going to be a fantastic event. We will get to network with many voice over friends who we have
come to know by phone or the Internet. We are also going to be doing some drops from John Florian's, "VOICE OVER XTRA" booth. The event is August 8-11 in Los Angeles.
1:11 pm cdtFriday, April 25, 2008 HELLO FROM AUSTIN!Good evening!
A muggy night in Austin, Texas but what a wonderful city! I am headed out tomorrow night to enjoy some great live music!
It's rare that I get some time off during these teaching trips but I lucked out this weekend and I can't think of
a better city to have some time off in. We had some great sessions at "Razor's Edge Sound" in Austin this afternoon. Kevin Hamilton, the Engineer/Producer there has worked with a lot of
musicians and it was fascinating hearing inside stories of the industry. A talented guy indeed. Have a great weekend!
8:16 pm cdtTuesday, April 15, 2008 THE MEDIA IS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LAGGING ECONOMYHey, how about another front page story on how awful the
housing industry and the economy are? Is anyone else tired of the overkill? Being the savvy entrepreneur that
I am, my business depends on a strong economy. It is my belief that it wouldn't be as bad, if the media would focus
their attention on something else for a change. A lot of people live in fear and this constant barrage of negativity
makes everything worse. Cheers!
5:56 pm cdtMonday, April 14, 2008 RADIO COMMERCIAL FUN FACTSDid you know that there are 11,000 radio stations in the United States? Each of these stations runs about 12-15 minutes of commercials every hour. That works out to be about 300 minutes worth of commercials every day at each station. The average commercial is 30 seconds long so that is about 600 commercials on-air every day at every radio station. Multiply 600 by 11,000 radio stations and you'll soon learn that 6,600,000 commercials are being broadcast each day on the radio in the United States. Thursday, April 10, 2008 HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM MINNEAPOLIS!I knew it! I jinxed it by writing about the nice
weather in my last blog! Now, we're expected to get 8 inches of snow this weekend! Last year, I had flowers
coming up in landscape area. How sad! Please send the sunshine!
8:09 pm cdtSaturday, April 5, 2008 STOP THE PRESSES! IT'S 60 IN MINNEAPOLISWhile I do enjoy the beautiful spring weather, it's a
little embarrassing when we get our first warm day of the year because all the meteorologists act like it's the second
coming! It's too early to celebrate. We could still get snow in April. Ha! It is a nice feeling
opening the shed doors for the first time this year. You other yard nerds can relate, I'm sure. :)
