I’m still figuring this all out, but this blog is now at:
Visited Chuck Duran (Rock ‘n’ Roll Chuckie) for some tag work on a few campaigns. (Also ran into the talented and kind Dave Mallow who was on his way out.) This company likes to put acronyms for the campaign names when billing. Today’s was “Legacy of Life” – funeral homes. Very touching and subdued. I bill it with the acronym “LOL.” I just love that.
Last week I booked a radio spot for Burger King through the lovely folks at Voicecaster and went into Big Joe’s studio in Santa Monica to record. It turned into two very fun spots. I worked with Susie Geiser (who is a geiser of energy!) and we got to improv a bit, parodying “Fox and Friends.” [One of the spots can be heard here on my Facebook page.] At the end of the session they said we’d be back Monday to record “a few” more.
Well, today I went into Lime Studios in Santa Monica and they handed us TWELVE spots! Yes, God save the BK! It’s these kinds of voice over surprises I LOVE!
On a side note, when I arrived I thought I saw a familiar face there (perhaps a fellow Abrams Artist client) and I cheerily said “hi” as I never can remember names or where I know someone from, but figure I can never go wrong being overly friendly. (Yes, a horrible defect for an actor.) I realized quickly it was Joel McKinnon Miller from HBO’s “Big Love” and apologized for being friendly and turned my back on him… Yup. It then hit me that this was probably the wrong way to wrap up the moment. I turned back quickly, apologized for apologizing and then proceeded to be an annoying fan of the show…
Turns out he was in 10 of the spots with us! Had a great time working off of both him and the amazing Susie.
So, keep an ear out for the BK spots…
… Ahhhh. My first real post. Not too painful.
Hi Kids, Thanks for checking out the blog. My webmaster assures me that there are people who actually care and will read this. Now it’s turned into a bet. Problem is, I have to make this interesting to show good faith (no talking about our cats or the strange hangnail I got recently). So, I’ll start with in-booth and on-set diatribes and occasional status updates. If that fails, then I’ll post naked pictures. Check back often to see how our bet goes. .. (Hmm, does that work against me?)
You can also check out the Facebook Fan Page where there’s video and additional media that may be more exciting than just my attempts to string words together.
And then there’s the newly old-fashioned thing of checking out the actual websites!
More to come…
Please stand-by as we get our ducks in a row…
