Since the last time I wrote, I have been enjoying the promo/trailer tele-classes with Rodney Saulsberry on Thursday evenings. There are about eleven of us that are on the phone lines in a Tele-conference, and I don't even have to dress up to go to class!! hooray tele-classes! I wish more of the voice-over coaches offered them as an alternative for those of us that live a distance from them.
I am part of the Silver Inner Circle at Susan Berkley's The Great Voice Company in East Jersey/NewYork City area. She offered this Rodney Saulsberry class in conjunction with her company. Also this last Saturday we of the Silver Inner Circle got to listen in on and take part with a Susan Berkely interview of Bob Bergen - who now does the voice of Porky Pig and Tweety! Bob is offering a cruise in February to Ensenada for voice-acting folks, and I've already made my reservations! While we are on board Bob will do a special presentation of his hit one man show "Not Just Another Pretty Voice",( http://www.bobbergen.com/onemanshow.htm ) which enjoyed a 3 month run in Los Angeles and was adapted as an opening act for Kenny Rogers concert tour.
James Alburger and Penny Abshire's www.VoiceActing.com company is offering a two day weekend seminar with Bob Bergen this coming October 8th & 9th in the San Diego area. So guess what? Yep, I'm going to try to pay off some of my other VO debt so I can afford to go to that one too! That way I'll have already met and worked with Bob when I go to the cruise in February!
Today, Saturday June 18th-'05, I have my last day of acting class by The Second City's Shatha Hicks! I've been working on memorizing a monologue from the 1870's play by Henrick Ibsen - "A Doll's House". I have just started going to the same church that my acting instructor Sahtha Hicks invited me to go to here in Las Vegas - Desert Breeze Church. Tomorrow after church, at 3pm is class three of eight of The Second City's IFA-2 which I am taking. IFA stands for Improv for actors! I like to say that the three hours of IFA class is like a weekly dose of "mind-candy" because it's so fun and full of laughs!
Yesterday I felt a need, or urging to call my friends at KKPZ Christian Radio in Portland Oregon where I used to work before I moved here. I had quite a nice chat with the Bolyards, Dave and Adrea. They are a married couple whom I worked with there four years ago. Andrea is the Office Manager, and Dave is the Media Manager plus he does freelance audio production at home for a few extra clams! I love those two. Of course they used to have me over for barbeque and such at their home, and I got to watch cartoons with them too! woo-hoo! A belly full of great cookin', and some belly laughs later, what a combo!
I am still having fantastic bible studies in the morning, and reading all of the voice over books I can in my free time! I will have to take some time off from my acting classes in August to visit my kin in Arizona.
Well, I just got a message from Shatha Hicks, my Saturday acting instructor, and she has to cancel class due to vehicle malfunctions. I guess that's not good for her, however, it gives me more time to memorize my monologue! Not only that, but I can keep up the Spring Cleaning that I'm running behind on!
