It's here! The audiobook, "A Catholic's View of Sin" is finally ready. I started producing this 44 minute audiobook on August 1, 2016 and after many long days and hours it is out of production and ready for listeners.

A Catholic's View of Sin is available today at Audible and soon to be released at iTunes and Amazon. Listen as I narrate James Nugent's frank discussion about the Catholic world view of sin and how sin affects both Christians and non-Christians alike.

"Sin is insidious!" Mr. Nugent explains in this comprehensive analysis of The Ten Commandments and how sin can ruin our lives. Thankfully, we have a loving Father who forgives us of our sins which allows us to start over and begin a better, more fulfilling life.

Pick up your copy of A Catholic's View of Sin today and discover the convenience of listening to books.

Foods Voice Actors Should Avoid Before Going Into the Recording Studio

4/5/2016

Before entering the voice acting profession, I studied a lot. I took plenty of notes and afterwards, when I saw how helpful my notes were, I organized my notes into a book titled, "Ten No Nonsense Steps to Becoming an Audiobook Recording Artist." The book is available on Amazon and Kindle.

One chapter in the book is devoted to taking care of the voice and foods a voice actor should avoid before beginning a recording session. I wrote an article about foods to avoid and published it with the hope that I could help new voice actors avoid common mistakes in the recording studio. The article is titled "Voice Artists Don't Eat Polish Sausage - Foods to Avoid Before Going Into the Recording Studio."

In the voice recording studio, time is money. And, when something goes awry with your voice, sometimes, the only thing to do is wait until the problem clears up. Avoiding foods that are hot and spicy or foods that dry out the voice or produce phlegm should be avoided. Some examples are pepper sauce, bananas, peaches and pears. Foods that produce gas are beans and cucumbers. Also consider beverages such as wine, which dries out the tongue and throat and milk that produces phlegm. My article gives more examples and more information. Read more...

Take Care of Your Voice

The following video provides some additional tips that help you take care of your voice. It was created for teachers, but after watching this video, I discovered that it applies to voice actors as well. The narrator explains how to sit and stand to produce better quality sounds from your voice. There are also some helpful tips such as how to stay hydrated and how to properly clear and protect your throat.

2015 was a year of definition. There are many opportunities available to voice actors and in 2015 I had the joy of exploring and developing my voice acting talent to great levels.

With all the fun I had doing commercials, reading for animation, and novels, it is difficult to choose just one area in which to focus my talents. Still, that is what I have decided to do in the year 2016. I'm still deciding, but I have narrowed it down to two genres. I'm going to audition for more commercials and narrate instruction manuals. I like commercials for the royalty aspect and I like instruction manuals because I get to learn something in the process.

What are your goals for 2016? I'd love to hear what other voice actors are doing in 2016.

Thank you for visiting. And, I wish you much success in 2016.
