A Real Live Job
Acting, that is, specifically of the voice variety. Actually, it wasn’t so much acting as just reading, but voice work is voice work. Also, this time I got paid. Ka-ching!
I got the call early in the day Friday, and was in at VoiceTrax in The Valley post-lunch to lay down some bits for an accent reduction training program. It’s a terrific studio with friendly and professional engineers. It was a treat to hear playback in the booth, rather than having to rush back to the computer in the living room, as I do when recording at home. They liked me a lot (one take on the majority of the cuts). Apparently, I have one of the most “standard” American accents the director has heard. Yay?
Paid voice work is my holy grail. If I can get enough of it to make a living, I win.
