Now on Day 6 of what was supposed to be a 2 day project doing maintenance work on our roof. I've been unable to do much of anything in my booth with all the noise. Should be done today, though! Then I will be playing catch-up with recording and editing! #audiobooks #voiceacting

I had the great privilege of narrating the audiobook of _Personal Injury: A Corrupt Conspiracy_ by @scottjohniauthor, and now it's been released into the world! This fast-paced action thriller is a terrific read (and, I hope, listen)! Go grab your copy on Audible and/or Amazon! #audiobook

Currently in the prep phase for my next audiobook: _Stellar Origins_ by Nicholas C. Hershey. This is a fun, fast-paced book with a unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements, unlike anything I've read before! Pumped to be working on this! Thanks to Nick for having me on board!

The 5th annual Utah Audiobook Narrators Conference last Saturday was mind-blowing! Thanks SO much to Emma Faye for putting it together and P.J. Ochlan (shown with me in the photo), whose eye-opening POV about POV I will be taking to heart in all my narration. #audiobooks #voiceover

One of my favorite quotes, and something I try to live by. Rather than letting errors or failures get to me, view them as lessons that teach you to not make those mistakes again. It's not easy in the face of impostor syndrome. There's another, more valuable perspective and approach to them!

Now entering the proofing and editing phase in my recording of _Personal Injury_ by Scott Johni. This is an amazingly fun book, full of terrific characters (who are challenging my narration skills in the best ways)! #audiobooks #voiceover

RECOMMENDATION: if you're going to proof and edit your own audiobook narration, splurge on a really good desk chair in which you can sit comfortably for long periods. My cheap-y model, even with a seat cushion, make my tush ache after not very long... 😬 #audiobooks #voiceacting

It's been ages since I've read Huckleberry Finn, but I'm learning a lot of new perspectives about it, and having a really fun time, by narrating _Study Guide for Decoding The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ by Steven Smith (published by Sherwood Press)!

A few weeks ago, my wife & I went to the supercross finals in SLC. It made me think about analogies with voiceover. Both:
* require coaching, practice, & skill.
* can be grueling.
* require financial investment.
* are rewarding.
But don't try voiceover anywhere near motorcycle races...! #voiceover

Great conversation today over on Clubhouse (as there is every Wednesday) about all things audiobook narration! Highly recommend @anaclements.bsky.social's Narrators Assemble group if you're not already in there, as well as Brian Telestai's Narrators' Workout on Mondays!

In addition to being an actor, I'm also a paleontologist who has published many technical papers (most recently journals.library.ualberta.ca/vamp/index.p...). This background really has helped with non-fiction narration and knowing how to research material so I have a firm understanding of it.

I'm quite beside myself to be a finalist for a 2025 One Voice award! I am deeply honored thank all the folks at the One Voice Awards for their consideration. And I also must thank @anneganguzza.bsky.social for her incomparable coaching and direction!

To test various mic placements for reducing plosives and the need to depend on processing to reduce them, I came up with eight test sentences and thought they might be helpful to other voice actors. Here they are for all interested parties!

Ever have one of those days when you and your microphone seem to have a completely antagonistic relationship? 😖Today I kinda want to remind mine that I have ready access to large hammers...

Just want to recommend the Libby app for listening to audiobooks. It's only limitation seems to be the holdings of my local library (maybe I should see about getting a library card in a bigger city? 😅). If you're looking for a great way to access audiobooks, please check out @libbyapp.com!
