Hey, there!
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times from prospective new clients: “I’ve always been told I do very funny voices.”
Which is great, when you’re entertaining kids or performing in talent shows or on open mic night at a comedy club.
But it’s hardly necessary or even a help when doing most kinds of voicework. There’s something far more important. Continue Reading →
Hey, there!
My client Bill Sarkisian writes:
“David…you have a very short, 1 sentence reply you use for [audition submission notes for] all jobs, right? Something like, “Hi, This is David, I’m an actor, play scary guys on TV.” Would you do a tip on that? I want to make mine short and succinct as well.”
Happy to. Continue Reading →
Hey, there!
I’ve seen a lot of VO artists and actors chasing their tails when it comes to keeping up with casting directors.
CDs move around a lot, because, like us, once they finish one job, it’s then their job to find another job. Which usually means a new show or commercial project, and a new office, which isn’t always announced.

But…all that changed when he realized one big advantage to working out online. Continue Reading →
Hey, there!
I know. I know. No one has time to read everything.
I hear you.
But you don’t want to be caught flat-footed when the ground shifts beneath us.
And it’s been doing that in show business a lot these days.
So what’s the best way to stay on top of “the business”? Continue Reading →
Hey, there!
If you haven’t heard me wax poetic about Gmail and what an advantage it is for VO talent and actors in general, we need to get more bagels and coffee together.
And one of the best options in Gmail is one that, if you have more than one email address, will make your email life far more streamlined than you might ever imagine.
Especially if your email is handled by a cable company (cox, comcast, roadrunner etc) or an ancient service (Hotmail, Juno, AOL, Prodigy, etc).
You could be missing a lot of valuable information and not even know it. Continue Reading →
