Tomorrow

Given that I'm focusing all of my efforts on voice work, I'm doing my best to get an update or two every day.

I'm running around and pretty busy today, but my update is this:

My vocal work on Orson Welles has progressed so quickly that I will soon be doing an excerpt from the infamous radio broadcast in October of 1938. I will be working on this tomorrow, either right before or right after the dialogue I've already posted. The audio / video for the two should be a great deal easier for the Welles work, so I'd expect to see that one first.

Here's a transcript of the opening to that broadcast which is also the quick demo I plan to be doing:

***

ORSON WELLES: We know now that in the early years of the 20th century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as human beings busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacence people went to and fro over the earth about their little affairs, serene in the assurance of their dominion over this small spinning fragment of solar driftwood, which by chance or design man has inherited out of the dark mystery of Time and Space. Yet across an immense ethereal gulf, minds that to our minds as ours are to the beasts in the jungle, intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. In the thirty-ninth year of the twentieth century came the great disillusionment. [It was] near the end of October. Business was better. The war scare was over. More men were back at work. Sales were picking up. On this particular evening, October 30th, the Crosley service estimated that 32 million people were listening in on radios.

I've also been speaking with my cousin a lot, who is also an aspiring voice actor. I'd like to make a larger update on that conversation later today or tomorrow since we had a lot of valuable suggestions for each other that I feel would assist other aspiring actors (voice or otherwise).

In brief, we talked a bit about mods, talent agencies, abridged series (Cowboy Bebop, for example), and a couple of other things. When I get the chance, I'll post an update about those useful tips and tricks.
