The voice of Monk: June 2014
http://voiceofmonk.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2014. This is a post I've been meaning to write for a while. It SORT OF has to do with V.O. work as I'm in the middle of a 30 pound challenge for FaffCon 7. I can't make FaffCon 7 due to a scheduling conflict, however I have been carrying around an extra 30 to 40 pounds of weight that I can certainly afford to lose. Wait, Monk, you're giving weight loss tips? Those calories are sneaky, THEY'RE IN EVERYTHING! What does that mean? A sausage egg McMuffin with a hash brown is 570 calories ac...

The voice of Monk: September 2014
http://voiceofmonk.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 18, 2014. Ok, this is going to be short and sweet. Go ahead, check it out. You'll need Google Chrome. I have tried, and tried to get ISDN in my studio and. Have failed. My local phone company is Fairpoint. Communications, but the phone lines and connection is somehow owned by Verizon. Fairpoint was in bankruptcy. Proceedings, so they're really not interested in helping me get ISDN. But now… oh man, I hope it's as good as it says it is… ipDTL. I think it's witchcraft! The voice of Monk.

The voice of Monk: April 2014
http://voiceofmonk.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 9, 2014. I was having a conversation with my friend Lee a few months back and we were kidding around about vocal warm ups. A quick clearing of the throat and off to the booth. The voice box, as you may or may not be aware of is two thin muscles that shape the noise of the air passing over them. Imagine when you hold a balloon, and you let the air out, and you make noises by tightening and manipulating the end where the air escapes. Same concept. How do you "warm" up this thing? Test your...

Tuesday, March 19, 2013. The Magic of Marketing. Ok I have an agent. James Pentaudi of Albany talent. Is one of the people that represents me and gets me work. Great guy, been with him for years and love working with him. Here's the fun part, the actors roster of who is going to be in for these several days of shooting is a long list of names. First and last. Except me. That's all it said. 2:30PM, playing the part of Frank Heller, Monk. When I walked onto the set, the director yells "MONK! Introducing th...

The voice of Monk: May 2013
http://voiceofmonk.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 2, 2013. So the room sounds great. It really does. People walk in, we shut the door and there's a "Wow" factor. It's that cool. You knew there was going to be a but, right? The audio I was capturing, didn't sound 100%. It was time to fine tune, get into the details of it. The More You Listen. We could insert the usual "Brother-in-Law" jokes here, but I trust Fred and I trust his ears. He's the Front Of House engineer (FOH) for Infinity Hall. Onto the preamp. My suspicion was that the vi...

The voice of Monk: January 2014
http://voiceofmonk.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 16, 2014. The Advantage of You. I'm in Grad School. Yep, I guess holding down a day job, acting at night and doing V.O. work while renovating the house and restoring a motorcycle… WASN'T BUSY ENOUGH for me. So we're studying Communications and Information Management at Bay Path College, fine. And here we are in the second semester and I have heard this reoccurring theme, not only in class and in the books, but also from people in the world I respect. Create value, by being unique. Whom ...

The voice of Monk: August 2013
http://voiceofmonk.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. What I build in my "SPARE" time. Ok ok I DON'T have spare time. But once the brain is in gear, it's hard to stop. So when I do have a moment, I avoid the interewebz and go build something. My latest creation is a speaker and amp built out of a cello. It has a 100 watt blueTooth amp so I can run it from my iPhone as soon as I enter my office. The whole build is here. It sounds pretty decent actually and looks wicked pissa cool. (to my family from Southy! Tuesday, August 13, 2013.
