  Thanks for your comment on my wall, Penny. :-) I always thought I needed to actually be working to be here on VU.
  
  Still need to set up some time with you and James. Been having to really sprint to keep up with projects for that tiny little company I work for. 8-P

  Thanks, Penny, for your kind welcome and your inspiring story. I, too, am taking that leap into the career I always wish I had pursued, but for the doubting thoughts. So I am pleased to meet you and truly appreciate your positive community making.
  
  Best to you,
  Stephanie Ray

  Penny
  Thank you so much for the welcome. It means very much to me. Sometimes I wonder if getting involved in VOs is nothing but a pipe dream...I mean - come on, at 50 years old can I really hope to achieve anything in such a competitive world filled with younger and more energetic people??
  The problem with that is: I don't think I can't do it. Every time I'm in front of that mic it just feels so RIGHT.
  Fortunately my wife is incredibly supportive and because she sees in me the passion I have for this she has announced that I will face serious consequences if I give up on this strange, weird yet wonderful dream of mine.
  After falling into this by accident (I had to voice some training films we were producing when our announcer never showed up) I had to go out to find out how I can do more of this. I discovered Jame's book in the library and devoured it (2nd ed) and now have the 3rd edition on order along with some others. I built a studio so that I have someplace to record and now have a voice coach I am very happy with (Debbie Munro). I am saving my pennies to hopefully participate in Voice 2010 so long as the military will allow me the time off to take leave. In the mean time I will be continuing to study, work with Debbie, produce a demo when I am ready and absolutely refuse to say to myself when I turn 60 if only I had given it a shot...
  
  Thanks again Penny

  Good morning Penny,
  
  Thanks for the invite! I'd love to join your group, but am new to this system, and can't seem to find a link so that I might actually join.
  Suggestions?
  Thank you.
  I'm looking forward to great things,
  
  Jodi

  Hi Penny! Many thanks for such a warm welcome! Looking forward to be part of the "universe". And yes, of course, I'd be delighted to join your group. Positive thinking is what we really need!

  Thanks Penny...I have been trying to get voice over work for three years and have tried everything from voices.com to looking for an agent...nothing seemed to work so I put it on hold for a while. Now I'm doing my own show on community radio and this gives me a chance to get my voice back in shape. My voice is strong, but I have a slight New England accent to it (I do pronounce my R's but sometimes I drop the G's in words like talking...)
  
  If I could just get that first gig I know someone would like what they hear.
  
  Looking forward to talking to you again soon.
