Hi Penny--it was great finally getting to meet you and Jim in person at the Wrap BBQ on Saturday! I had such a great time on the cruise, especially being around my very talented--and very positive--peers! It pretty well decided me to go to Voice 2010 in June. I also had lunch the next day with my songwriter friend Shelly--I'll post about that in the Positive Thinkers group later.
All the best,
Dale

Penny,
It was wonderful seeing you again last Saturday. I wish we'd had a chance to talk, but we both had sooo many people to catch up and too little time. I'm looking forward to VOICE 2010, although I know you have even less time.

Best,
Shane

Hi Penny, you can share any of my comments with the group if you'd like. I just joined AFTRA on Monday and attended a seminar given by Gwyn Gilliss, she runs a program called the Actors Market. The topic was how to make 6 figures. It was a lead in to a coaching program lasting several months after an initial audition. She claimed a great success rate and intro's to agents, casting directors etc..... It seemed to be discouraging trying to do it on your own -"You need my connections...." I don't know at this point what the best route is, it's a little frustrating. I've walked over a good portion of Manhattan handing out demo's and head shots to anyone that would accept them. - I know I've got the right stuff, I just need someone to at least listen! My spirits are up and my future is positive! Have you ever heard of tut.com? It's a site on positive thought and so often has been right on the money with whats going on in my life. O.K. enough babbling, best wishes to all my new friends in the voiceover universe! Ted Morgan

Thank You so much Penny.. God bless

Thanks Penny... Yeah another year has gone by. I'm doing some on camera film work this upcoming weekend. I play a young single Mom who flirts with the lead until she finds out he's unemployed. It's a film called Bag Man Ray.
Ted Morgan September 28, 2009 at 4:45pm

Thank you Penny for the warm welcome. Our stories are similar, I'm 51 years old and way back when, I studied acting. Along the way life had a way of sending me down another path. Until now, voiceover has been a way for me to still keep my creativity alive. In the beginning of this month, with no notice at all, my job was eliminated as a corporate real estate broker. Now I'm collecting unemployment and my wife has been kind enough to let me live the dream, for now. So it's sink or swim, it's a little scary to be truthful. I honestly think I have the right stuff. Thanks again for the inspiration. Best Wishes, Ted Morgan
Patrick Sweeney September 28, 2009 at 10:39am

Thanks Penny. You are an inspiration, as your story in getting into VO is something I can relate to very much. I hope to see you at the upcoming Voice 2010 conference. It should be a blast! Take care.

Hello Penny, It was an absolute pleasure meeting you at the Voicelympics Cruise on Saturday. I hope you enjoyed yourself and I look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
