  Thank you for your welcome Penny and you asked for my story and how i got here. Early in life I received lots of opportunity for public speaking. While involved in the health field I thought I didn't want to get to retirement and not know if I could make it in radio. I was accepted at BCIT Broadcast Communications in Radio. After 3 years in radio I returned to Vancouver and worked in customer service while taking a voice over course for a day along with consultations to get ready for my demo. While in cs I performed 3 voice-over projects. Recently I started in the self-employment program for my business. Right now it is slow with a few projects. I am determined to make it. Today the energy level is low and feeling the need for inspiration. So I encourage everyone to keep going and never give up. I am getting inspiration from the Book IT'S YOUR TIME by JOEL OSTEEN. So many real stories of people moving towards success when it seemed it wasn't there. It's time now to make my plan for Tues. Wishing everyone success.

  Dear Penny:

   

  Thank you so much for taking a little time to wish me a happy birthday... it means a lot coming from someone as busy as you!  Here it is 3 days later and I'm just getting around to acknowledging your kind gesture.

  I also want to take this opportunity to let you know I listened in on last Monday's teleconference with Joan Baker. It was great. You and James are absolutely fantastic - what you give, share and offer to the VO community is a treasure! You're both exceptional and your warmth is infectious.

  Things have been going well for me in my VO work... I'd say a slow but steady stream of small budget and interesting projects with a few better-paying bilingual narration projects thrown in between. I'm still not at a place where I can live off VO but it's a wonderful supplemental and creative income for sure. There's no question that I gained a great deal from last year's conference. This past Jan/Feb I took part in one of Pat Fraley's audio book workshops in San Francisco and am happy to say I have my 1st professionally produced audio book demo. I also have a professionally produced industrial/corporate demo that was completed this past fall through Gabrielle Nistico. So I'm plugging along!

  Thanks again Penny for everything!

  Big abrazos,

  Penny, let me know what you would like to know about me. I love your infectious smile. It makes me do the same. Right now I am anxiously awaiting a new microphone (my other broke) it was ordered yesterday, right now we are polishing up and refining my studio. You should  see it right now... It would make a hit comedy show. ")

  Penny ~ You have no idea how much I needed your message today! Thank you for being so thoughtful and welcoming. I am a firm believer in positive thinking and joined immediately.

  Penny,

  Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I'm absolutely humbled by the giving-nature of the voice actors on this site and within the industry. I'm still a novice, but with the guidance of seasoned veterans like yourself and others, I'm positive that I'll make a contribution to this beautiful art form.

  Regards,

  Octavius
