Spring… a time for renewal and regeneration! Time to put up the boots, coats and sweaters, and see if you can fit into last year’s summer clothes, or maybe you stuck to your fitness resolution and they just might be too big? Either way, time to do some refreshing of the home, body and mind. For me, I cleaned out my files. While I’m not exactly a neatnik, I detest clutter, and my first order of the day was to throw out some scripts; hundreds of ‘em! While going through them, I thought about how much fun I had with some of them and kept those, but I was grateful to have the opportunity to audition for all of them. I booked some, and actually enjoy hearing how others interpret the ones that got away on TV and radio. I also cleaned up my “tech drawer”. This wasn’t hard to do, because I’m still somewhat of a technophobe, so I don’t get into buying expensive mics and the latest electronic gizmos that’s supposed to help me produce faster, cleaner, make my room/voice sound better. I use our very own Vegas Voicers FB page to ask questions before I buy anything. Grateful that the TVAS community not only has excellent coaches, but is chockfull of experienced producers and engineers! Most importantly, I make a mental note to do a daily meditation and keep my spiritual house clean and in order. Clean out some old ways of thinking; keep out the negativity, replace old thoughts with new ideas and ideals, and spring forward!
