It's the honor of my life to have narrated @themonstersknow.com's new book, which released from @simonandschuster.bsky.social today. I have one of Keith's books on my bedside table, and have been playing D&D since I was 8 and DMing since I was 16, so this was a Pinch Me moment for sure.

Assisting with casting: - Video Game Trailer - Non-Union - 30's Female - $250 - 1-hour remote session - NAVA AI Rider included More details and submission instructions: docs.google.com/document/d/1... DUE TUESDAY MAY 27 by 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET GOOD LUCK! 💪😤

I am totally and completely floored. I have just learned that I have been nominated for a 2025 One Voice Award for Best Performance in an Audio Drama by a Male. WHAT!? Congrats to all the nominees - you set a high bar which I strive to emulate every day. Thanks, @strangekindstudio.bsky.social !

Next on up, please give a round of applause and a great big shout out to another new cast member who will be making his debut appearance in Season 3, Episode 4. It's the astounding @gmhakimvo.bsky.social !!! 💜🖤 #podcast #audiodrama #season3

Has anyone ever gotten any work (or auditions) from @voquent.bsky.social? I've been on it for a few years and have been sent exactly zero auditions from them and have booked zero jobs.

Attention Dubbers! I am talking to a company about dubbing, and they are asking for my dubbing rates for finished hours of audio. As far as I know, dubbing is based on working hours and not finished audio hours. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. What would you say to them?

One of my big goals for 2025 is to narrate a LitRPG title. I've played D&D and Final Fantasy since I was 8 years old - this is right in my wheelhouse. So far, two auditions, not hired for either, though I was proud of both auditions. Come on, universe - make it happen!

Favorite way for casting to collect auditions: Dropbox Acceptable: Attach mp3 to email Just ok: Google Form Annoying: Google Drive link Least favorite way: Discord But to be fair, am I willing to do all of these? Yes. Yes, of course.

Hey look! It's me!

Audiobook nightmare phrase of the day: "I can't speak to specific instances."

We're pleased to welcome GM Hakim to the cast in S5E09 Hierarchy of Needs as Dr. Linton @gmhakimvo.bsky.social #CastPhotos

Audiobook nightmare phrase of the day: "two breakfast-less Sundays passed."

Well, I just got a few major thumbs ups on my auditions on Bodalgo, for which I used my "fake British/mid-Atlantic/neutral" accent rather than my normal American accent. That is heartening to see! Makes my Monday!

I want to give a shoutout to @girlmadeofjade.bsky.social for posting this snippet of me and her in a doctor's interview gone horribly wrong for @thestoragepapers.com horror podcast recently. Or gone right, depending on whose perspective you take.

Woohoo! I'm now listed as a narrator at AudioFile! www.audiofilemagazine.com/audiobookind...

Audiobook nightmare phrase of the day: "grasped an aft gate handle."

Remember when it was so cool if you knew the college tour guide? They'd be mid-tour, and you'd be all, "Hey, Joe!" and all the high school kids and their families would think, "What a great community!" Haha... simple times...

Audiobook nightmare phrase of the day: "...whose sleek fuselage flowed with light lime tones..."

Some Voice Acting perspective: Baseball is hard. Baseball = 70% failure rate makes you a Hall-of-Famer Voice Acting is hard. Voice Acting = 92% failure booking rate makes you a legend. Keep at it. Every day. #perspective #voiceacting

Boo yah!!!! I got turned away 12 months ago but now I'm in, baby!!!

Year-End stats from Year 3 #voiceacting - 2024 🎙️ 1635 Auditions 📘 90 Bookings 📈 5.5% Booking Ratio 💰 51.2% of my final year teaching salary Not too shabby! That's more than double what I made last year. There probably won't be too many years where I can say that.

Cast in 25 - but not all released yet). 3) 12 animations ❌ (9 - room to grow here). 4) Grow w/LinkedIn ✅ (I've grown so much with regular use of this platform.) 5) Book work w/12 new clients via direct marketing ✅ (14!)

Sound off if you won #whamageddon2024! I still have yet to ever win #whamageddon and I want to know it's possible!

Christmas can be strange. It's the only time of year you can see an ad for something like Buntington's World Famous Nut Mix and think, if it's world famous, then why have I never heard of it before?

PSA: It's very difficult to convince a 4-year-old that "Do" and "To" are pronounced like they are, because "o" makes an "oh" sound, so quite literally, even a two letter word like "Do" should sound like "Doe," and "To" should be "Toe." WHY, ENGLISH, WHY!?

I just lost at #Whamageddon 2024... still have yet to win one...

My current D&D group is me (the DM), my wife, 4 neighbors, and my 71-year-old mom, who is playing for the first time. When I was in middle and high school she was very scared of my hobby and reluctantly let me play. Tonight, she killed her first 3 bad guys!

I spent 4.5 hours recording an audiobook today, & I got 2 hours 42 minutes of finished audio. THAT is a personal record ratio, by a lot, and made possible by my wonderful engineer handling all the technical stuff. I am floored. A revolution is coming! I have now learned what is possible!

Live recording a phenomenal audiobook all week this week with an engineer - how fantastic to be in session all day every day! This is a first for me, and I'm pumped for it!

Whimsical, piratey fun on the high seas! Colorful characters & courageous kids star in this delightful audio drama from Iridescent Acord Productions - listen & CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE! Your vote directly affects the next episode. I play scurvy helmsman Rittem! open.spotify.com/show/5luUQMM...

Ugh... it's so rainy out. I can't wait for the clement weather to return.

Audiobook nightmare phrase of the day: "In an incalculably bad coincidence."

In thriller books, where the chapter epigraph is something like: 24 November 0800 Hours Huawei Headquarters Shanghai Am I the only one who can't keep these straight at all? They're interesting to read, but I have forgotten the previous one so I have absolutely no sense of sequence at all.

I've been watching a lot of The Lion King with my kid lately, and for some reason, I always thought of Simba as JTT's voice, without thinking about who voiced adult Simba. Well... I guess I should have known it's Matthew Broderick. But now I can't get Ferris Bueller Simba out of my head!

Well, flying to LA in a month wasn't on my to-do list, but out of over 1,000 auditions, I'm officially in the Top 40 for the CBS Audition Spotlight! Big thank you to Joan Baker and Rudy Gaskins for putting on this incredible event and for your generosity! It makes a real difference. See you in LA!

My very first AudioFile review! And it's a sweet one - highlighting the touching story written by Pete Hautman and co-narrated by Pete Cross for Dreamscape. Thank you so much to AudioFile for the kind review, and Michael Jones for casting. I usually say I'm a baritone, but ha-HAH! I am a bass now!
