Party on, News As our nation's 231st birthday is upon us, let's not (ever) forget our uniformed troops preserving our independence! Picnics, fireworks, parties, barbecues and beer are the norm on July 4th. Please remember to be safe. More News The most interesting thing happened to me recently. A Los Angeles video production company to whom I cold-call e-mailed my demo solicitation some 16 months ago contacted me for a project. I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to be remembered almost a year and a half later. These guys are true professionals in every sense of the word, they know exactly what they want and they're also quite discriminate in their talent choices. I can only hope that my fellow voice artists have experiences like this. Because marketing is in a constant state of flux, I subscribe to several newsletters on the subject. More often than not, I am amazed at the good information I am able to glean from these newsletters. One of the more recent articles I read opens up an entire new market for voiceover professionals. An excerpt follows:

Fun & Games The answer to last month's trivia question: Many on-camera actors actually get their bread and butter from voiceover work. This month's selection certainly stands out, although his name is seldom recognized. He has provided voices for many animated Disney features as well as having a regular on-camera gig in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He even directed several episodes. He now appears as a regular on the hit ABC-TV show, "Boston Legal". Who is he? ANSWER: Rene Auberjonois
Trivia for July This month's personality will be another fill-in the blank. Okay... ready? He was once Dolly Parton's agent. He also helped to finance the Beatles' first performance at the Hollywood Bowl. He is also a former L. A. Deejay! Who is he?
