When I was studying voiceover, I took a number of improv classes. They were a lot of fun even with my horrible stage fright. All was fine, until one day we got a sign-up for a 2-day musical improv class. Hmm, how bad could it be? It was just one weekend. To this day, it’s …

It’s Time For Your Close-Up! Many years ago, I was taking an on-camera class as a compliment to my voiceover training.  What you learn when you train as a voiceover actor is that agents don’t just want a one-stop shop. They really want someone that can do voiceover, print and on-camera work. So even if …

“Anger, without exit, is poison.” ~ Mary D. Unfortunately it’s been another tragic week. So much has been written, posted, discussed on the topic of gun violence and yet it continues to happen. If you’re feeling depressed, overwhelmed, consumed with rage, or all of the above, you may need a way to process and articulate …

As you know, the holidays are full of parties and family/friend get-togethers. But sometimes just the thought of starting a conversation with new people can make me want to head straight for the bar and the nearest wall (preferably by an exit).

But let’s say you tried EFT and it just didn’t work for you. It was okay, you felt a little better but you’re just not …

Would you lie? Would you steal? Would you kill someone? I know, kinda dramatic but is it really? When desperation kicks in, perfectly nice, normal people are capable of perfectly not-so-nice abnormal behavior and ALL of us are susceptible. We lie to ourselves We steal our dreams We kill our hopes and our essential selves …

How free are we really? I personally don’t know anyone that has grown up completely free of the attitudes and beliefs of their family. Our religion, our skin color, our thinking around money and finances and even how we eat is strongly influenced by our family. A lot of us were raised to not question …

I need to finally clear up a BIG misconception about the fear of public speaking. One that I hear and read about A LOT. The misconception is that those of us with stage fright, social anxiety, highly sensitive or whatever other label you want to put on it, lack confidence. It’s crap. Those of us …

The other day a friend joyfully told me she had broken wide open. “What do you mean” I asked. She said she went from being someone who was afraid to sing to singing all the time (she had left me a singing voicemail which I loved)! She felt herself completely connecting with the strangers around …
