There's a word

There’s a word

  Every once in a while there’s a word I have trouble pronouncing during a gig. It’s always just one word that even the audio engineer starts I make fun of me for. The producer or client will ask, “what part of the mid-west are you from?” Wha!? I suppose I should be flattered since I’m a Jersey Girl!

Today it wasn’t just any word, it was the PRoDuCt NaME! Yikes! It must have been listed about 8x…

Casting Directors: Who are they to you as a VO Artist?

Casting Directors: Who are they to you as a VO Artist?

I just read a Huffington Post Article: What Does A Casting Director Do?  by Kate McClanaghan. So many times people ask me about how to break into the VO industry. Although it’s not as easy as most people think, I always offer the 4 fundamental basics in how to get started. …After I’ve confirmed the person is truly interested in my craft and they’re not in it because: ‘People always tell me I have…

Samburu Mother: Chai?

(Very rude to not accept)

Volunteers: Ache Oleng.

100*f - we wait for the fire to start, the water to boil, maybe the tea leaves to be picked ;)  and then the hot, hot, hottest tea ever is served.

Tea cup in hand, but in small stool in partial shade, "Ache oleng".

Who will go without tea today because WE are having it?

Sip, ouch, HOT. mmmm, so sweet and smokey made from the goat's milk and tons of sugar. hmm, what's that earthy taste? -Oh, it's just a bit of the chuck of dirt on the rim of my cup. egh, it's just earth... Actually NO, it's COW DUNG- a..k.a. Samburu dish washing liquid, mmmmm. 

Back in the truck for the two hour journey home from Paraeu -->

Dear tummy, Please forgive me (at least wait 2 hours) for the unpasteurized goat's milk and poop I just consumed.

kids

Near the end of the workday a bunch of kids (baby goats) came close to the school and started eating one of the flowery trees. Jane ran out clapping, in hopes to shoo them away. She asked two students to heard them away and they did.

A few minutes later there was one solo goat screaming crying for his lost heard of friends. It broke my heart (and made me laugh) so I asked another student to help him find his friends. He did so but they laughed a bit since I know they don't see them all as I do, my little Charlie dog looking for his home. They're just so cute!

It's almost 10pm and I'm turning in. Tonight with earplugs to drown out the Donkeys and melatonin by my bedside incase I wake up and am wide awake again tonight. It's kind of funny to think I can sleep through airplanes, trains, fire engines and cop cars but birds chirping is way too loud.
