hello, Emorgan_Voiceovers !!!

perhaps you may want to consider joining your area Toastmasters, the public speaking and leadership group.

Toastmasters International - Home

a couple theater and media folks at my group have mentioned that i pine for a mic while giving a speech. either thru a different projection of my voice or physical mannerisms they've seen other 'on air' folks do. which they suggest hinders my ability to 'speak' in a non-radio setting.

i was never mindful of that 'till it was mentioned by folks who have an understanding of where it comes from.
so, now that i'm aware of it, and thru involvement w/ Toastmasters, i'm slowly beginning to retrain the radio brain.

it is very much like what chrisrice said about taking off the headphones.

and it is loads of fun, too.


Be Well
