Default Aloha ...

Aloha, my name is Karen and I'm a voice-over wannabe living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I first contacted Julie years ago (while I was in San Antonio, no less) and now am MORE THAN READY to get going. Still in the "developing skill" phase, though, and feeling trapped in paradise b/c there are NO resources out here. Gotta love the Internet, forums, CDs and mail-order books, though, until I can get back to the mainland and more readily accessible workshops (or until I can lure Julie out here). Until then, I'll just be practicing my heart out on my own (and paying keen attention to what you actual voice-over people have to say!)

Hi Karen,
Believe me, I'm really tempted to go to Hawaii! Don't give up on that yet!

Welcome Karen!

Take a look around and you'll find some great people and information here. If you look in "Leads and Reads" you can listen, post and comment on auditions.

Hope to hear much more from you on the forum - take care,

Hi, Julie:

I'm glad you haven't forgotten about me! It's a beautiful place to visit. And I'm serious about moving back to the mainland, too. It'll all work out in the end.

Aloha, Alan:

Thank you so much for the encouragement. It's exciting to think about doing this and I'm rearing to go, but patience is a constant lesson, isn't it?

Looking forward to reading all through the forum and learning as much as I can.

Karen

Hi, Joe:

Thank you so much for the welcome and the arrow to the auditions. It'll be great to hear what people are doing and learn from that (I'll probably hold off awhile on commenting!)

Hope you're having a great day!
Karen
