With many friends who are animators, I get immersed in and entertained by their prolific drawings during the month of “Inktober.” I was inspired by their efforts and decided to do the same with my voiceover work. The name VOvember popped into mind (and made me chuckle) since my VO fun follows the month after their Inktober.
So, scroll on down and here’s to VOvember and the creativity and exploration it brings each year!
VOvember 28th: With today’s prompt of Crown, I got to record a little bit of an introduction to the history of the Declaration of Independence for my VOvember time behind the mic. This is a bit of a page on the topic from the Website of the National Archives. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 26th: Pierce is today’s prompt. It surfaced in the poem “I Strike My Flag” found in the book Deck and Port; or, Incidents of a Cruise in the United States Frigate Congress to California. Project Gutenberg writes that his chronicle offers “insights into life at sea, naval discipline, and interactions among the crew and passengers, providing a window into the maritime culture of the time.” This snippet — my VOvember time behind the mic today — encapsulates that nicely. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 22rd: Today’s prompt of heavy guided me to the book Ethon From by Edith Wharton. Apparenly fairly well known, though not to me. A quick paragraph from it is my VOvember time behind the mic today. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 22nd: Sweep is today’s prompt and I found an instance of the word in a 1930s Sci-fi novel called The Black Star Passes. This bit takes place over Nebraska — ya know, exactly where you expect Sci-fi to happen… #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 18th: Today’s prompt of Trunk carried me to a letter from George Jefferson to Thomas Jefferson from September 1st, 1890. George was a distant cousin and business associate of Founding Father Thomas Jefferson. Such a slice of life in such a short letter. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 16th: Fairy is today’s prompt. “A Fair’s Blunder” from a collection of stories for children called “The Grey Fairy Book” is where the prompt led me. And this little bit of the opening of the story was my VOvember time behind the mic today. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 14th: Today’s prompt of Deal lead me to the book A Square Deal by Theodore Roosevelt (yes, that Theodore Roosevelt). Today’s VOvember time behind the mic is the opening paragraph from it, and wow did it strike me to be a super-relevant warning to today’s Americans from one of our leaders over a hundred years ago. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

Prompt: Deal

VOvember 12th: Today’s prompt is rivals. It took me to a novel of historical fiction, and I recorded the fist paragraph. As is often the case, but more so today, I’m not in love with the text. As is often the case, but more so today, I’m not in love with my delivery of the text. But a part of my VOvember process is just knocking a bit of something random out quickly, so that’s what I leaned into today. Not everything has to be great, or even good. But it can be good — even great — to just trust the process. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 10th: Today’s prompt of button allowed me to be introduced to Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang, America’s Magazine of Wit, Humor and Filosophy — a monthly collection of amusing prose, poetry, and essays published by H.W. Fawcett. Here I’ve recorded his first of several entries under the heading “Drippings from the Fawcett.” Hope it gives you a giggle. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 8th: Rowdy is today’s prompt. Much as I expected from the word itself, it led me to text from a western novel — the opening of Rowdy of the Cross L, by B.M. Sinclair from 1907. Felt a little of the world I grew up around coming through on this one. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover
