The prompt “Shoes” from this year’s Inktober’s prompt list took my VOvember recording to “The Elves and the Shoemaker” by the brothers Grimm. It’s a short fairy tale, so I did the whole thing. It was fun to be reminded of how the story goes! #VOvember2020 #VOvember

Many of my fabu artist friends once again participated this year in “Inktober” — a drawing every day in October to build/reinforce positive habits in their craft. It’s a really cool concept. And each year it inspires me to do the same thing with my voiceover work, and I’m running with that inspiration again this year. With a tip of the hat to Inktober, I call it VOvember – a quick bit of VO work posted every day in November to build/reinforce habits and elements of my art and craft at the mic. Here’s the first one of 2020 (and a nice distraction from everything else this year has given us!). The prompt: “Ominous.” The source: Jack London’s 1906 novel “White Fang”. #VOvember #VOvember2020 #Inktober

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!
My final VOvember 2019 recording is of a poem from 1914’s “Cornish Catches and Other Verses” by Bernard Moore (thanks to the Inktober prompt of “catch”). Here’s wishing you “a banger catch for Monday!” Already looking forward to VOvember 2020… #VOvember #VOvember2019
Well, you just can’t go wrong with Plato’s “Republic,” and that’s where today’s prompt of “Injured” led me for this VOvember recording. Ain’t it crazy that when you listen to this, you’ll be hearing words that (albeit translated) were written well over 2,000 years ago?! #VOvember #VOvember2019
The prompt “Coat” from Inktober’s 2019 prompt list took my VOvember recording to “The Chinese Coat” by Jennette Lee. Just recording these first paragraphs from the 1920 story make me want to read the whole thing. #VOvember #VOvember2019
The prompt “Dark” coupled with a request from a dear friend for something by Edgar Allan Poe brings us this bit from “The Unparalleled Adventures of One Hans Pfaal.” In hindsight, I realized it needs a very different read, but part of the VOvember experience for me is putting things out there I’m not completely happy with — it’s about creating, not perfecting. (And that’s hard for me to let go of!) #VOvember #VOvember2019
“Tasty” is today’s prompt from this year’s Inktober list, and it took me to “The Khedive’s Country” by George Manville Fenn (1904) for my VOvember time at the mic today. A little something for anyone with a green thumb. #VOvember #VOvember2019
A prompt of “Tread” took me on a little journey for my VOvember mic time today. This longer-than-my-usual bit from “Chimney-Pot Papers” by Charles S. Brooks is enchanting — an uncles’s wish for his young newphew’s imagination! #VOvember #VOvember2019
“Sling” is today’s prompt courtesy of Inktober’s list, and it flung me toward “The Scarlet Lake Mystery” by John Blaine for my time at the mic today. Yep, more sci-fi, but you’d never know it from this clip! #VOvember #VOvember2019
