VOvember 7th: Today’s prompt of Inferno led to Henri Barbusse’s 1917 book The Inferno. A real switch in tone today from yesterday’s Peter Pipericous time behind the mic. And variety is the spice of life. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 6th: Puzzling is today’s prompt. And I’m pleased that this prompt pointed me to the preface of “Peter Piper’s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronounciation” (1836). Perhaps this preamble post piques your interest and you’ll prick up your ears and play this pocket-size performance of mine. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 5th: I don’t think I’ve ever recorded a recipe for my VOvember time before, but there’s a first time for everything! (Or the first time was years ago and I’ve already forgotten!) In any case, that’s where today’s prompt of onion has taken me. This gem of a reecipe for Ham Noodle Bake from the 1950s cookbook “50 Wonderful Ways to Use Lucerne Sour Cream”. Bon appetit and happy listening! #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 4th: Skeletal is today’s prompt and a whole slew of 50s Sci-Fi options surfaced for it but I decided instead to go a different direction and selected this little passage from “The Minds and Manners of Wild Animals: A Book of Personal Observations” by William T. Hornaday from 1922. Kinda felt like it had an old Disney nature documentary vibe. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 3rd: I used today’s prompt of “Lesson” to let me play in one of my favorite genres, 50s Sci-Fi. My recording for this VOvember installation is from the short story “Lesson for Today” by Joel Nydahl which appeared in the magazine Imagination Stories of Science and Fantsy in May of 1953. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 1st: So many talented artists – friends of mine among them – just finished “Inktober.” I’m following suit — for the 8th or 9th year now (I think I may have miscounted a couple of years) — with my own version of their fun and creativity which I call VOvember!
I’m glad to be continuing VOvember as an annual tradition. I base it on a desire to reinforce a daily creative habit. VOvember reminds me to explore new text, new characters, new techniques, new styles — and I aim for it to reinforce working quickly to just get the sound out there in the moment and experiment with it later if I like. So, here’s #1 of 2025. The prompt: “Vacant.” The text, from a 1790 letter from Thomas Jefferson to George Washington on the topic of Native American rights to their land. #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Inktober #VOvember #VOvember2025 #Voiceover

VOvember 30th: “Discover” is today’s prompt for my VOvember time behind the mic — the end of this year’s VOvember fun, in fact. And not only did the prompt lead me to ’50s sci-fi (huzzah!), it’s ’50s sci-fi with a chickens theme! Yes! Just at the time of year my Cluck of the Bells and Sleigh Cluck videos start going viral again (https://www.youtube.com/@fullervoice – me clucking Christmas tunes with animation by very dear and talented friends of mine) comes this beautiful confluence of VOvember sci-fi recordings and December chickens! Here’s a bit from “Chicken Farm” by Ross Rocklynne from the March 1953 Planet Stories magazine. #VOvember #VOvember2024 #Voiceover

VOvember 28th: “Exotic” is today’s prompt for my VOvember time behind the mic, and it led me to a short story and a fascinating tidbit. The short story is “An Exotic Prince” and the fascinating tidbit is that while it is attributed to Guy de Maupassant, apparently that is not true and that more than 60 short stories in the early 1900s were attributed to him but aren’t now believed to have actually ever been written by him — not that he was passing off someone else’s work as his own, but rather some other reason which seems to still be a bit of a mystery. Literary trivia for you. https://literature.stackexchange.com/questions/14259/which-short-stories-are-falsely-attributed-to-guy-de-maupassant-and-why #VOvember #VOvember2024 #Voiceover

VOvember 27th: “Binoculars” is today’s prompt for my VOvember time behind the mic, and I was happy to find that it led me to 50s Sci-Fi. This is the from a Galaxy Science Fiction magazine piece called “The Luckiest Man in Denv” by Simon Eisner, published in 1952. #VOvember #VOvember2024 #Voiceover

VOvember 24th: “Hike” is today’s prompt for my VOvember time behind the mic. When you search the word hike in public domain literature, a lot — a LOT — of Boy Scouts books come up. Books about the Boy Scouts, book by the Boy Scouts, books with Boy Scout characters in them. My choice of text for today is the latter of those. This is the opening of the book “Roy Blakeley’s Funny-Bone Hike” by Percy Keese Fitzhugh, published in 1923. #VOvember #VOvember2024 #Voiceover
