The Year In Review - and Happy New Year!
I know I don't write often... but today seems to be the perfect opportunity so here goes:
It's been an eventful year for me. The singing remains as I want it to be - fun and rewarding (thanks in large part, to Allison and Debbie! Really appreciate you two! :D) - and I'll be performing with Play It With Moxie at the upcoming GaFilk convention (hope to see a lot of you there!). I've done some singing for various projects besides and I've been really happy with the results.
Voice overs are going better than ever and just this Wednesday, I did my first national US gig (for Gold Bond, actually) through my agent in L.A.. Look for that both on US TV and on their website, I believe, when they launch the product I'm voicing for. New and big things happening for them! I signed with a new agent in Atlanta about a month ago too. Nothing much from them yet, but that's to be expected. It takes time to build up a relationship. That will mean I have an agent here in Toronto, one in L.A., one who is based in Hawaii and travels all over Indonesia (he was once in L.A., which is how I was working with him originally), and the one in Atlanta. So not doing badly. And of course, I do my best to get business of my own wherever and whenever possible. I'm still on a bunch of online marketplace type websites and that does yield some business. Though more often than not, it comes to me from my website rather than theirs. Would LOVE to do more radio imaging ... but so far, that part of the business has eluded me. :) I'm hopeful though. 2011 is a new year. :)
Oh - and I have new business cards. :D This is something I'm actually kinda excited about as they finally actually match my website. Branding is important, after all. If you see me at GaFilk and would like one for your very own, feel free to ask. :)
My family is healthy, my husband is wonderful and incredibly supportive given that I can't always count on a paycheck - and in general, life is pretty darned good. So when others are counting their blessings at Thanksgiving, I guess I'm doing it now. ;)
I wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. May 2011 be the best one yet!
