Luke Burbank
Luke Burbank, formerly of NPR and currently host of a radio show on 710AM, has recently moved back to Seattle and is a well known and sought after voice talent. While I was working evenings for a few months I listened to his radio show on my commute home. He has been in a few times in recent months to record different radio commercials and I have never had a chance to meet him. He is working on a big Alaska Airlines radio campaign (32 radio spots) and yesterday (Wednesday) I knew he was coming in so I decided when he came in I would introduce myself and tell him I listen to his show, etc etc etc.
So Im sitting at the front desk yesterday (I'm learning to be a producer!) and I knew he was coming in at 12 so I prepared myself. The phone rings and its Luke Burbank calling to say he is on his way but hes going to be a few minutes late. I say okay I'll tell the right people that you're going to be late, and I hang up the phone. I'm all nervous now (I have no idea why...probably because Ive gotten myself all worked up over it) because I know hes coming in shortly.
A little while later he WALKS through the door (late). He is adorable and in a rush and I panic and I lose all my words. All I can do is POINT to studio C.
POINT?
I didn't even say hi. I POINTED.
I am an idiot.
PS- not sure what made me want to write that out
PPS- Learning to be a producer is SWEET. Who knew talent casting/music licensing could be so interesting and complicated?
