The Perils of Lifetime Achievement

August 21, 2025 by Rowell Gormon

This post isn’t about Coach Jim Valvano of NC State University…well, not entirely. I’m not a sports expert, or even a fan. But if you lived in the state anytime in the 80s, you knew the name. Our paths only crossed when he would come into the radio station to record some of his basketball […]

Turns out “Imposter Syndrome” is the Imposter

August 3, 2025 by Rowell Gormon

Previously, I posted about what so-called “Imposter Syndrome” can look like at the far end of the voiceover road.   And amid all the general (and most appreciated) encouragement, there was this from a guy I’ve always looked up to. Doug Turkel. If you don’t know about him, you should.  https://dougturkel.com/   Aside from being […]

“Imposter Syndrome” Seen From The Other End Of The Road

July 17, 2025 by Rowell Gormon

  You’ve probably heard of Imposter Syndrome, that pesky feeling you’re going to be eventually be “found out”: not really quite as qualified, competent, or talented as you’ve let people believe. Familiar?   It may not be universal, but it certainly shows up a lot with people who do voiceovers. Usually you hear about it […]

Reflections on Presidents Day – or – The Perils of Possessing a Working Mind

February 18, 2025 by Rowell Gormon

I’ve been doing some thinking over the past months (yeah, i know, “uh oh, we’re in trouble now”). Where is the line between (A) paying attention to local and world events – not merely others’ opinions of them, cheering on or pushing back – and (B) disengaging, letting others carry on the mental and moral […]

“Oh, Bother.”

June 6, 2024 by Rowell Gormon

It’s such a common feeling, as I’ve come to find out:  not wanting to”bother” somebody. A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh would express this annoyance with a simple, “Oh, bother!”  That silly old Pooh (so wonderfully voiced in Disney cartoons by Sterling Holloway, and later by Jim Cummings) perfectly captures that dreaded reaction I wanted to […]

A.I. Voiceovers May Yet Start Eating Their Own

May 29, 2024 by Rowell Gormon

The Voiceover community is still abuzz over the emergence of so-called “Artificial Intelligence” and the impact it will have on VO jobs. In my experience (so far at least) voice actors who don’t mind doing more work for less money will be the hardest hit.  I’m not out to bash “low-ballers” and “newbies” here.  Rather, […]
