Hey, They Think I Sound Alike!

July 8, 2010 by Rowell

As promised, a postscript about that audio tour of The Breakers, where I’m the Voice of the Vanderbilt Summer Home in Newport. It was treat enough to be chosen as having just the sound the clients were “listening” for in the initial recorded audition. But it was an even bigger compliment on the job itself, hearing […]

If There WAS a “Magic Bullet”, I’d Be Wearing Kevlar

June 30, 2010 by Rowell

[Originally posted as a comment on my friend Pam Tierney’s excellent and introspective blog. My comment went on so long, it turned into a post of its own…which wasn’t the intent. So I’ll put it here too, even though Pam has first claim.] She was writing about the disappointment of realizing there wasn’t going to be any […]

Deciding to put more effort into writing my “clogged blog”, difficult as it has been, is nothing compared to the effort of finally getting some conceptual changes made in the rest of my website. Part of the process is perfectly understandable: working with artists, photographers, people capable of actually creating the website and making everything work…I’m dealing […]

The Clue That Gives You The Clue

June 18, 2010 by Rowell
