Do You Know Where You Came From? No, I Don’t Mean That Way…

November 5, 2011 by Rowell

I consider myself pretty knowledgable in things involving voice recording over the years…especially in Radio, film and animation.

November 3, 2011 by Rowell

I finally got a look at my Ranch. Last summer I did the voice of a crusty old farmer who raises the different “flavors” of chicken for Taco John’s.
