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, […]

Grunters and Screamers

March 12, 2019 by Rowell Gormon

I’m not a Grunter or a Screamer. No, this has nothing to do with my love life. (Shame on you.) “Whooooo Are You? Who-Who, Who-Who.” One of the first tools I received as a budding young copy writer was “Tell ’em who you are by telling ’em who you ain’t.” That may not be the […]

Two Words That Should Be In Every eMail You Send

October 23, 2014 by Rowell

…no, I don’t mean “Hire Me” or “Pay Me”. They’re simple words, easy to use, often neglected or thrown about as an afterthought.

September 25, 2009 by Rowell

I promised to update the earlier post about my brief brush with the Star Wars galaxy when Lego’s “Quest for R2D2” using my opening narration was finished. The animators did a knock-out job with some really cute gags and some spectacular action. Have a look!

I Become A Tiny Speck In The Star Wars Galaxy!

August 11, 2009 by Rowell

I’ve been a die-hard Star Wars fan since well before that June 1977 story in Time Magazine put the rest of the world on alert as to what was coming. So you can imagine the thrill I got at becoming even a small part of that much larger world. The people at Lego have created a new online […]

Once Again, I’m The Ignorant “Expert”

February 7, 2009 by Rowell

I’ve done voice work for computer companies, science labs, autoparts manufacturers, pharmaceuticals , escalator repair teams, accounting departments…explaining things to people who actually know the business I’m supposedly the “authority” for. Fortunately for me, I’m evidently a good actor. Add one more to my list of know-nothing spokespersons: GOLF. Yup, for the next full year, I’ll […]
