Nancy McLemore Talks Professional Voice Actor Website

Flaws

Written by admin on April 9, 2010 – 9:02 am -

In my line of work…talking or doing voice overs….being perfect, quick and accurate is important.

Along comes THE COMPUTER VOICE, and I don’t mean the robotic-sounding computer voice. This voice can sound real…almost fleshy.

I am not in a full panic mode yet, however.

My mother, Margaret used to compliment people who accidentally made a mark on a new piece of furniture. “You have just added a character mark,” she would say as if they had made the furniture more valuable.

Before I reach despondency, I remember the character marks -flaws, the imperfection factor, and I feel a bit more human. My flaws and imperfections help me feel less robotic and more artistic.

That is what I’m telling myself today.

Das ist alles fur heute. That is all for today.

SMA YES but NO Money in the Mail

Written by admin on April 4, 2010 – 3:23 pm -

SMA is our band’s acronym. We call ourselves Shades Mountain Air, and we’ve played bluegrass for 10 plus years now. We have a tongue ‘n cheek song we like to perform called “Money in the Mail” by John R. Hadley. Don Wendorf sings lead and plays mandolin for that number.

“That song will NOT be a part of our set list for the Friday night benefit!”, Don reminded us in practice. The lyrics would not fit this benefit.” Gary, Greg, my husband & Lily and Hank’s dad, and me @NancyMcTalks - all agreed.

Here is the segment of the song in question:

Lily, our daughter planned this benefit for her club called “Just Us” . www.justustoday.org is an organization combatting human trafficking here in Birmingham, Alabama. She’ll be in the @BhamWeekly this Wednesday talking about this benefit.

Anyway, SMA would be happy to see you out at for the event.

FEAR of TWITTER

Written by admin on April 2, 2010 – 2:30 pm -

Kicking and screaming, yet curious and excited, I attended my first lunch with Birmingham area twitter users - and kids too. We met at the Bottletree Cafe, @BottleTree, which serves a “mean” quinoa with tofu. Everyone was quite friendly and the discussions were interesting.

Here are the 2 main reasons I attended:

Randy Archer @RandyArcher - his upcoming nuptials (met love on Twitter)
Melissa @ccts -she has to tweet for her job at UAB in medical grant writing

Here are the 2 main reasons I have not tweeted more:

Pride and laziness

I don’t want to do anything wrong or stupid on twitter but you only learn from making mistakes
I just didnt want to take the time to learn all the lingo and manuevers
RT re-tweet #hashmarks la la la la

So I’m trying to get over
1. fear of being made fun of
2. laziness for blogging I do have a voice

Das ist alles fur heute. (That is all for today)
