My brother asked me to edit one of his podcasts that he did with one of his friends. My brother recorded it using the program I use, which is Audition. 

My brother's friend is a professional axe smith. My brother is wanting to learn the ways of axe making and knife making. 

He is starting to interview many different blade smiths. I am helping him edit out the "um"s and "uh"s. 

The podcast was sixteen minutes long, and I haven't finished editing it yet. I'm at nine minutes so far into editing, so there's lots more to do.

This is my new logo that my sister drew for me (If you want to see her cool pictures, go to http://post@horsehaven.posthaven.com/  to go to her blog). I think she did a good job on this picture and I really like it. 

This is a picture of a California quail with the tip of its plume (or topknot) as a microphone.

You will see this picture as my profile picture on my homepage.

I hope you like my sister's drawing!

On the day-before-yesterday (Saturday) my VO teacher, Mrs. Olsen, said that there is a chance I might get my first job! There is a website for teaching kids math, and they wanted to hire a voice actor for their animation videos. She said the pay would be around $1200!

The company gave me a script to work on, so I got to work. The recording is already sent to the company.

Hopefully, they will hire me (there are also other voice actors who will put in their own recordings so they can also have a chance of being hired).

Here is the recording:

I read The Art of Voice Acting and there was a part about exercises before doing voice acting. 

He mentioned yawning was good for voice acting because then your mouth is relaxed.

There are lots of other exercises he mentioned for your legs, arms, body, neck, face and even your tongue and lips. 

The pages you find these exercises are pages 28-33.

The exercise for your horse lips is you just take a deep breath then release the air through your lips. Let your lips "flutter" as you breath out.

If you are interested in voice acting The Art of Voice Acting is a perfect book to start Learning.

This is another blog post about my daily practice on my voice acting of the book The Hobbit chapter 5.

Here is the recording:

The part "Bilbo jumped nearly out of his skin" I had a problem I had to fix. what I accidentally did is I said this "Gollum jumped nearly out of his skin." Notice what I said there? "Gollum," so I had to over-read that part.

In this recording I only read the first page of my script (there were several pages).
