Testimonial from WDSD’s Sky Phillips
“As an air talent, programmer, and voice guy myself for over thirty years, I’m hard to please when it comes to picking what voice I use on my station. When I first heard TOM’s voice, it drew me in with a tone quality and delivery I had only heard in […]
Mind Magic 2
I love this: it’s called “Neurobics”.
Neurobics is a term coined in 1999 by late neurobiologist Lawrence Katz, and it describes a concept wherein individuals can employ simple mental and physical exercises that enhance brain performance by growing new neurons and dendrites. The idea is that, by stimulating the brain with non-routine actions and sensations, new neural pathways are forged while the aging process of the brain is slowed down.
Here’s a tiny little “magic show” I threw together to illustrate a couple of ways I use neurobics. If nothing else, I think that, by trying out some of these ideas, you’ll notice an increase in your creativity — and maybe even in some of your abilities!
Enjoy!

I mean seriously…what do you want?
Just say it…whatever it is. Our loud. Right now. And then see yourself having it. Even more important: feel it. Because whatever it is you want, you can have it. Make up your mind right now to take off your hat, throw off your coat, roll up your sleeves, get […]
Voice Actors: Buy Nancy Wolfson’s “How to Sound Real and Nail the Sale”
Unless, of course, you already have! Seriously, this affordable, downloadable instructional video package falls squarely into the “must have” folder of any voice artist interested in sounding natural, motivating listeners, and most importantly — getting gigs. And, as I often do, I’ll draw upon several aspects of my life as […]
