VoiceOver Objects of Desire – springy chair/stool

I’m at the Back Pain Show at Olympia in London, and I found this splendid stool that would be fabby for those narrative voiceover sessions when one is perched half sitting and half standing, on a stool.

It’s been designed so you can use the spring mechanism to raise or lower the chair to desired height, then lean on it. And it takes the weight off your legs whilst you are perched on it. It felt brilliant! Wish I had one!

I must save my VO pennies and get this chair one day soon. It goes for £300 and a bit, I think the lady said. So, up on the dreamboard this piccie goes.

Find Higher Ground!

Pace Ourselves and Be Strong

This was in my DailyOm newsletter this morning (www.dailyom.com). Brilliant advice voice artists, entrepreneurs and ambitious, goal-oriented people no matter what our chosen career and service offering.

Here is part of the contents of the message that particularly touched me!

“When you feel yourself growing impatient because the pace of your development is deceptively slow, remember that everything that will occur in your life will occur in its own time.

Quelling your urge to rush will enable you to witness yourself learning, changing, and becoming stronger. There is so much to see and do in between the events and processes that we deem definitive.

If you are patient enough to take pleasure in your existence’s unfolding, the journey from one pinnacle to the next will seem to take no time at all.”
