Here, to celebrate the festive holiday period, are three special Christmas narrations which I recently did for my podcast – stefsvoice4you Broadcast (iTunes).
This week’s holiday narration
Christmas Poems – Chrissy the Christmas Tree; Tis Time
The previous Christmas special podcast
And the first one:
The Legend of the Christmas Stocking
Happy and Safe Holidays to all my friends and readers! See you in the new year.
Just a quick little posting. I recorded a special Halloween tale of suspense and uncanny events for all of my podcast listeners and friends.
Here it is :
The Terror By Night
A Tale of the Curious and Unexplainable

Several of my colleagues in the States have started a movement to name September as National Voiceover Month. It’s good to have something to mark the contributions that voiceover people worldwide have made to society and the economy, I guess.
I did a podcast recently as my contribution.
You can listen to it here:
stefsvoice4u Broadcast – September is National Voice Over Month
My colleague, Stephanie Ciccarelli of voices.com [www.voices.com] – explains the occasion in her recent blog:
“A voice over is a spoken word performance given by an actor who is heard but not seen. Voice overs are produced most often to educate, inform or entertain and can be heard via many different mediums such as broadcast, video games, film, telephony, audiobooks and more.
If you’ve ever heard a voice over and were the better for it, now is the time to celebrate!
Voices.com is pleased to help spread the word about what’s going on…
What’s a Voice Over?
What is a voice over and why might you appreciate voice overs?
A voice over (also referred to as “VO”) is a recorded vocal performance that can be heard in advertisements on radio, television and on the Internet. Voice overs are also consumed via educational materials, public service announcements, narration, talking toys, character voices in cartoons and more.
The human voice is not only part of who we are but plays an important role in how we communicate and express ourselves. Voice over narration tells a story, and when most effective, reaches not only our ears but our hearts.
Because of the nature of voice over, it is sometimes easy to forget that there are people behind the voices. That being said, National Voice Over Appreciation Month is also a time to recognize professional voice over talent and their work.
How We’re Celebrating
At Voices.com, we’re celebrating Voice Over Appreciation Month in a number of ways, including an Open House at the Voices.com Offices, hosting a gathering of voice over professionals and producers and through our sponsorship of the US-based voice over unconference FaffCon. We are also pleased to sponsor and be present at Voices of Vision, a Canadian voice over training and networking event to be held in Toronto on September 23-25, 2010.”
Cheers…

I dug up a book today that has been sitting on our bookcase for ages. I bought it and never had time to read it. I’ve been doing a lot of voice over marketing and voice over auditions lately. I just had a hunch to pull it out this book. Maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something!
The book — by Dr. Daniel T. Drubin –is called:
Busting Your Rut — 33 Practical Lessons to Alter Your Destiny,
Transform Your Life and Free Your Spirit
I did a little recording of a section from the book entitled: Change Happens When You Do
Let’s all stay positive no matter what’s going on in the world and keep on moving forward! Please click on the link below to go to the recording.
Cheers!

I was compiling some inspirational bits for myself — to keep my mind on the right track, and the idea came to me that the best way to share these words with you, was to make a recording so that you could listen to it whenever was most convenient. I’ve probably quoted this author before somewhere in a previous blog!
This reading is about keeping a positive subconscious, and the importance of repetition, duration and emotion in making our goals reality. Please click on the link [the book title under this paragraph] to hear the recording. It’s 3:40 min. long. (Oh, I put a bit of music under the recording, so it might take a few minutes to load!)
