VOICE POWER

I will be discussing my voice experience with accents. I would go to YouTube and research .... Get the accent firmly in my mind.... I have many saved in my bookmarks from Arabic to Southern. The easiest is The Indian Accent. They are wonderful people kind & friendly. All over South ASIA there are different Accents, not just Indian there is Pakistani, Sri Lankan & I am glad to be born in India. The Texas accent is the most difficult because ... David Stern is a dialect coach who has taught Hollywood... The long “i” becomes “ah”: In a Southern accent, the long “i” sound (pronounced “eye”) sounds more like “ahh.” For example, “tired” becomes “tah-d” and “bike” becomes “bah-k.” Ah becomes so tah-d because Ah was riding my bah-k from Houston to Austin.It’s such a long long way ah want to go to bed. I voiced a Boston Accent & it landed a voice-over for The Church by the Glades in Florida. I used my New England/Boston accent for Voicing a segment of Frederick Douglass - The hypocrisy of American Slavery, 1852. “ How should i look today in the presence of Americans ...There is not a man beneath the canopy of heaven who does not know that slavery is WRONG. The Chicago accent is a more relaxed accent. A’s are very important & some of the t"s become d’s. The higher your voice is the more you get a Chicago sound especially with women. A deeper voice guy the accent doesn’t stand out as much. For example : Dat guy & I are going down to 1060 West Addison to watch a Cubs game. The whole idea in doing different accents is to see how much your voice can stretch....

In 2002, he started a non profit organization called Clothes2U with the purpose of giving clothes to Langley residents, free of charge. This remarkable idea grew out of a single parents support group Ernie formed a few years earlier. One in 10 BC residents are below the poverty line & this makes a significant difference to thousands. He started by giving adult clothes & has grown to clothes for babies to adults, toys, linens, diapers/incontinence products, books, personal and smaller household items. They’ve grown from Langley to also serving Surrey, Newton, Guilford, White Rock, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, & Chilliwack with two events per year per community. Many thousands are encouraged in their lives by these events. They are held in halls and church gyms with the space provided free. Attendees over the age of 10 pay a $3 entry fee and that is their only cost. They are welcome to receive as many clothes as they need for free. The entry fee is for the expense of operating Clothes2U and does not cover all the cost, thus, the balance comes out of Ernies’ pocket. We are going to hear more from this incredible & generous man & what drives his passion for helping others. It is with great pleasure I welcome Ernie Jantzen to VOICE POWER. https://www.clothes2u.ca https://www.facebook.com/ernie.jay.9 Ernie communicated that Clothes2U is extremely low on ladies sleepwear, maternity outerwear and underwear.

On cable TV viewing a promotion The sleep project at Shaugnessey Hospital in Vancouver BC. There was lots of sleep education, including: sleep patterns, inner sleep clock, stress affecting sleep, relaxation tape, & my questions & progress. Once my initial interview was completed my task was to complete a survey on my sleep quality. It was important to not take any short cat naps during the day. Instead if i got sleepy during the day i would go out for a good brisk walk. Going to bed & getting up at the same times was vital to setting the inner sleep clock. When i haven’t fallen asleep very quickly I was directed to get up & do something relaxing. Like read a book or watch TV. I always know when i have a lousy night that the next will be a good sleep. Dr Fleming carefully analyzed my surveys on sleep. Then he booked my overnight stay at Shaugnessey hospital for a nocturnal polysomnogram. The results were I did not have any major sleep problems.

Escaping from a Romanian industrial town of the Eastern Communist block 33 years ago. Michael Tudorie climbed critical hurdles to make his way to Canada & adjust to a new life & become a successful real estate agent for RE/MAX Select Properties in Vancouver, BC. Author Michael Tudorie left Romania for Canada with mere pennies in his pocket, fleeing the tyranny of his home country for a new life in Vancouver. An investor and homeowner himself, Michael remains a down-to-earth, hard-working realtor who's always willing to educate anyone wishing to learn about his corner of the market. Michael believes that Canada is special because we're all from different parts of the world, with a common goal to get along and not feel like outsiders. While other people may have suffered worse atrocities or hardships than him, we are all here to feel safe, comfortable, and present as our best selves, especially for future generations. In his book, Michael shares his journey through life with the reader, because he believes that everything has come together for a reason—that all the challenges he faced earlier in life gave him the foundation to accomplish what he has today. If he hadn’t had the courage to leave his home as communism arrived, jumping onboard that ship in a Swedish port, he might not have had the courage to launch his own business. The various circumstances he faced over the years strengthened and prepared him for the next challenge, and he looks forward to sharing these challenges and meeting those that lie ahead. His strong community involvement: Soccer Coach of Vancouver United Football Club, In School Mentor for Big Brothers, Canuck Place, & Kits Neighbourhood House. https://www.amazon.ca/Life-Moves-Memoir-Michael-Tudorie/dp/1088772781/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3MKU7KKSSQT5I&keywords=life+moves+on&qid=1672244894&sprefix=life+moves+on%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-2 https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeltudorie/ https://michaeltudorie.com My offer 25% off my regular recording fee email to dukeearl@shaw.ca & in the subject line VOICE POWER.

Ross' journey to voice-over began in the 3rd grade. His first introduction into the recording arena started by recording books on tape for his fellow students. Immediately, his interest was peaked, and he started devoting more and more time to recording on an old reel-to-reel machine. Throughout his school days, Ross performed the morning and afternoon announcements over the school's PA system. Additionally, he worked as the DJ at the local roller rink. His first big opportunity came when CJIB – the local station – allowed him to cover high school basketball games on their radio station. This led to his very own one-hour show during the middle of the night. From then on, Ross never looked back and is steadfast on his broadcasting journey as a voice-over artist. In his senior year of high school at Vernon Senior Secondary he enthusiastically received training at the Columbia School of Broadcasting. For 5 years from 1995 to 2000 Ross was the Account Manager & Voice Actor at 95.3 FM in Vancouver. For 5 years from 2007 to 2012 Ross was the Co-Founder, CEO, Producer & Voice ACTOR at GO2 Productions in Vancouver. Today, Ross works diligently from his home studio, where he performs voice work for TV scripts, radio broadcasts, online videos, and a variety of other media. https://linkedin.com/in/rosshuguet Websites https://rosshuguet.com https://rosshuguet.com/blog https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLetjdpTF_YJvUlUpXaKH8NBEZfFEyrqh5 My offer to you, 25% off my regular recording fee email to dukeearl@shaw.ca & in the subject line VOICE POWER.

When we know our purpose we know our why. My why is to communicate effectively by actively listening to those who are speaking in person. As we listen a communication flow begins.....

Welcome to VOICE POWER, Creating Positive Energy Episode 19 of Season 2. We will embrace positive energy. We all go through times of negative energy & it feels like it is never ending. People typically have more than 6,000 thoughts per day. We all have energy & are responsible to keep it glowing into the positive. Over working without breaks ...When a situation occurs responding ASAP is necessary... What triggers your negative thoughts? I know that when someone does not show up when they agreed to & gives no advanced warning will be a de-energizing experience. When someone does show up I am very grateful & will express my gratitude. At times it is very challenging to stop the negative & convert it to positive. In creating effective voice-overs I need to be in a positive space. When constant fraud calls come in & I decided to find out who they are & make a complaint it was de-enregizing. I was not able to do an outstanding voicing. Now i know the steps to block those calls & their frequency is greatly reduced. Being positively focused makes a difference in that all my voice skill will be empowered & focused for creative expression. Choosing to be with positive, powerfully encouraging people creates great amazing energy. Recently with a long time friend I enjoyed a Starbucks get together. It felt like we’d been chatting for a little over 1/2 an hour. In fact it was 2 hours, our conversation flowed & we both were relaxed & it felt like time stood still. List 5 people that we feel totally comfortable with. Think of creative ways to send them positive uplifting messages. When a negative situation jumps at you it is important to have a strategy to convert it to a positive. 1.Close your eyes & take 3 deep breaths hold & release your breath ( unless you are driving , only take a deep breath & release. 2. Imagine what the other person is feeling & empathize with what they are going through. 3. Try to express in a positive manner the negative experience. 4. Recall a similar experience when you responded in a positive way. 5. At the end of the day write in your journal 3 experiences or people that you are grateful for. Here is a challenge that i have experienced The Gratitude Challenge. For 21 days choose 3 people or experiences that you are grateful for. You may ask what does this have to do with voice-overs? It has everything to do with voicing. When i step up to express & do a project or audition I must be fully present in a positive way focusing on giving my best & not allowing any negative space to come into my body & voice. I would love to hear your positivity expressions send them to dukeearl@shaw.ca. Love to hear your feedback on this episode. Feedback is also welcome at Buy Me a CoffeeDot com.
