My Thanksgiving Adventure

by Heather Henderson

It’s been a busy month for me work-wise, for which I am grateful.  Holiday advertising is in full swing, which means voiceovers — for which I am also grateful.  And I just finished narrating one book and am starting into another* — again, grateful! But I was sure looking forward to a day off at… Continue reading »

The Magic of the Studio

by Heather Henderson

One of the most enjoyable voiceovers I ever did was an online calculus course for Cengage Learning.  I spent maybe 60 hours recording things like: At the time I was doing this job, my father was very ill, and my siblings and I were sharing the care of him.  I’d go into each session and… Continue reading »

An Audition Abroad (Thanks to Linkedin)

by Heather Henderson

I have a love-hate thing with social media.  I don’t like how much time it can suck up, but I love how many great connections it has given me.  (I also love composing snarky tweets, but those don’t enhance my business as well.) A case in point is how I came to voice this ad:… Continue reading »

Amish Romance: Behind the Mic

by Heather Henderson

I’m expecting the script to arrive soon for The Survivor, the third in Shelley Shepard Gray’s “Families of Honor” series, which I’ve been recording for Blackstone Audio.  (The second in the series, The Protector, was just released.) This series was my first exposure to the Amish sub-genre of the Christian sub-genre of the Romance genre, and I… Continue reading »

Look, Ma — No Noise Floor!

by Heather Henderson

My new soundproof booth has passed all road tests with flying colors!  I’ve narrated one book in there so far with beautiful results, and I love having both my commercial and my audiobook mics set up so that I can switch back and forth during the day as needed. My DH (who built it evenings over the… Continue reading »

I Heart Good Producers

by Heather Henderson

Good copy  makes my day.  Who doesn’t love characters or comedy?  But even if it’s a straight read on a :30 radio ad, a well-written script is so much easier to nail.  The same goes for good videography; if it’s done right, I just sound that much better! So a big thanks to my client… Continue reading »

Audiofile Interview: Hillary Huber

by Heather Henderson

I recommend this Audiofile interview — Hillary is articulate and thoughtful as she talks about the craft of audiobook performance.

True Grits

by Heather Henderson

I saw True Grit this weekend and wasn’t disappointed. I also read Charles Portis’s book when it came out back in 1968 (and wasn’t disappointed). And the 1969 movie (ditto). I loved the book; it was a great Western yarn à la Lonesome Dove, but with Portis’s sardonic journalistic wit underneath everything. Portis is said… Continue reading »

Resolutions Fizzling? Fear Not.

by Heather Henderson

It’s that time of year: the old New Year’s resolutions are starting to falter, and people are sliding back into the low self-esteem they felt during Christmas dinners with their families. (Note that I’m managing here to be both presumptuous and a buzz-kill. What can I say? It’s a gift.) But I learned some encouraging… Continue reading »
