another camp this fall in toronto

Peter K. O'Connell — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:38:21 +0000

In reading another edition of my friend Donna Papacosta’s Trafcom News blog this morning, she pointed out that there is a new “camp” coming to Toronto. While Podcamp Toronto 3 will likely pop up again in February, 2009 (with no conflicts in my schedule I hope…although Joe’s birth wasn’t so much a conflict as it [...]

links (dead and otherwise)

Peter K. O'Connell — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:17:33 +0000

Just finished going through the blog links on this blog (cast your eyes to the column on the right for a moment to see the list). You’ll probably not notice that the list is shorter by two names of folks who’ve stopped publishing a blog or just haven’t written in a long, long, long (you get [...]

spraying manure with lysol

You’ll recall with some humor I hope (or lots of humor in my mind) the hubbub about the 2012 Olympics in London and how everyone hated their logo. Maybe not everyone, one assumes the designer thought the logo to be nifty so I shan’t generalize. Well come to find out last June (yes it escaped my [...]

those funny french

Rémi Gaillard is a fairly notorious French prankster . He gained a certain amount of attention in the French media after performing a well-documented series of pranks, including a famous appearance disguised as a Lorient football player in the 2002 Coupe de France final match where he would eventually take part on the celebrations [...]

myanmar is still a disaster

Peter K. O'Connell — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 03:07:49 +0000

The tragedy in Myanmar (Burma) from the cyclones continues with this report being secretly produced and now broadcast globally by CNN. Like life itself sometimes, it’s tough to watch so be warned. And you can still donate to UNICEF here to help families in Myanmar (Burma). Anything you can spare would go a long way for [...]

peter o’connell’s new commercial demo

Peter K. O'Connell — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:13:41 +0000

A unique title (not) because “my commercial voice over demo” sounded weird to me. Better I speak of myself in the third person like all the self-important pro athletes (not all just some). Mmmm, maybe not. Anyway, this new voice talent demo was long over due and joins the political commercial demo, audiobook demo and the [...]

because of the children

Bravery is knowing your chances for success are slim and fighting anyway. You fight because you have a reason to live. Today, let’s all remember our reasons to live and say prayers for Tony Snow’s wife and especially his children. Bookmark to:

happiness is a great voice class

Peter K. O'Connell — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:53:13 +0000

Although I attend all too infrequently so that I can be at home with the growing fam, I am allowed back in to study occassionally with the great teacher and my friend Toni Silveri of The Voice Actor Workshop here in town. Quick plug: Toni is bringing into Buffalo her long-time friend Pat Fraley on [...]

some folks go splat! (fail) in social media

Peter K. O'Connell — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:39:16 +0000

Whether its blogging, podcasting, social networks (like LinkedIn etc) and the other tools, some folks either understand social media or they don’t. But just because they don’t understand the tools and more importantly the community, doesn’t mean they don’t pick a channel and run amok. They just look a little foolish doing it. New Blog I was pinged [...]
