Yeah, how else do you reach out to someone whom you haven’t spoken to in over 20 years, right?
Well things and people change, life moves at galactic warp speed, so its only normal that you turn around, for just one second…. only to find that YEARS have gone by!
When you’re in the #voiceover business… or any media business for that matter…Time can be a friend or a foe! In my case, it has brought back so many acquaintances that relish in the fact that we have all grown up! It seems I have more in common with them NOW than I ever did! Family, travels, likes and dislikes… but also the passion for our work.
To make a long story short, I’ve spoken to a few people over the years through LINKEDIn with whom I have keeped in touch. It seems ONE DAY, someone has a gig for me !
Well that ONE gig was something that seemed so insignificant for them … BUT I HAD been waiting for…well, for what seemed like forever. An opportunity to produce a Documentary… or should I say ROCK-U-Mentary on my favorite band! which you can find here…. DEF LEPPARD Rock-mentary- SECOND LOOK
It was just like giving Candy …no, a mountain of candy to a child! Its been a while but I thought I would share this.. . because I am grateful to these same people who have opened sooo many doors for me since! Needless to say, sometimes what seems like an unattainable dream, feat or endeavor…TRULY IS POSSIBLE.
What I have learned from ITS BEEN A WHILE.. is that people can truly surprise you with their connections and knowledge… REACH OUT to people you know because in my opinion…no one is out to get you, on the contrary, they likely share the same views you do, which are enjoy the moments you can and help others achieve their moments too!
There is so much enjoyment that comes from that!
