Ambitious voices


Today I went into my agent's office in S.F. to record an audition voiceover, in English and Spanish. I rehearsed over the weekend and found the word in Spanish for backslash, which I had not known, and which even my friend from Argentina couldn't recall. Then I retyped the two scripts in large font, making it easier to read. I had a frog in my throat this morning, a bit hard to shake. Thank you, Ricola!

I love recording in a studio. I wish I had one at home...another project on my to-do list.

Marga asked that we audience
 members distribute her flyer.
Saw Marga Gomez's wonderful one-woman show, "Not Getting Any Younger," at The Marsh in Berkeley. It's a smash! She is a true New Yorker from The Bronx, a West Coast transplant who, as a single and childless woman of a certain age, really nails it when it comes to observations of society's current shifts and decline, from a marginalized group's perspective. One of my favorite parts of her monologue addresses what it's like to be in a clothing store (Forever 21) for the hip and young when you are perhaps only the former, and the problem Marga finds in style, fit and, particularly, in oversized armholes. Then she knocks it out of the park regarding how today's youth respond to the words "Thank you." Some may say, "Uh-huh," or "No worries." It's not so much about what they say - it's about how Margo Gomez brings these vacuous characters to life. Try to see the show, which has been extended through June 30.
