How I did it
How to find the perfect bra
It took me
6 months
It made me
very very happy

How I did it: i figured i was a 34C because that's what i was in college. then i saw some oprah episode where she told the females of the world that they were probably wearing the wrong bra. i didn't believe it but i was curious. lo and behold -- i passed by a shop on the upper west side called brasmythe and on a lark, i went inside and got measured. surprise -- i'm a 36DD. Yikes. Read how I did it…

How to make 2008 MY year of victory !
It took me
365 days
It made me

more work in another direction 12 months ago

i did an episode last week for season 2 of that children’s cartoon i did last year that had me singing and talking funny—and i’m doing pick ups next week. i also finished my commercial voiceover demo (finally!) so i guess this means that my voiceover career is up and running.

what’s next?

i’m doing a mailing to let casting agents know what i’ve been up to— because they can’t give me the job if they don’t know that i exist.

i’m setting the dates to record my next CD this september, thanks to the jazzmobile win and my income tax stimulus check.

i’m hitting the gym every day for a month, to knock off the last of this day job chunk so i can take new photos for the next project.

onward and upward!

Finish my voiceover demo (read all 3 entries…)
my voiceover demo is DONE! yippee! 12 months ago

dan duckworth at voiceovers unlimited emailed the voiceover demo to me a few hours ago. it’s only about a minute long. i’m absolutely over the moon that i got this done. it sounds fan-freakin’-tastic! don’t believe me? click here to listen for yourself.

i decided i wanted to try my hand at voiceovers because i figured, if i made money when i sing, why not when i talk? i got proactive, i set goals and priorities, and now i’ve got another stream of income, just like that—one that i can stay at home and do, at my leisure in my pjs if i feel like it.

all of this is already starting to pay off: last friday i just recorded an episode for season 2 of PBS’ wordworld! (i’m the elephant…)
