Welcome AllAccess Readers!

Hey...........I Got Ink!!
For the next week, all the world will be seeing my profile on AllAccess' "ON THE BEACH" feature. Go check it out: www.allaccess.com, then go to JOB MARKET.

If you're visiting me from that site, I want to thank you with a free gift. Call me at (865)661-0532 and we'll discus what I do for you in the realm of audio/voice over production.

Be sure to check out all the demos, postings, and links. My goal is to network other freelancers with each other, sharing gig-getting tips and critiquing each other's work. A big shout-out to John Small at GreatRadioAds.com. He's as small as you can get from the freelancers' point of view, but he has heart and passion as big as the sky.

Fire Up The Lighthouse

This week I've had a great opportunity to be a service to the greater good and to my own passion.

I'm spending the week taking part in a clinical research study at UT Medical Center to help develop a bone marrow support medication for chemo patients. Basically I'm lying in a bed and nurses take my blood (and other bodily fluids) to see how the meds are absorbed.

Meanwhile, with a killer laptop and WiFi, I'm able to cook up radio ear candy for three national voice talents, for them to use as demo fodder and consequently get my production skills on the radar of stations they service.

Guess you can say the Lighthouse has been turned on with two fires this week. One paying big now ($1000 for the time and prodding here at the study) and the other potentially paying off big in the future (the benefit to cancer patients and their immune systems, and the gigs for me as a producer).

In writing this, I think I've found the content of my next Lighthouse Group newsletter, The Gold Beacon. Lately there hasn't been much good news to spotlight.


Till next time.
