Every time I got to record in the studio, I used to dream about actually being employed in one, where I could be there every day. That opportunity came to me several years ago when I was invited to join the team at The Production Block Studios in Austin and be mentored by Joel Block and Bill Harwell as a recording engineer. I met Bill when I first got to Austin, and he helped me update my voiceover demo. I fell in love with the The Block back then, and would have done anything to work there. It was years later, after I’d had my own recording lab for years and been working independently, that Bill and Joel asked if I wanted to come on board as the office manager and part time engineer. Nobody could ask for a nicer group of people to work with, or an organization with as much integrity.
A few voice demos later, I’m part of the best talent agency in Austin (db Talent) as a narrator, and can thankfully say I’m working.
