Five years ago this month, I decided to become the VO Strategist. What a crazy ride it’s been! My brain works funny. I often see the world as an incomplete tapestry filled with holes and missing pieces. It bugs the crap out of me. I’m always trying to get a better understanding of the universe; how it works, why it works, and what I can do to help fill the gaps. Back in 2012, a major gap that I noticed was a serious lack of coaches and instructors that help both aspiring and

I saw Wonder Woman last week. It was so good I’m compelled two share my two cents. And yes I’ll make it relate to voiceovers somehow…! (FYI there are no spoilers here, I wouldn’t do that to ya) Casting: Gal Gadot was cast perfectly as Princess Diana. Chris Pine was a fantastic Steve Trevor and her supporting cast were hilarious, three-dimensional, and human. I think the second act, which seems to be showing up less and less in these big summer movies, really grounded the char

New York Comic Con 2016. Oh. My. Goodness. I and my fellow Agent 1.22 staffers had a booth in Artist Alley and it was an incredible experience! Over 180,000 crazy-awesome people attended the four-day event. That’s the line to get in. Some waited three hours! That’s our booth. We were a few comics shy of selling out! Here’s one of the many amazing cos-players who dressed up for the weekend: Batgirl! We also had a camera crew interview some cos-players for “1.22TV”, coming soon

The new “Suicide Squad” movie was bad. I loved it. To give you a bit of context, I’m a hard-core DC Comics fan. I have been since the day I bought Issue #5 of “Crisis On Infinite Earths” and saw this panel: Seeing all of those heroes & villains come together to confront a major threat made my jaw drop. I still get the giggles when I see that image. Don’t get me wrong, I like Marvel too. Disney has done a fantastic job of building the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and I’ve e

Denver Comic Con. Holy Crazy Awesome Geekfest, Batman! For three days we promoted our comic book Agent 1.22 to the masses, and what a massive amount of masses it was. Over 100,000 people showed up and it was insane in a great way. (left to right) Agent 1.22 artist Doug Shuler, co-creator Angelo Panetta, and yours truly at our booth. One of the many amazing cos-players (FYI that’s Nightcrawler from the X-Men). I even ran into one of my voiceover clients! Some fellow voice tale

So…I’m hitting the road again. Yay! This time I’m heading to Colorado for Denver Comic Con from June 16 to June 20 to promote our comic book “Agent 1.22“. I will be manning Booth AV215 with Agent 1.22 artist Doug Shuler. If you’re going to the con, please stop by and say hi. If you live in the Denver area but aren’t going to DCC, email me at tom@nulltomdheere.com if you’d like to hang out one of the evenings I’m in town. FYI for my clients; I will be bringing my mobile record

Those of you who have read my ramblings over the years may remember that I used to post brief movie reviews. I loved doing them but after a while it didn’t line up with the thrust of the blog series. I’ve always wanted to do a full-blown review but couldn’t find a film I felt compelled to write about. With that in mind, in lieu of a regular-type blog entry I present to you my amateur review of the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice“. There’s a voiceover lesson at the e

Recently, someone asked me where I get ideas to write my blog. It depends, really. Often I look in my planner to see what happened last week. Usually an entry reminds me of a question or an experience and I’m off to the races. Sometimes it’s seasonal. For example, at the beginning of every year I write something pertaining to goals or another way to set you up for success in the New Year. Sometimes it just springs out of my head for no damn good reason. A few days ago I was u

…and just like that, the holidays season is upon us! This is the time of year where everyone is Nutsy Fagan with shopping, trip planning, dinner planning, gift wrapping, tree trimming, party going, and other miscellaneous craziness. We’re so busy getting stuff done that we don’t get anything done. Despite all the distractions, I think this time of year is especially important because now is when you start should setting personal & professional goals for next year. I know it’s

Hello and Happy Unique Names Day and Day of Unplugging! I remember a time when I made it a point to not turn on my computer on a Sunday. Now I can’t go an hour without being online via my desktop, smart phone, tablet, or TV. Times have changed, haven’t they…? I love comic books. I have since I was a kid. Like many adults, I still read & collect them. I only collect a couple of titles and it’s not a fetish like it is for some, but I must say that I do get a bit giddy when I si
