The Last Thing a Voice Talent Needs…Dental Work

You’re probably wondering why the GKN Weekly Update is a day late. To make a short story long, I was supposed to pick up my buddy from the airport on Sunday night, an 11:13 PM flight. It landed at 2:10 AM.

Yuck! Needless to say, I slept in. The good news is that I woke to a couple of voiceovers in my Inbox.

Yay! Then I had errands to run, a client to visit,  and a personal commitment so I got home after midnight.

Yuck again! So I decided to sleep in again and woke up to a phone call from my dentist’s office wondering where I was.

YUCK!!! I scrambled and got there only ten minutes late. Now I’m sitting here with a temporary crown, a puffy mush, and a pile of commercial tags & retakes waiting to be recorded.

Yuck, indeed.

The good news is now I have time to write my blog while waiting for the Novocaine to wear off. Yay, optimism!

TIP OF THE WEEK

I could have SWORN my dentist appointment was on Wednesday. I even wrote it in my planner! You should have a notification system of some kind in place for exactly this type of situation. Outlook is great with sending you notifications, and I bet your phone has an app for that, too.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
