Writing a regular blog post isn’t easy work… It can be at times… I mean something could trigger a 1200 word post out of no where. Its all about what happened to me that day or something that was bothering me and then suddenly reached critical mass and had to be written.

Morning People!
Its the weekend here in Sunny Cairo and I figured I’d give a few of you the heads up on finding some work through a couple of freelance sites that I know get some low paying but regular work. The term Freelancing originally came from the medieval sport of jousting where those Lancers with [...]

Greetings and Salutations,
As a voice over artist… one of the things that I think is necessary for us as an industry is that we help each other. We don’t do that… we think we are by talking about how we should avoid getting colds or suggestions of what hot beverages will sooth our voice… or [...]

Good Morning Folks,
Yesterday was an interesting day for me…. I took my wife and baby girl (she’s 16 months old) to the park. There aren’t that many parks here… Not like Canada… My wife grew up in Vancouver so Cairo is practically a desert in comparison.
