<p>Nothing "fun", it is a piece of animation that the local mental health group did and that our company wanted translated for its French-speaking employees.</p>

<p>I played the part of an Irish immigrant who is having problems with depression.  I tell his story and then there's a "Come to Jesus" meeting with the boss.  All told about 10 minutes.  It took over 2 hours to get it right.  The character actors have my utmost respect. <br>

<p>Sounds tough but interesting, Griz!</p>

<p>my life goal is to do character work cartoon or commercial voiceovers</p>

<p><during 35+ years of teaching 5-7 year olds, I've discovered that a huge variety of phony accents and silly voices can entertain even the most disinterested of kidlettes></p>

<p>The hard part for me was not letting my head get ahead of my mouth.  I've done radio and I'm okay at it in English, but French was a bit daunting.</p>

<p>my neighbour has a recording studio and suggested I might be able to make some money on voice work.  We've never done anything about it. </p>

<p>When the obys would give me light grief over something and ask for my reasons why, I would often respond in my most cheesy Gary Owens impression "Because I am a RAAAADIO Announcer!"  I did this once in a parking lot of a mall here in Calgary and got a job offer.  I laughed.</p>
