As you may know we are teaching FREE introductory voiceover classes this month at the Sacramento area Borders Books and today we had 40 in attendance at our lunch hour class on Fair Oaks Boulevard!

What a fun and talented group of people showed up. From college kids to a few who had recently retired and even one spunky lady of 83; it was an inspiring class to teach.

A common thread shared among many of them was that doing voiceovers has been a lifelong dream. Something they had always wanted to do but didn’t know where to start.

I am thrilled to see people pursuing dreams. So many times dreams are considered risky, and consequently, people will take the “easy road” to a lifetime of living “safe bets”. How sad is that? And more important….how BORING.

One thing I have learned in my quick 49 years on earth is that life is too short to not take risks. Forty years from now, when I’m sitting in my rocking chair and looking back at my life I don’t want to regretfully say “I wish I would of done that!”

Today when I contemplate trying something new I always give it the “rocking chair test”. I ask myself: will I regret not doing this? Is this something that I'll think about when I'm in my rocking chair? And, the test always comes back with this message: GO FOR IT!

Plus, everyone loves an old lady with a good story. I want to have a few books-worth.

So I continue to try new things and push myself into sometimes uncomfortable territory. I want to tell my great grandkids someday that as a middle-aged woman I skied black diamond ski runs, kayaked white water rapids, raced speed boats with grandpa and refused to follow the leader.

What are you waiting for?

We have one more FREE voiceover class this month at the Natomas Borders location on Tuesday, April 29^th at 7:30 PM. It’s called “How to Make Money in Voiceovers”.

In my opinion there isn’t a more rewarding way to earn a living.
