My Voice Moves In With AVO Talent

D.C. Douglas — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 22:07:26 +0000

My voice and my body have never liked each other. When my voice wanted to project strength, my body grew tall and skinny. When my voice wanted to turn on the Barry White sex-tastic sound, my butt would barely hold up my pants. When I was 19, I sounded like I was [...]

Political Voice Overs Revisited

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:30:15 +0000

Last September I wrote about why I perform voice over work for any political party that pays me. I noted that an anonymous voice over doesn’t really have sway upon the voter’s mind, and if it does, that voter may need to alter their antipsychotics dosage. However, that was all before the lovely Matt Kibbe entered [...]

Captain Of The Titanic?

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 08:53:48 +0000

I’ll admit it (before anyone else can make the joke); I thought my career was going to suffer the fate of the Titanic for about five days back in April. (See this blog post for the hysterical details). Yes, I had left a silly message on an inane organization’s voicemail system. It wasn’t the first time. [...]

Love Letter To Dorian Dunas

D.C. Douglas — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:54:47 +0000

Watching Inception the other night I was struck by the subtext of a particular scene. No, nothing to do with “dreams within dreams” or why dream-projection security guys can’t aim their guns effectively. It was an actor’s recognition of residuals. The excellent character actor Michael Gaston appears in one scene with one line as an immigration [...]

The D.C. Douglas Blog Anniversary!

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:09:56 +0000

Yes, this blog is officially a year old! And like a 1 year old, my blog tends to poop it’s diaper with bad grammar and punctuation. My apologies. But it is starting to walk a bit thanks to the help of you, the reader! Last July thru September, I had an average daily readership of six [...]

The Reluctant Playboy Actor

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 11:10:36 +0000

My 11 year old “little brother” looks at me and asks, “Were you ever in a pornographic movie?” The question is so sincere and he is so serious that I can’t help but burst into a bawdy cackle (a trait graciously handed down to me by my burlesque-dancing Grandmother). “No! Of course not!” I say. He [...]

Yep, That’s My Voice Riding Your Coattails

D.C. Douglas — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 08:34:08 +0000

I have no shame! I’m an opportunist, after all! I’ll highlight anyone’s award for anything if I happened to have been connected to it (as in, “I saw so and so in the bathroom during his lunch break the day he edited that promo for that film starring that famous actor whose wife received [...]

Inside Your Tube

D.C. Douglas — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 07:36:12 +0000

It ain’t pretty! Yes, life in the material plane can clog up your “soul tube” after awhile. Most of us will clean it out privately, with a good book, meditation, maybe even a vacation to the tropics. Unfortunately, this new-fangled invention called the Internet (a series of tubes, I’m told) is changing this ritual. Now, people [...]

You Got Your Acting In My Voice Over!

D.C. Douglas — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:36:52 +0000

“You got your voice over in my acting!” … Yum. Two great careers in one! I started this blog for many reasons, though one of the primary ones was to introduce my voice over clients to my acting career, and to introduce casting directors to my voice over career. It’s a heartwarming treat when a [...]

This Is Not A Video Game

D.C. Douglas — Fri, 28 May 2010 08:50:34 +0000

I have had the pleasure of playing a few evil video game characters who kill with abandon. And a few hardened soldiers whose balls are bigger than the two hemispheres of their brain. They are definitely the most fun characters to play. And the acting involved is merely imagination and emotional improvisation. I can mix [...]
