10 Week VO Holiday Challenge: Take One!

Wendy — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:13:40 +0000

I went ahead and took on a promotional 10-week challenge led by Terry Daniel during which time voice over artists like us will do FREE voice over spots for charity. Terry intended for us to do one free spot over the next ten weeks, but you know me. I couldn’t just jump in. I had to dive in, swim and declare it a marathon. So, I’m doing 10 free voice overs for 10 charities in the 10 weeks before Christmas. I just finished this radio-ready PSA for The Lennon Project. Have a listen!

Thanks to my friends Justin Barrett and Les Sinclair for lending their voices and talents to my script! There are 9 spots to go. Do you know of a charity that needs to be heard?

EDIT: Thanks to One Spirit Learning Alliance of New York and Peaceful Passings of Palmyra, VA, there are only 7 spots left to use my voice for free in this #10WeekVOHolidayChallenge!

“I was going back to my second year of Baylor University and I wrote in Myrtle’s yearbook that someday maybe we’d be back together.
