VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I don't post this kind of stuff very often, but every once in a while there is something so good or so important that it needs to be shared.

We've all picked a very difficult business. There are many more (voice) actors waiting tables than making a living practising their craft. This article added for me - perspective.

The author's name is Linds Redding. He passed away this week from esophageal cancer. I'm disappointed that it took his death in order for me to stumble across his writings.

Last March he penned this article on gaining perspective as someone who sells a creative product for a living.

Sad, profound.

Truly insightful - as Philip points out so often - we're not saving the world with what we do nor are we even doing anything important.

Thank you so much for posting this. This is one of those articles that needs to be re-read at least once or twice a year just as a reminder that life is short and we really need to pay more attention to what's really important.
