Years and years locked away in a VO recording space can really harden a person. Witness Bob Souer's return to the world of blog posting which ends with this heartfelt sentiment:
| Quote: | | ... And, to wrap up these thoughts for today, here’s one last thing I’d like to suggest. Whatever else you do in your interactions with your voiceover co-travelers, don’t be a dick. |
For a full transcript send 10 cents and a stamped, self addressed envelope to the Merkle Press, or follow this link:

Bruce,
Thank you for the shout-out. It had to be said. More to come on this subject in one fashion or another in the days ahead.

Edit - " don't be a dick" to "don't let people see that you are insecure"
Not quite as pithy but bang on target.
First, you have to think differently. |

Well! With language like that now we know why Bob is only the SECOND nicest guy in voiceover!
An addendum to Bob's quote might also be: "There's a world of difference between confidence and cockiness."
