Client Update- August 30th- Summer,
2008
My Dear Friends and Business Associates,
First of all, thank you for your business
and your friendship. I hope your summer
has been enjoyable and that you're ready
for the busy seasons ahead. I wanted to
update you about some things going on with
my life and voiceover business.
It seems as though our youngest daughter's
high school graduation just happened, and
then…poof! Last week we dropped her
off at college. Life really seems to move
faster over time. In spring, my website
underwent a major update, and I am really
excited about it as all my demos are now
playable from each page. In August, I was
at the VOICE 2008 conference in Los Angeles,
where I served as a senior staff-level team
leader. We had approximately 475 attendees
from all over the world! My voice over business
has experienced a very busy summer and I
wanted to share some fun projects I've been
working on by offering these clickable links
for the visual effects, too.
Professional Datasolutions Inc, the developers
of software for convenience retail and wholesale
petroleum marketers, hired me to record
25- :30-:60 audiovisual client educational
vignettes.
This is one of the pieces- a (wmv) file
with a corporate feel: http://www.bobbinbeam.com/video/GTNOneDatabase.wmv
And at Maps 101 just click on the video
screens on the right side of this page for
an upbeat commercial read: http://www.maps101.com/
I like doing pro bono work, and am a regular
narrator for Reader's Digest podcasts at
http://www.airsla.org/readers_digest.asp
The August story was fascinating, on China's
coming out party, "City of Shadows".
Hopefully there will be other very exciting
projects to announce in the coming months.
I am truly thankful to all of you for your
business, your kindness and support. And
know that I am available to "give voice"
to your next project. I look forward to
the opportunity to serve you again.
All The Best, Bobbin Beam
