Idling, Demo is a Go

I’ve posted my commercial demo to the Audio page.  So long as I don’t think too deeply I like it.  It was a peculiar day when I got it back.

On first hearing the whole thing I really liked it.  Hell, to me, it sounded darned  professional!  I try not to get snowed by production & sound design.  That part had better sound good, considering what it cost and the big time reputation of my producer. But the part that I have to measure is my own performance, and  it’s the most important part of the demo, considering that, not the design, is what will get me hired.  And so, on first listen, I thought it worked.  Then I listened to it again and I was sure it was terrible.  I choked and wavered and just sounded weird.

After a quick little panic attack I remembered that I’m not the best immediate judge of my own work.  There was a reason I had aimed to solicit thoughts from pros and friends alike.  They would check my blind spots and give me a reality check.  And they did – even if asking five people got me seven or eight different opinions – I got some solid criticism and a satisfactory number of thumbs-up.

Squishy-but-true: I got to play my demo for my mom.  When it was done she turned to me with an impish smile and said, “hey that was good!”  It was then I realized that my mom hadn’t really seen or heard me perform since high school, quite possibly earlier (I really can’t remember).  She helped me out with my Theatre degree, she’s helping me with VO classes and some of my tools at home… but she doesn’t actually know what I can do.  Well, now she has an idea.  Still.  My mom like my demo.  That feels awesome.

Yep, I’ve been sitting on it, letting myself get distracted.  I don’t have much to say for myself on that front.  Just…don’t tell my mom ok?  I’m getting a move on, I promise.

Have you ever been working long and hard and get to the point that you should change your clothes and wash up but don’t quite want to because the fresh air and scrubbing feel like they’ll bring on an invasion to the mojo you’ve put together? Sure, it’s childish, but you earned that grit why not just press on?

It’s kind of felt like that over the last month and change.  I didn’t quite notice August slip by without blog updates, though I had started the month quite gung-ho about getting this site rolling.  I even paid for my own URL and everything.  But…stuff happened, like it does and I forgot to get back around to this, no matter that this blog is specifically for documenting such …uh…stuff.  But as time kept sliding by without writing anything of substance in public I found myself even more reticent to make the time.

Hello World!

I like that coding sample. I don’t know much about coding but I know that, and I like it. This entry is mainly to test out the word editor. (And it’s already crashed on me once, inauspicious, WordPress, inauspicious.)  So behind the cut, I think goes more detail about me.  But I won’t toggle to full screen.  I’ve learned my lesson.
