Rick Riley - The VOICE of the Minnesota Vikings - Joins Love That Voiceover! part 1 of 2 Rick Riley, VO artist & storyteller, is a former radio personality with almost 30 yrs behind the mic, with 16 yrs doing a drive time show in Miami. Swept out of Clear Channel, he searched for his roots and found VO. He is the VOICE of the Minnesota Vikings and a feature voice for NFL films. And More... Audio was his LIFE, but Rick Riley didn't want to do voiceover after a very successful Miami 30 yr drive-time radio show. However, Clear Channel shut that down, so he had to move on. Rick tried to do a syndicated show, but it didn't take off as he wanted. He decided, with outside encouragement, to step into voiceover, trying “pay to play” as a first step. Guess what? He didn't like how he sounded doing commercials! He felt really green compared to national talent, but didn't know why.  He got coaching from Nancy Wolfson, learned a TON about script interpretation… pretty soon he got an agent, started booking jobs… Once he was more confident of his own ability… the dominoes fell! He's a natural storyteller.. And has learned how commercials have changed: Selling the product “ain't” selling the product! Now with the Minnesota Vikings production company, they've won 3 Emmy's and both he and the producers acknowledge what the other does. Help your clients feel like each of them is No. 1! Treat your clients so they provide you the foundation for success! Become an Epic Storyteller like Rick!

WOODY ALLEN, ANTZ & ED HOOKS - MATCHING PIXELS TO THE HEART! MEET ED HOOKS, INVENTOR OF ACTING FOR ANIMATORS! My acting teacher from San Francisco Ed Hooks got dragged in by another acting student to do acting teaching to animators back in 1996  for a “small” animated movie called ANTZ starring Woody Allen … ANTZ was only the SECOND computer animated full-length movie made in the US! (Toy Story being the first.  So he tried to teach introverted animators about acting via script work and performance, which totally bombed. Luckily Ed modified his efforts, learned about animation work in order to teach animators, especially when working in computer animation and the 24 frames per second “moment” ; and then he wrote a book about it.  Back in 1996 NO ONE wanted to publish his new book ‘Acting for Animators' because they didn't think there was an audience. He was just ahead of his time. It didn't get published until 2001. Ed also has great insights to the VO production and casting handled for animation projects. Some tidbits are: VO Sessions for animation projects… Contacting animation companies – who are not accustomed to actors!  Ed Hooks is a theatre professional for 30 years, and has pioneered acting training specifically for animators.
