Hi,
I'm new to voice acting, so most of what I'm doing right now is reading, learning, trying, and playing. I apologize in advance for all the questions I'm likely to ask.
The bulk of my background in sound revolves around field recording, which involves a lot of not making my own sounds while the recorder is running. Speaking into a microphone still feels alien and wrong (but fun!) As part of that I build most of my own microphones, though most are tailored specifically for field recording rather than voice. As odd as that sounds it does make a difference.
I have been reading aloud to my kids every night for the last eighteen years. This is what actually sparked my interest in voice acting. My eldest is leaving for college in the next few months, so the only way I can continue to read to them all is to begin recording my sessions. CB Droege's post in the "What were the reasons you started voice acting?" thread really resonated with me in that regard. Rather than cassettes in the mail, it'll be WAV files in email.
Plus, I'd like to improve. I've enjoyed doing voices since I was a kid, watching Bugs Bunny cartoons and marveling at the range of voices Mel Blanc could produce. I know I'll never reach his level, but I want to get better.
Thanks for having me.

Welcome! Questions are a good thing, so no need to apologize for them. =) You're already ahead of the game in at least one regard; you know how *not* to fiddle with the microphone cord, rustle papers or clothing, or have loud bling on while recording your lines. =) Hope you have a great time here!
