LadyBarbossa Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Squee!!! I'm so thrilled! Finally! After 14 months of being unemployed and seeking anything I can do for a decent wage (and not be used or shyte upon)... I got the phone call this afternoon and was officially offered the job! I'll be a part-time on air announcer for KCII, a radio station in Washington, Iowa! Though part time, it's a great start! I'm thrilled beyond measure! After I got off the phone, I screamed and cheered, danced and jumped about and cried! I still can't believe it. I finally took seriously the suggestions from many - when I worked at the IMAX in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (when it was still open) - that I should get into Radio. The opportunity arose, I applied last week, went through two interviews and a test recording. This afternoon I got the official word & accepted the job! Again, I'm utterly thrilled beyond measure. Perhaps once I get use to the radio announcing bit, shal get into voice overs! Anyone know of any voice over people that they can pass on a demo or two to? Susan Blu? David Kaye? Frank Welker? Hehehe ::Big, charming grin::: ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Sjöröveren Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 This is great news! I can totally empathize, being unemployed myself. And you do have a great radio voice! Working at a radio station in Iowa seems to have a good place to start for Ronald Reagan, so who knows? The sky's the limit! the Fool's Gold Pirates
Rumba Rue Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 WHOO HOO!!! WAY TO GO GIRLFRIEND!!! I am so happy for you!
LadyBarbossa Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 :::Blushes::: thanks, pubmates. Yes, it's incredibly thrilling news. :::Dances around with Syren::: SQUEE!!!!! So exciting! Why thank ye, Sea Rover. :) I shall do my best to live up to this new standard now. Hehehe. Reagan? Really. Wow. I know David Kaye got his start in radio... and now look where he is... I'm sure every one of you has heard his voice. If you say you haven't... then you don't have a TV, radio and computer. Seriously, you've ALL heard his voice somewhere. SQUEE!!! ::Dancing around some more::: Oh, this is great. :) Again, thank ye all. :::Gives everyone a hug::: ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

SQUEE!!! ::Dancing around some more::: Oh, this is great. :) Again, thank ye all. :::Gives everyone a hug::: ~Lady B One of Reagan's first real jobs was recreating baseball games (Cubs or Cardinals - not sure which) on WHO. He had a ticker tape description of the action of the game, a few minutes after it happened. He'd make up color commentary like he was in the ballpark, providing sound effects like crowd noise and batting balls. So I guess he was a sort of reenactor! As for David Kaye, I'll take your word for it that I've heard his voice, but I don't know who he is, which usually means that he is much younger than me. I see magazines at the grocery store checkout, with headlines about people's relationships going to hell, and I have absolutely no idea who these people are!! And I don't care either! the Fool's Gold Pirates

LadyBarbossa Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 There is live feed via the internet on their website. KCII radio Washington Iowa I will know this week my schedule and will let the lot of ye know when I'll be on the airwaves. :) Alas, not so much the personality bit, as it's more announcing, but heck, it's a start, mates. Ye never know... I can branch out into other things, too. Perhaps be a personality on the radio later on. But voice over work would be loverly. Psst! Iron Bess... if ye know Susan Blu... :::Winks::: tell her you know someone who's looking to get into the Biz. Again, thanks mates. Will keep you updated. BTW, here's the gent I mentioned, David Kaye: I look dorky in this pic 'cause he pretty much had me in stitches doing an improptu "awards ceremony" bit just as a friend of mine was taking the picture while at a Transformers Convention back in 2003. He's awesome and I WILL get him back for this picture, too. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."
