I want you men to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country, he won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country. I am new to the professional end of speaking. I have announced football games & baseball games. I've MC'd events. I've given many verbal presentations in front of semi-large crowds. All my friends, some that are in the entertainment industry, have urged me to get into the business. I feel at ease on a mike or in front of a camera. attended Santa Monica Jr College where i played sports and acted in small scenes with the journalism teacher. Also, won a speech contest in which i taught the audience how to play blackjack properly. The speech was full of comedy and antics. attended Cal State Northridge where i studied acting and philosophy. We did voice projection drills, intros, inflection drills, etc. I attended a class in hollywood taught by Greg Cummins where we did many exercises with voice and facial expressions. We practiced tempo and rythem. We came to understand speaking is like music. if u don't like it, u change the station. Since I can remember, I was always a leader. In any of my endeavors, i was called upon to speak to people. i think this is where if get my natural ease in front of people. In business, I was usually called upon to speak at most functions. My family and I volunteer our time to different causes. I have coached basketball, soccer, baseball, and football for the past 12 yrs. with my sons. I don't know how pertinent this information is, but, i thought i'd throw it in there just the same.
