Moving on to more important matters than the total realignment of the United States of America…
Above, we see two great cartoon voice actors. Gary Owens was the voice of Space Ghost and Roger Ramjet. Janet Waldo was the voice of Judy Jetson and Penelope Pitstop.
I get a lot of e-mails here asking me how one can get a career doing voices for cartoons. I send those folks to pages I have here like this one but tomorrow, they have a chance to get even better advice. Tomorrow afternoon, Stu Shostak is devoting his Internet radio program, Stu's Show, to the topic. I will be a guest. My pal, writer-actor Earl Kress will be a guest. Gary Owens and Janet Waldo will be guests. And as a last minute bonus, actor-producer Frank Buxton will be a guest. Frank was the voice of Batfink, among many other roles.
Stu is devoting all his broadcasts this month to animation (next week is Jerry Beck) and they're really good shows. I expect tomorrow will be exceptional, not because of me but because he has three smart, successful performers there to talk candidly about their line of work. I get a lot of messages thanking me for turning people on to Stu's Show.
This is not, please note, a podcast. You can't download it and listen to it whenever you want. You have to "tune in" when it's on…which in this case is from 4 PM to 6 PM Pacific Time, 7 PM to 9 PM Eastern. Stu's Show is done live on Wednesday and that's the best time to listen because, among other reasons, you can call in and ask questions. You can hear the show on your own computer by going to the website of Shokus Internet Radio at the appointed hour and clicking where you're told to click. (The show reruns on other days, usually in the same time slot. Check out the site for a full schedule…and while you're there, take note of some of the other fine, free programming.) End of plug.
