Roy's August update

Hi -- This big group email comes out once every month or so. Would you please use this link below to subscribe to these?

http://exitspeed.net feature film with Fred Ward and Lea Thompson opens August 26th in Dallas. I'll be there, wearing more than underwear. I'm seeking theatrical representation, but not as much as I'm seeking bookings.
http://kcrw.org you can hear me on about a dozen different 30 second promo spots on 89.9 in Los Angeles
http://voxusa.net/ is my new voice over agent
http://vowol.com, my mainly Thursday night Voice Over work out lounge, has been more fun than work and more work than fun at any given time.
http://midnightmovie.com my friend Jack & Kacy's feature, has me voicing the killer.
http://scriptwrights.com the Monday night writer's group where I'm an actor, is getting some wonderful producer attention
A few highlights from this year so far:
I've landed and taken off on an aircraft carrier; been to Philippines; travelled 4 times to Japan (5th trip comes up next month), and going to Thailand. There are a few more stories like these I'd love to share.
Most recently and importantly, a unique request: requiring a 4 minute scribble, a postcard, and a 27 cent stamp (or other "make a kid happy" type of mail):
My friend's mom knows the grandmother of Devin, who now has one arm after an alligator attack. (link below). The boy's mom gave him a world map and puts a push pin in all the places that the messages come from. I sent a VOWOL postcard saying "Hope this makes the board!" -- it DID! -- and I hear it brightened his day. If you would like to feel the same way and can spare a fun postcard:
Devin Funck
327 Tumblebrook St.
Slidell, Louisiana

Roy Samuelson January update

Hi!

So the lie was going to Paris (it's tokyo tower in the photo)


Keeping it brief and promotion-filled this month:

Starting in February, I'm leading some coaching
http://abundanceboundbootcamp.com

VO directing is making me really really happy. Plus I voiced a creepy scary ADR killer.
and most Thursdays...

Through the end of January, we have a $50 discount for this 2 day intensive with Commercial coach Bill Holmes and the voice of Porky Pig, Bob Bergen.

Most times between midnight and 4am, still designing websites (and looking to pass some web work on)

A portion of the day on Tues 15th, my friend's heart is stopping. Really.
