I've always had this list in the back of my mind of some things I wanted to do if I ever had a chunk of free time to do them. Since it's not certain how long my "hiatus" will be, I decided to take a look at what's on that list.
One thing is watch my DVD collection more often. I've done a little of that, but I have actually spent more time straying beyond the favorite channels on my TV and seeing what's out there.
Another is learning to play the mandolin. Checking out the price of mandolins, that's not very cost-effective for me right now. I do wonder if I should learn to play guitar first. Some of those are cheaper. Although, when I've been at the songwriter get-togethers, I couldn't even grasp some of those big guitars they've had there. I'll keep that one on the list.
People have been at me for years about my speaking voice (you don't want to hear me sing...really) and encouraging me to do radio or voiceover work. Someone pointed me in the direction of a good voiceover studio in Nashville. I gave them a call and the cost for doing a demo was pretty reasonable. I did have a demo done last year or so that my friend produced for me, but this time I'm looking for a bit more variety and types of copy that I'm interested in doing. I located a collection of royalty free copy and bought it. I'll look it over and see what works for me. So, maybe this one will move up to top of the list. My fantasy would be to do this and get one job that would pay back the cost. If nothing else, it should be fun.
