Image
CBD and marijuana and similar but not the same! Some research is being done and has been done to see what CBD can treat with less harmful side effects. The population is looking for alternative medicine to help with a mirad of diseases. It is all over the news and social media. And now Canada has legalized recreational marijuana: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/20/health/canada-legalizes-marijuana/index.html If you're thinking about growing, or buying you can start here: https://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growing-Bundle-Manuscripts-Learn/dp/B07DKQSVK4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530021466&sr=8-1&keywords=tom+berfelo https://www.audible.com/pd/Science-Technology/Marijuana-Audiobook/B07DKX82GP?qid=1530018120&sr=sr_1_90&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_2_40&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=1FNJHVA6J6K8VSBG87VZ&

Have you ever heard of P.O.T.S...?

If you've read my previous post about learning when doing voice over. This is a great example. Have you ever heard of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome..?  Yea me neither. But I learned alot about it narrating the authors biography. Apparently it affects more people than you might think and it's very debilitating. But thankfully more awarness is being brought to this disease through books, TV and of course social media. https://derekcevans.com/ https://www.audible.com/pd/Bios-Memoirs/So-Close-to-Death-Yet-So-Far-Away-Audiobook/B076Y3C6MH?qid=1530018120&sr=sr_1_93&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_2_43&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=1FNJHVA6J6K8VSBG87VZ&

Beginners Guide to CBD Hemp Oil

Image
Before narrating this book. I didn't know much about CBD or hemp. I've heard about it, but never knew what it was or how it was beneficial. I DO have an interest in alternative medicine. So I was interested in learning more about CBD oil. The past month I auditioned for several audiobooks about the subject and I got awarded the jobs:-) So this is the first of many books I narrated about CBD oil/hemp oil and it's benefits. If you're interested check it out and please leave a review. https://www.audible.com/pd/Self-Development/Beginners-Guide-to-CBD-Hemp-Oil-Audiobook/B07DWG598T?qid=1529928131&sr=sr_1_88&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_2_38&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=8EJAQ820SQRA77333S5V&

You can learn ALOT from doing voice over

Besides the ins and outs of the voice over business. There is a lot to learn from doing voice over. Pitch, tone of voice, and of course you can learn from the script itself. Like I found out from this top 10 list on youtube I did a few months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYWti0d3jNE&t=72s

Diabetic or Prediabetic? (Part 2)

Hopefully, if you are reading this. You already read my first post about my health status. I had my blood tested earlier today and my fasting glucose was down 24 points!! Okay technically not points as glucose is measured in mg/dl. But still, from 112 to 88 in 3 months time... is great! I just have to keep up what I'm doing and maybe it'll go down below 80. These books really did help! https://www.audible.com/pd/Health-Fitness/Lower-Your-Blood-Sugar-Audiobook/B01EYSKWC4?ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_7&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=M0VFYSHNPTFF0AMS0GHD& https://www.audible.com/pd/Health-Fitness/DASH-Diet-Audiobook/B01M3OBU6P?ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_5&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=M0VFYSHNPTFF0AMS0GHD& https://www.audible.com/pd/Self-Development/Get-Healthy-Now-Audiobook/B07665RT3Q?ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_4&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=M0VFYSHNPTFF0AMS0GHD&

DIY vocal booth

If you're like me you like to save money. And if you're thinking about doing voice overs. You are going to need a vocal booth. Now if you google vocal booths, you will see that they can be very expensive and bulky. There are numerous was to make your own vocal booth. You can convert a small room, or closet space. When I started out I made my own out of PVC and blankets. Great for keeping sound in. Not so great for keeping sound out. Sounds like the AC/heating unit or the neighbors cutting there grass. But for the most part it served it's purpose. And it only cost me $150. Mind you I only had to buy 1 tool (PVC cutter), 2 extra comforters (flea market price), and PVC (on sale). Check out how I made it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kMAKfIYn0s

Are you diabetic or prediabetic?

A couple of months ago, I had my blood drawn for testing. My fasting blood glucose was in the prediabetic realm. Well that scared me enough to change my diet. I get my blood drawn again Wed(6/20). Hopefully it will be better than the last time. If I lost 27 lbs for nothing. I'm going to be upset!  Thankfully, I read a few books and narrated one of them. So I had an idea of what to do.  https://www.audible.com/pd/Health-Fitness/Lower-Your-Blood-Sugar-Audiobook/B01EYSKWC4?ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_23&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=KR9TC4VHVSYTJWXFWJPT& https://www.amazon.com/Lower-Your-Blood-Sugar-Prediabetes-ebook/dp/B01BA144LI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1529333917&sr=1-1&keywords=Lower+Your+Blood+Sugar+robin+forest
