Most of your voice over sessions will go smoothly. Your clients will be pleasant, friendly and easy to deal with. But every once in a while you'll get a cranky client, someone who's extremely picky and hard to please. The client sounds impatient and cold. You do take...

I can't remember the last time I ate at McDonald's. I admit it. I am a food snob. And frankly, I would rather go hungry than bite into a Big Mac. In my kitchen you will find a collection of fine imported olive oils, a bottle of pomegranate molasses and artisan breads...
