Can You Hear Me Now? (Updates)
Posted by TastyKeish | Filed under Blog, Uncategorized
I just updated my Voice123.com profile with something I’m very honored to have been a part of. My Rise Up Radio co- host and friend, M.C. K-swift asked me to do the intro to his latest album, The Proper Gander. M.C. K-swift, is an emcee, educator, radio host/producer. He is constantly creating thought provoking and moving rhymes without sacrificing your brain cells in the process. For me to be the first voice on his album, blows me away. Check it out:

Another voice over update: Remember the “Voice Overs in a box” post where they sent me a mic to do the project with?? Turns out that mic was an awful hot mess and all the actors had to redo hours and hours of their lines, including me. Hopefully the company learned something…you can’t skimp on product.

::Mid conversation::
me: “it’s been about 10- 15 years!”
Security Guard: “Congratulations!”
Guy holding the door for me: “Anniversary??”
me: “NOPE. I got just got my LIBRARY CARD!”
::End Scene::
When I was a kid and through to my teens, I used to read a lot. A few books never made it back to the library and then someone told me that they will come after you for the fees and I never went back to the library again. It’s funny what financial paranoia can do to you!!
In efforts to face my fear and having exhausted borrowing books from friends, I applied online for my New York Public Library Card and then I picked it up at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (also a NY public library) in Harlem!
All this talk about books led to me doing a “Conscious Conversations” with I ARE CONSCIOUS, where he has quick random chats with interesting people in the artist community. Check it out:

This last bit is a bonus and I think some rules to live by.
If you haven’t seen the “Read a Book” song on youtube, I highly encourage it.

Being PRESS at SXSW has been tough but CRAZY fun! We get to meet artists up close and personal, cut lines, and explore from the inside. The tough part is that we want to party but we’re up with the birds and are so pumped to get back to the hotel to upload all the days activities that we forget this isn’t NYC. You can’t just got out at 1am and stay out until morning. Short on time, I taped a lil youtube vid for you…
