The Voice of Laura Chase

Just doin’ my job!

My daughter is exhausted from a slew of weekend activity!  Friday- her first Prom, Saturday- photographer at Busch Gardens’ concerts, and Sunday-church photographer for Mother’s Day portraits.   All in all, she took over 550 pictures, and that means she has several hours of editing and posting ahead of her this week.  Ooof!  That’s alot of [...]

People always ask me if my daughter is going to stay in the same line of work that I do.     A parent would like to think so!   However…  All I have to do is tell them what happened when Hosanna was about 4 years old.  I brought her to work with me and she was really intrigued by [...]

1000 miles and Snickers too!

I have the privilege of documenting and sharing about the trip of a 26 year old Sarasota man who is cycling 1000 miles from Atlanta to Sarasota, from April 15th through May 1st.    JW Frye (I call him Frye on the Fly, or the Sarasota Road Warrior) is the young man that has a huge goal of [...]

Parallel parking predicaments?

What is the ONE thing we dread when taking our driver’s test?    The top answer in any poll is “Parallel Parking!”  When I was practicing for my driver’s test, my parents played it safe.  They put me out in the horse pasture with 2 barrels and “Old Blue” our beat up, 1 ton, old, [...]

Easter Yumminess…

I LOVE EASTER!!! I love Easter for many reasons;  the celebration of our Lord Jesus being Ressurrected to Life, the dawn of spring and new life upon our barren earth, having more light in the evening so we can play outside longer, and…Easter Candy!   You see, by this time of year, we are several months removed from [...]

Fishin’ at the Ritz?

I just finished recording some voice work for the Ritz Carlton.  MMMmmmm, I LOVE even the THOUGHT of being pampered.   As I was voicing the spots, I was visualizing myself all wrapped up in their overstuffed white duvets covers and robes,  sitting in their uber-comfy and deliciously styled living rooms, and feasting on foods that only [...]

16th birthday party ends with mom in the ER!

Ok, the two having nothing in common, except that after my daughter’s sweet 16 birthday and slumber party for 21 teen girls ended, I collapsed on the bathroom floor writhing in pain!  My hubby rushed to my side and held my head in his lap for what seemed like forever.  I then slowly crawled out of the bathroom, down the [...]

You can’t just pick one!

Funny thing happened when we went to Sams Club today!        My daughter took the keys and decided it was time to drive into the big city and go shopping with me  (of course it does help when your going there to design a birthday cake for her sweet 16 party)!   We drove into the parking lot, and she decides she [...]

DO IT AFRAID

Masters of the Microphone in Atlanta this past weekend was fantastic!  http://www.greatvoice.com/!     I learned so many useful marketing techniques for Voice Over, was part of a Marketing Mastermind panel, and even tested out some fantastic gear in an on-stage mic shoot-out!  I also had several “A-ha” moments during the weekend!  1. NEVER overlook anyone!  I made a great connection [...]

My first gray hair…

My highschool teacher, Mr. Ken, was the one to break the shocking news to me!  I was 14 and seated at my desk  when Mr. Ken stood over me and announced to the world that I had a shiny silver gray hair on the crown of my head.  WHAT?  I did NOT believe him!  He then proceeded [...]
