Voice-Over workshop

Hi former KSULers:

Tim Keenan here -- I was part of the KSUL family from 1973 - 1975 (we call it the Mike Stark "early years"). These days I run an O.C. based audio production company, Creative Media Recording. For those of you interested in voice-over, I've been co-conducting a VO workshop at our studio part time for about 5 years -- with voice artist and KRTH radio person Sylvia Aimerito. We're gearing up for another workshop in a few weeks and thought you might like to check it out (shamelss plug).

Kick off 2006 with a jump start to your voice-over career.

Sylvia Aimerito & Tim Keenan are ready for yet another of our occassional voice-over workshops at Creative Media Recording. We’ve had a lot of success with our past workshops and we’ve been gathering more v.o. copy as well as articles to share for our next class. The dates are set for Wednesday evenings, 6:30pm to 9:30pm for FOUR weeks in a row – March 1st thru the 22nd - 2006.

If you're interested give us a call at 714/892-9469.

We hope this new schedule works with yours and you’ll consider joining us at this next voice-over class.

.....Back from the Dead...

Hi ! my name is Bill and I like long walks on the beach, a nice fire....oops wrong letter. I have to say I was quite taken by the website and the plethora of information conveyed with regard to former KSUL personalities and staff members. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and discovering all the tid-bits of black-mail fodder and will be sending out notices shortly as to what might be owed to keep me quiet.

There continue to be many, many times when I reflect back on the wonderful times experienced with so many great people during my stint with KSUL. I do believe I met and shared times with some of the most creative individuals I have been fortunate enough to have met, self included of course. And then as I clicked to find "where are they now?" I discover, holy crap, most of them are still in Southern California. Well then so am I, and I am resurfacing with a new .wife and live in the Wrigley area of Long Beach. Regretfully, I am employed due to financial commitments as opposed to financial independence and direct a customer service department within the logistics industry. (I always knew I would be a director).

In closing I am sincerely and honestly impressed with the family spirit that so many individuals have maintained and the efforts put forth by Mike Stark, Pat Barr and Paul Sakisron to name a few. I would be most honored and humbled to be welcomed back into the active membership of ex KSUL vets and your friendship.

Back to the campus....

Tom Mullins and I spent an hour or so today with Craig Smith, the current chairman of the Film and Electronic Arts Department (formerly Radio/TV/Film) at CSULB. We wanted to discuss the possibilities of bringing back radio to the FEA curriculum. It turned out it didn't require much selling of the idea. He admittedly does not come from a radio background but feels with the growth of Internet streaming, podcasting and satellite radio, that "broadcasting" is probably a more important discipline than it was when it faded away from the campus after the demise of KSUL. After only a few minutes into the meeting he asked for our help in taking the first steps -- to bring back some "core" radio classes. He would like to schedule those classes to start in the fall of this year.

I think we were sucessful in conveying to Mr. Smith that not only do we need a commitment to a radio curriculum, but that it will ultimately require a working "lab" to make the program work.

In the next few months we're going to be working, with the help of other radio alumni, to develop a plan to help provide support for, what could be, a real rebirth of student radio at CSULB. We'll keep you updated and, hopefully, we can count on your help in this effort.
