No, I'm not talking about the sun and the lake and the golf and the pool and the vacations and the summer attitude.  Although I must admit I certainly do love all that! I'm talking about the end of the fiscal year for a lot of ... http://www.danhurst.com/blog/archives/35 Most people have been asked how they got started in their careers.  I get that question a lot.  People seem to be fascinated by the Voiceover business.

But here's where it gets intense.  One of the things I pride myself on is fast ... http://www.danhurst.com/blog/archives/21 It's Memorial Day.
