My first encounter with her was
through her blog: ‘Do you practice “Service”?’
The title intrigued me because of the honest question it asks of the reader.
And the rest of what she writes really resonated with me as a Voice-Over colleague. So I was eager to raise my virtual pom-poms and give her a genuine Debby Barnes Voice-Over Rah-Rah! after
I finished her article.
Melanie says: “ There seems to be so much more of a
crossover between personal and professional development which makes perfect
sense. The two are connected in that who you are in your personal life must affect
your professional life…” True enough. Where our professional lives are
concerned, it’s understandable that we aim to function in a service orientated
way. By prioritizing service, we're doing our utmost for another’s highest good and that's what it’s all about. I actually consider this to be real servant spirited service. (And most of us have already been raised to think and act like this in our personal lives as well.)
I really appreciated what she
shared about the way in which she’s evolving and being strengthened recently,
not to mention what she’s been able to put into practice. She’s been having “Some new thoughts which are helping to
solidify the idea of service and helping to create more courage and confidence
in auditioning, especially, …thinking in terms of “How can I serve the
script?”…”. She goes on to ask a few more meaningful questions that we
should be asking ourselves before every audition. I loved her thoughts about
what it all becomes. This stayed with me.
Double Rah-Rah! Melanie.
