It is with great sadness that we post about the passing of beloved Oregon voice talent, Bill Barrett.

Bill was on the IBE roster from the beginning until very recently and he was always a joy to work with. This man was one of a kind and one of the most humble people you would ever meet. From his multiple decades as a radio personality, to his time as the voice of Shark/Ninja infomercials, to his hundreds of characters he could switch in and out of at lighting speed. Bill lived and breathed voice over and we loved him for it. We fondly remember him calling the office as his different characters. He sure kept it interesting.

Sending all the love to his family right now.

“ What kind of work feeds you? Sometimes it goes missing. That’s OK. You can take a step towards it today.

One of my favorite rules of thumb is “more often than not.” �
Do the work more often than not.
Exercise more often than not.
Eat healthy more often than not.
Continue more often than not.
Care more often than not.

Choose “more often” over “not” and see what adds up over time. “ — Kara Cutruzzula, Brass Ring Daily Newsletter

Erasers are wonderful - The Oatmeal

A fun reminder that the eraser is part of the creative process - an important thing not to forget! (🛑A heads up that there is a little mature language in this one, if you are sensitive to that 🛑)

An eraser is not a highlighter of mistakes. An eraser is a tool.

Planned Progress

"You have two choices. You can wait for the next opportunity to present itself, or you can purposely plan for the progress you want to make. There is no such thing as accidental momentum."

If you're going to build the business you want, then you must be intentional about how you're going to do it. There is no such thing as accidental progress.
