This Forsake project featured not one, not two, but THREE In Both Ears talent. What made it even more special is that Megan Hensley and Jay Preston traveled to Oregon just for the outdoor recording session with Digital One. Lots of love to Whitney McMaster for closing the spot out perfectly.

Oregon Shakespeare Festival needs our help! We have to protect PNW staples like this one. Give if you can!

OSF is in crisis, and we are not alone. Across the industry, theatre attendance and donations are down, but as a destination theatre we have been hit even harder by the twin impacts of COVID and inflation.

The path to sustained success is clear, but impossible without your help. We have set an ambitious goal of raising $2.5 million over the next 4 months to save our season and help us continue producing world-class theatre.

Please give whatever you can afford to in order for us to reach this critical fundraising goal! OSF is a house that community built—and it will be you, our community, who ensures we endure.

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.

Over the past few months, we’ve been diving into IBE as a business and a brand — and getting clearer about who we are and where we are going. That has led us to make the decision to make the leap from spending our time here on Facebook and double down on having conversations over on LinkedIn. We hope you’ll join us there!

“ 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

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.

"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.
