People have always been warned about the voices in their heads but nobody said what to do if they came out. Thomas Edison was one of the first pioneers to find a place for these voices when he made one of the first recording devices. Nowadays anywhere there is an audio recording device you just might find one of these voices.

Okay so the first few lines are just semi-B.S. but there is some truth to the content. Ever since the first audio recording was made people really started to experiment with their own voice and soon their sounds as well as their speech was turned into a form of entertainment we call Voice-Acting.

In this It’s Your Break Exclusive Interview we find out little about the world of Voice-Acting and our guest James Arnold Taylor the voice of Obi-Won Kenobi, Fred Flintstone and Johnny Test just to name a few.

Breaking the ice can be tough when it’s below zero in the room. Zero talk, zero action, zero anything; this is the essence of a very dull party or gathering.

To get more on this tip read this related article “Did you hear what she said she would rather do”.

The classic Bond Martini is always shaken not stirred. Bond always knew what to do in when it came to his drink, but what about you. How well do you know how to make drinks? And you do know the difference between whiskey and bourbon?  Well, some things are good to know but you don’t have to always know everything.

If you are looking to impress your guests at your party make them a drink that is not common. The key to choosing an uncommon drink is to get ideas from the common. What do I mean by get ideas from the common drinks? Well, if your guests are use to having strawberry margaritas then make sure you replace it with other sweet fruity drinks.

You may be asking “how do I get or find recipes for mixed drinks”?  Well, you do research online, in cook books or in a library.  Believe it or not the library is still a very useful tool. You can go and check out many different books on mixed drinks and cocktails. Once you find a book you like you can always go to places online like Amazon.com to purchase it so that you always have a reference. 

Here is a great recipe I found out of Bartending For Dummies:

Trip to the Beach
1/2 oz. Malibu
1/2 oz. Peach Schnapps
1/2 oz. Smirnoff Vodka
3 oz. Orange Juice
Combine over ice in a glass.

View this video to see another similar recipe. I found this on youtube

Did you hear what she said she would rather do?  She said; she would rather, only be able to spend a total of three months a year with Jim than be handcuffed together for life with him.

This is the type of questions that really gets parties and social gatherings moving! At first glance you might think the couple just had a spat. In reality, they are playing a game called “Would You Rather…”. This is one of the many games you can use to get a stale party talking. The key into making these games work is making sure you have someone on the inside. Always invite a wingman or winggirl to the party. Your wingperson will be your backup if the party starts to seem dull.  Once you notice the party starting to quiet down you and your correspondent will start setting up one of many shocking and challenging games. Coordinating this is the hard part, especially if you have people afraid to make a leap into the eye of attention. This can quickly be overcome if instead of having one wing person you have 3 or more. Most games call for at least 4 people if not more. So having enough setup people is the key. Once you have all of your players in place make sure you are loud when playing. Once people hear or see what is going on, their focus will be on the game. The fun and laughter will be contagious and people will be talking about what was said and happened.

Make sure the games you pick are suitable for the gathering you are having. You do not want to have a racy game around a lot of children or people who might take offense at the content. Do your research on your guests so that you know what to approach them with

Having a young child I know that spending time with your child is important. But it’s sad to say in this tough system of things some parents don’t get a chance to spend any time with their children as they struggle just to make it. Those of us that can spend time, really need to spend time with our children and tell them how much they mean to us. The seeds we plant today will sprout later and we will not know which of these seeds will mature. We need to show our children how to get around tough times and how to care for themselves. Most importantly we need to show them compassion for others. I know some people support welfare and some do not. But giving people the means to get by is the most important thing anyone can do for someone else. Now this does not mean you should always give or just give to the first person or charity your see. No. Do your research and find something you can do to help even if it’s just advice. I know that each of us probably know some who is struggling; so what prevents us from helping?

During the recent oil leak in the gulf many people are canceling their vacations to gulf coasts in a lot of the states. I know the beach is a huge draw to why people come to the gulf coast but some of the cities and their festivals are what make it worth wild. If you have already planned your vacation to a gulf coast city don’t cancel your vacation to that city. Why you might ask? Well this is a time to negotiate your stay with your hotel and not only that these cities are going to fight for your business, so you will get deals like never before. The key is not to cancel your vacation it is to make the most of it and getting more than your money’s worth. Make sure you look up local events and attractions before you go and try to negotiate prices to these event and attractions. As I said before these business are going to fight for your money. So go on your vacation and have fun, even hire a local photographer to take pictures of you at landmarks around that area. There is more stuff to do in the gulf coast then going to the beach.

I will probably get into trouble for telling this story but oh well. Have you ever had one of those moments that you wished that nobody was looking?  Well what if the store’s security cameras caught you… how would you feel? Well that depends on what it was right? Right!

One day while shopping at Walmart my wife was worried about our son walking off but I had him by my side. She kept constantly watching our son and me instead of watching out for the column that she just ran into. As she hit the column she almost flipped into the cart. As this was happening the loud crash got the attention of a gray haired man down the row. His expression was a shocked concerned look. I, myself lost it and busted out laughing and so did my wife. Once the gray haired man saw my wife laughing he joined in.  After that we wondered how many times the people in the security department watched that crash over and over.

So what about you; what have you done that you wished nobody saw?

In this day and age everybody is looking for love except for this Mortician now turned Author Elizabeth Fournier. We enlisted her help on finding the one; hear what she said she did to find the one on this episode of It’s Your Break.
