In seven years of blogging only to the community of voice actors, specifically on the subject of voice acting, I've educated myself and others on the challenges of being a freelance voice artist. My first diplomatic answer to my caller is: being a success in voice acting requires more than just a voice. I've had to gingerly explain the real secret to voiceover success so often that it became clear: somebody needed to tell the truth about being a voice-actor. It's hard work! It's a business and should be approached as a business.

Dharma is our gradual awakening to the truth and the recognition of our unique path. Dharma is not something I chose; it chose me. These are some of my insights over 25 years of intensive study, practice, and teaching of yoga. Much of it centers on hatha yoga (postures and breath work) because that is the main practice in the West. Like other branches of yoga, it is a training of mind and heart so that we experience life with grace and equanimity. Insight arises from continual observation of the mind (citta).

Blue Knight's confidence was building. He proved himself against major adversaries The Artiste and Ivan in Chicago and Kadar in New York City. There were some bumps along the way but they added to what the new superhero needed to know. Interference with activities of the petty crime elements was easy. However, there was an additional lesson, one not anticipated. Further, the related experience took place at a most unexpected time and location ... during a vacation in paradise ... Hawaii! Roger/Blue knight had no one to blame but himself for what happened. He caused the incident. The source of his vulnerability was his lack of realization that the very powers that rendered Blue Knight a superhero could trigger dangerous unforeseen situations. It was an important and necessary experience, but it greatly altered his time on the Big Island. Most important was how the matter was handled and in the end, its resolution. Roger/Blue Knight never turned away from a challenge and he behaved no differently during his sojourn to an island known for its tropical splendor and ... LAVA!

The importance of Blue Knight's secret alternate identity relationship to Roger was clear. While Blue Knight\Roger never forgot this, they did not dwell on it. The connection had not been a problem and they had much else to occupy them. Furthermore, Blue Knight was fully protected by his plastinium armor, and they had been successful in hiding any link to Roger. Any effort to discover an alternate identity for Blue Knight would require careful study and significant guesswork. In the end, there could be no definite conclusion to justify an action. That might be viewed differently depending on the potential rewards. Tony Paisano was eager to restore the glory days of Al Capone in Chicago. He was convinced of the calling because he believed he was a descendant in the lineage of Capone. Tony was committed to the drastic actions that would be necessary. It was a course certain to present a confrontation with Blue Knight. Tony made every effort to be ready ... even to the extent of finding a way to bring the knight down.
