"Where Can I See Geoff Edwards Acting?"

If you came here to see what shows I might have been in, here's a list of recent appearances, since signing with Jenny Clough: In Listen Out For Love with Stephanie Bennet, Mark Ghanimé and Lynn Whyte I played Barry. It's on the Hallmark channel. I was in Grilling Season, The Curious Caterer, with Nikki Deloach, Andrew W. Walker and Jaycie Dotin which is on StackTV via Amazon Prime. I played a Lawyer named Preston Pittman. I appeared briefly, in a season three episode of the Sci Fi series Upload, on Prime as Vern. There are two made for TV Movies in which I played principle roles this past Summer. I expect they will release in '24. I will update you here. Here’s to a fabulous 2024, thanks for your interest.

Tangible Handmade

I have been involved in the creation of entertainment media for many years. I love it. My hobby is woodworking. I have kept some items that were handmade by me over the years; I like to wander hardware departments and stores that sell wood. Media is all around us but you can’t touch it like you can handmade usable things. Recently, I came across a batch of live edge planed walnut lumber. So I made a small table top to replace one that I built years ago for my studio. It turned out alright! Even if I do say so myself. Then, I made a bridge for my monitors to get them a little higher at my stand-up desk. I didn't like looking down on my video editor time-lines and I was getting a stiff neck. One day I noticed the pile of live-edge walnut was selling off… Fast forward: A purchase was made, there was cutting and sanding, tung oil was applied and voila! And that stiff neck is fading.

Some Light in the Dark Season

I have seen these lights for the seasonally affected among us sold at pharmacies. I think my studio light works like that. A sleep mode in a health app on my phone suggested that for a better sleep, to expose myself to bright daylight shortly after getting up. Fall/Winter north of the forty-ninth lacks bright morning sunlight; when your home is on the shady side of the hills in a rain forest. My morning routine now includes at least 20 minutes under this light. Not sure if it feels good because it's something new or if there's something to it. I am not conducting science here... but I will continue to shine a light on this question! 😉

Love my studio light. It’s the Aputure 120DII

#Actor #Acting

Gratitude

Since junior high school I have aimed at an acting career. There have been years/decades where other important priorities detoured me. I enjoyed a diverse media career with years of national radio and TV work, owning audio and video production businesses and of course voice acting. Now in my sixties I am a union actor regularly auditioning and building a film and TV acting resume. There were films before but I recently marked the fourth film or television series in which I have acted since signing with the best, most attentive and enthusiastic agent of my career. As always I'm grateful to my wife for her encouragement and support. Gratitude is also due Jenny Clough and her team at Spotlight Talent. 

Never give up on your dreams.

Artificial Intelligence & The Voice Actor

For fun I asked Chatbot AI to create a description of me, here's what it came up with:

“Geoff Edwards is a versatile and talented voice actor from Canada. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, he has lent his voice to a wide range of projects, from commercials and corporate videos, to network television, animation and documentaries.

One of the first things that stands out about Edwards' voice is its richness and warmth. He has a natural, deep tone that commands attention and conveys a sense of authority and relateability 

In addition to his authoritative sound, Edwards is also adept at bringing a sense of personality and character to his voice acting work.

Another strength of Geoff Edwards' voice acting is his ability to bring emotion and nuance to his performances. He can convey subtle shades of meaning and emotion through his vocal inflections, allowing him to create compelling and believable characters that feel real and relatable to audiences.

In addition to his voice acting work, Edwards is also skilled in video production and editing, copywriting and script editing. This means that he is able to bring a unique perspective to his voiceover work, helping to create scripts that are tailored to the needs of projects and the clients.

Overall, Geoff Edwards is a top-tier Canadian voice actor who brings a wealth of talent and experience to his work. Whether he's voicing corporate videos or animated characters, his warm, authoritative, and versatile voice is sure to make an impression on audiences.”

I did edit it for certain inaccuracies or over-embellishments but that is pretty damn fun! 😎

Change Of Scenery

I've taken a break, I have barely posted anything to Twitter in a week, I haven't auditioned in weeks. I'm sipping coffee watching waves roll in from the Pacific Ocean. I'm poolside, reading Jann S. Wenner's memoir about Rolling Stone magazine's iconic place in North American culture. I like it. It's inspiring.

I think about what I'm doing out there, am I touching the right points? Am I advancing my acting and voice acting career. I think about streamworks.ca my story telling service and content production partner business. I think about you my Changes Blog reader. I love the "down" time; maybe it's the change of scenery…

Creative Third Thursdays

In my hometown I have been a longtime member of a group that works to enhance opportunities for success in our creative community. We are called the Chilliwack Creative Commission. We meet several times a year and our official mandate is to attract and facilitate economic growth in the emerging creative sector, including film, interactive and digital media. I am the current chair of the group's Creative Third Thursdays committee. We started this monthly meetup to get creative people in the same room with others and to see what conversations or collaborations result. We are fortunate in that the other committee member is a long time friend of mine. He owns Studio C, a video content creation and live streaming studio. Together, we produce a monthly episode about a local creative, or someone relevant to creatives. You can watch these on YouTube HERE



Twit...

I am on Twitter. I have built a valuable list of followers and follows. I don’t talk controversy or offer my opinions or critiques. I am there to learn and share what I discover. My topic is film making, with interest in some of the many aspects of it. I am first interested in acting from the perspective of a working actor. I also follow script writers, casting directors, actors and producers. As a volunteer member of the Creative Commission in my hometown I also post about related events. Like Creative Third Thursdays. Join me if you are on the platform. I am @geoffedwards

I created the characters many years ago and always intended to tell their story. I hope you enjoy it. If you do let me know by giving it a thumbs up.
