Meet Garry Morris

-

It is truly a pleasure to once again be working with Garry Morris. Not only is Garry a talented actor, but he's funny, kind and enjoyable to work with. Garry has been with Straight to Audio Productions from it's inception, playing a major role in all our audio books. Additionally, Garry has directed a number of commercials to promote the Quirky Audio Book Series. Garry is voicing the part of Nephi Stratton in our new project titled Splat! A Quirky Cat Audio Book.
I made it a point to contact Garry after a performance of his as the narrator in A Christmas Story, a project he co-produced. Garry has such a natural narration style that I knew he would be a perfect fit for my audio books.


Garry was raised at the Jersey Shore and claims that during all the time he's spent there he has never once run into Snookie or The Situation. Garry's college background in acting catapulted him out of NJ to schools in Rhode Island, Ohio and England. After college, Garry backpacked around Europe before finally moving to Los Angeles where he served as VP and later President of two post productions studios, one of which was located in Mexico City.
Garry decided to escape the “industry” of entertainment in L.A. and moved to Southern Utah where he has worked on a number of productions for theater, film and audiobooks. Garry is co-owner of a production company called Man of Two Worlds LLC www.manoftwoworlds.com
Some of Garry's most recent accomplishments include raising a half million dollars to help build a new performing arts center in Kayenta www.kayentaartsfoundation.org
Garry has also launched a successful real estate group called Center Stage Real Estate www.centerstagerealestate.com


In his free time, Garry loves to travel. He has visited all seven continents and even went horseback riding around the three pyramids of Giza. Garry is a dog owner, a wonderful cook, and an avid supporter of the arts community in Southern Utah.

The sponsors of Voice Acting For Dummies are offering this guest blog post that I thought would be helpful to actors and writers. Enjoy!  An effective Internet marketing strategy is one of the keys to a successful voice acting business. Your business needs a multi-pronged approach to ensure positive results. One of the first things any voice actor needs to do before jumping in full force to self-market is to build a website. This website can be a traditional one or it may be having a profile on a voice-over marketplace. Most people have both. In the following sections, we focus on how you can build your web presence with a personal website that you can be proud of, how you can utilize social media, how you can maximize how people can locate your presence, and how you can advertise online. (We discuss a marketplace site in the “Utilizing a Voice Acting Marketplace Website” section in this chapter.) Building a personal website When you modestly invest in

I have the good fortune of belonging to an informal business support group. We meet for breakfast to talk about how we are using social media to publicize our companies.

I don't know much about Search Engine Optimization, but marketing gurus insist it is the pathway to a successful website.
