FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 5 ON CLASSES… AND ASSORTED VERITIES AND BALDERDASH BY JOHNNY HELLER So you want to be/are/have asserted that you are — an actor. Something you’ve always wanted to be. A life-long dream. Yet you wonder about the value of classes. Should you take them? What sort? You’re already pretty damn good – I mean, how much better can you be? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say: “a lot”. You can be a lot better. Acting- in all its many forms- is an ongoing representation and presentation of the human condition and there is no way one can …

FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 4 by Johnny Heller ON REVIEWS AND SUCH…. It’s always nice to get a wonderful review in Audiofile Magazine or Publishers Weekly. It feels good. Good reviews tend to validate your choice to become an actor who does audiobooks. It says: “I am being recognized and my work is being commended. I am good.” But does it? Does it really?

FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL. 7 NO. 1 by Johnny Heller ON THE YEAR 2014 Many important things happened during the year. Sadly, I can’t remember a single thing without going to the internet and looking stuff up. A whole year and I’m not certain what happened without Google. Is that just me or are we all so used to learning about the world around us in social media sound bites that we’ve lost the facility of recall? I dunno. I do know that I can – and will – look up a few “news highlights of 2014” and then I will go “Oh Yeah! I remember that!” And …
FOR THE HELL OF IT VOL 6 NO 6 By Johnny Heller ON VACATIONS: For many years a large part of the American Dream was a job — or at least the opportunity to land a job. And why was this “right to work” so important? Was it so one could feel imbued with a sense of belonging in an increasingly dehumanizing society? Was it so one could feed, shelter and clothe kith and kin? meh. Mostly the right to work — the desire and drive to earn a salary – can be summed up in one word – VACATION.
