As the readers of this blog know, Jeff Cannata has had a very active career as a host of a number of very popular internet TV shows, including The Totally Rad Show and his current show, Newest, Latest, Best, or NLB to the initiated. He is well know as an enthusiastic and intelligent critic of media, including games, films, books, TV, and comic books. Below you will see him being apologetic for taking some NLB time and being self-serving to talk about our recent collaboration, the audiobook of my novel, Traveling in Space.
As the author of Traveling in Space, and the producer and director of the audiobook of same, let me say that Jeff has no reason to be apologetic for being “self-serving” in this NLB mini-review. Because he really wasn’t. He spends much more time talking about the quality of the novel (Thank you, Jeff!) than his own performance.
I am. though, perfectly happy to be Jeff-serving. If you only know Jeff from his hosting on The Totally Rad Show or NLB or a number of other programs, you are in for a real treat. Jeff is a superb actor of range and depth and vocal versatility. I asked of Jeff not a reading of the book, but a full out performance of 35 plus characters, male and female, humans and aliens. He not only did not disappoint, he excelled in what was hoped for. No author could be happier. No friend could be more proud.
But it’s still fun to watch Jeff be slightly shy about talking about his acting. How refreshing! An actor with an ego in check. I guess you will just have to rely on me for ego.
Take a watch -- I would be thrilled if you pick up some of Jeff’s enthusiasm for our work together.
