Emil’s Phone Rant, The Rivers and the Ravines (circa 2003) video

A high school classmate and accomplished director and actress, Erin, asked me to audition for a part in a play she was directing. I was thrilled! Of course, I said yes! The character was a farmer facing the loss of his farm and land due to foreclosure. In this scene, I had to perform a monologue to a rural telephone hotline. Erin told me to not hold back. I’m proud of this performance even though I had no formal training in acting. It was fun to do and my thanks to Erin for the opportunity to act under her direction.

COVID-19 Video Conference from the Comfort Suites in Marshall, Texas

Funny story about this video: I was visiting friends in Marshall, Texas, and had to teach a public speaking class via video conference using the hotel’s Wi-Fi, a gaming headset, and a laptop that was on the verge of obsolescence. The hotel room was extremely cold, and I couldn’t turn off the air conditioner. The desk I was sitting at was positioned directly under the fan, so my voice and nasal passages were being directly affected by the freezing air.
