Why I’m Returning to the Cecil Sez Blog: Creativity, Career & Consistency

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? About a year, to be exact. If this blog were a houseplant, it would’ve wilted, dried out, and had a little “please water me” sticky note taped to it months ago. But here we are — dusting things off, cracking open the laptop, and putting words back into the world.

So why return now? That’s a great question. The short answer: creativity (because it keeps me sane), career (because this blog supports my voice acting, acting, and entrepreneurial journey), and consistency (because Google likes it when we show up regularly).

The long answer? Well, that’s why you’re here.

Rediscovering My Creative Voice

When I first started blogging, it was part of the “you’ve got to do this if you want people to find your website” playbook. You’ve got to start a voice acting blog!  Post regularly, be a consistent blogger, use keywords, sprinkle in links like parsley on pasta. All very practical. But somewhere along the way, it stopped being about expression and started feeling like homework.

So, I stepped away. And in that break, I realized something important: I actually missed it. Not the “ugh, I have to write a blog” feeling — but the part where I get to sit down and share what’s on my mind. Where I get to connect the dots between my worlds of acting, voiceover, sales, and entrepreneurship.

Because honestly, all those areas are messy, unpredictable, and kind of hilarious at times. And if I can share some of the lessons (and yes, some of the stumbles) with you, maybe you’ll take away something useful — or at the very least, have a laugh at my expense.  Go ahead and laugh now if you like…

Key Goals for the Cecil Sez Blog’s New Chapter

So, what’s the plan now that I’m back? Simple, but intentional.

• 🎯 Build authentic connections — share real stories, not just polished soundbites.
• ✍️ Explore lessons I’ve learned (and am still learning) in acting, voice work, and sales.
• 🌐 Boost SEO (because hey, the nerdy side of me wants this site to rank).
• 🧠 Sharpen my storytelling voice — writing keeps my creativity muscles flexing.
• 💼 Support my business growth — this blog isn’t just therapy; it’s also part of the bigger picture.  I’ll highlight the importance of creativity in entrepreneurship.

If you’ve followed my journey before, welcome back — I’ve missed you. If you’re new here, buckle up. We’re going places.

 

What’s Coming Next

Here’s the fun part: a sneak peek at what I’ve got cooking for the next few months.

• 🎭 Acting meets sales — what selling cars taught me about being in front of the microphone and the camera.  And how storytelling in sales is the key to success.
• 🎙 Voiceover lessons — the gear, the grind, and the “finding your voice” stuff that no one tells you.
• 💼 Modern sales without sleaze because the world doesn’t need more pushy salespeople.
• 🧘 Entrepreneurship & balance — trying to juggle business, family, and self-care without dropping too many balls.
• 🤖 Industry trends — yes, even AI voice cloning and how it’s shaking up the VO world.

My goal is to post twice a month. Not too little, not too much — just enough to stay connected without driving either of us crazy.
