Bio
I am a college professor of Communication, theater, film and media based in Las Vegas, with roots in Chicago and life experience including Wyoming and California. I am by professional experience an actor, voice artist, producer, director, wire service reporter, a broadcast talk host, radio journalist, marketing and advertising agency owner, father, political activist, writer and I am in my fifteenth year on the National Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild. For the past decade I have also been active in coaching actors of all ages, and as the voice of Nevada Public Radio on Sunday mornings. I offer my talents for union freelance voice and acting work, as well as consulting in media, advertising, public relations, image and life style coaching. I serve on the New Media and Communication committees of the Screen Actors Guild, writing many briefs and observation for those groups. I am of co-chair of the Screen Actors Guild National New Technologies committee. Through SAG I stay on top of issues of importance to young performers and their parents. Many other committees I have or am serving on can be found in my CV (resume for professors- Curriculum Vitae). You can find out more about be at: http://thebiz.variety.com/people/artlynch I have been active in theater; film, commercials, industrials and convention work in many roles, from actor to director or producer to lowly PA (production assistant). I have some knowledge and background in Chicago and Nevada history. I live a world away in clean, green small town Boulder City, a short drive over Railroad Pass from Henderson and Las Vegas. Our town is small in population but very large in geography, offering a buffer for our controlled population growth. We do not allow gambling, but do allow two full service bars, and wine or beer at most restaurants. I highly recommend the bar-restaurant “Evan’s Old Towne Grill” for a cost effective but excellent dinner if you go through town, and either “Mel’s” or the “Coffee Cup” for coffee, breakfast or lunch. My wife Laura is a social worker, currently employed at the Boulder City Hospital. Our daughters are both grown, with Beth and her family relocated for economic reasons to Oklahoma, where her husband has a good job in management at the US Postal Serve. Our other daughter Ann lives in Las Vegas and runs the Internet business she started, http://www.writescienceright.com Our home is a 700 plus foot original hand built home build in 1932 by workers from the Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) using lumber from concrete pouring. Lots of history, but uneven floors! We have two dogs. Winston is an 11-year-old Irish wolfhound mix (we are not sure with what) who was Laura’s mom’s dog until she passed away. To keep him company we also adopted an Australian Cattle Dog named Mimi. We have two grown daughters, and six grandchildren.

Who tells you to think what and why

Who runs your life, who tells you what to believe, and why?

Why do we believe the things we do?

Why do we ignore entire issues or the views of others?

Why do we choose to fight instead of listen, reason and compromise?

Why do we so…

 Sorry your time is up.

I once read that the BBC worked long and hard to delay the introduction of “Sesame Street” on British Television because the program taught children that all you need to know you can learn in one or two minutes bites. The Sesame Street generation now includes… Read full post »

Is Journalism a Profession

Years ago a professor taught me that journalism, as a profession was limited to the central part and latter days of the 20th century. His reasons lie in the fact that while calling themselves a profession there were not standards or checks and balances found in other professions. Freedom also leads… Read full post »

Why is communication so difficult?

Communication is difficult and growing increasingly more difficult at a geometric rate. We are losing the ability to listen, really listen,and to understand others. Our tolerance levels are strained by a surplus of messages, diversity of information sources and…

Honor this day

A gang jumped and mugged a man this morning. When they opened his wallet and saw that he was in the military they returned what they took, apologize and did a fist bump salute for his service for his country.

 

Who in the Vietnam generation could have imagined that? For… Read full post »

Bow down to FOX and Microsoft

Big media does trickle down to you, the consumer.

 

If a company gets a larger share of the pie from a distributor, that distributor needs to make it up by raising the amount they charge you. You end up paying more.

 

Actually it is more… Read full post »
