Winnipeg, Canada, January 10, 2007: Chuck Brown, a gifted voice
over artist, piano musician/composer and Web designer works 60 - 80
hours a week. Why would a man this busy volunteer online for a
charitable organization about 1,000 miles away? Brown, based in
Columbus, Ohio has been volunteering online, sharing his voice over
talent with Macdonald Youth Services (MYS), a registered charitable
organization based in Winnipeg, Canada for about one and a half
years.
"Chuck is amazing', stated MYS Online Volunteer Program
Developer Randy Tyler. "Along with his professional voice over work, music
projects, he also manages about 30 Web sites of his own, yet at a
moments notice he has so willingly voiced a script for a radio
Public Service Announcement (PSA), presentation or video," continued
Tyler.
"Once you hear his voice, you will remember the message, as he
seems so effortlessly able to bring words to life", said Tyler. "Not
only is his voice authoritative and distinctive, but he has this
uncanny gift to make every word as clear as the sky on a summer
day", added Tyler.
Philipa Caplan, MYS Human Resources Officer, recently had the
opportunity to be involved with Brown during the development of
MYS's Youth Care Worker Recruitment PSAs. Caplan highlights the
value of services that such online volunteers as Brown so generously
provide to MYS."... much of what we receive online from Chuck, from our graphic
artists, from our HR Assistants-at-a-distance, from our film
editors, and the list goes on and on... would have to be purchased",
stated Caplan. "This might mean budget restraints or sacrifices
would have to be made elsewhere or we would simply have to do
without," continued Caplan.
But the question remains: Why does the man behind the microphone, that
works on average 60 - 80 hours a week, volunteer online for a=
charity
a 1,000 miles away (a charity he has
never seen)? To find the answer to this intriguing question and to
