Mike Rowe on Marketing, Storytelling, South Park and more
Mary Windishar
This is Part 2 of our interview with Mike Rowe, a television host, documentary voice, and commercial personality. But he's also a visionary on a mission: to represent the working person. To accomplish this he's found a way to speak for them, and cleverly market himself. It all begins at www.mikeroweworks.com.
Many scripts call for a "storytelling" read, and Mike Rowe is a master of the art. Here, he reveals his wish to deconstruct the provided copy, which may be a tool you can use when you're asked to read with this affect. He also explains the use and effectiveness of silence in storytelling. Disclaimer/warning: Mary Windishar is a giddy Dirty Job fan -- we thought you might enjoy the way she embarrasses herself at the beginning of the interview.
It's no surprise that Mike Rowe is ambitious, but as usual, there's a twist. Here, he reveals his goal to appear on an episode of South Park. If you'd like to help him out, check out this video, and then go to our Facebook page (please see link below,) and be sure to comment and/or click "like."
