Crafting Memories and Voicing Characters: Michael Prascek's Journey from Accounting to Artistry

From Pittsburgh's punch card days to the sunny expanses of The Villages in Florida, our guest Michael Prascak brings the kind of stories that turn strangers into friends. Settle in as Michael paints a vivid picture of his journey through the worlds of accounting and IT, revealing how a knack for numbers and a passion for woodworking found a harmonious intersection in our bustling community. He'll take you through the twists and turns of his professional path and into the heart of local clubs that pulse with the shared enjoyment of hobbies like water volleyball and, of course, woodworking—a craft that, much like Michael, has only gotten better with time.

As you explore this episode, you'll feel like you're rummaging through an attic filled with four decades of treasured memories, each item sparking joy and reflection. Michael opens up about the sentimental process of curating a lifetime's worth of experiences, from meticulously organizing photo albums to digitizing slides. His stories of sandcastles that stood out on beaches and home-brewed beers that won over taste buds remind us that life's adventures often come from unexpected places, like worm farming or bringing a 1970 Pontiac Catalina back to life in the most unconventional of ways.

Step behind the microphone with me as I peel back the curtain on the dynamic world of voice acting. Discover the nuanced dance of auditioning, the dedication behind creating characters, and the commitment it takes to construct a home studio fit for an audiobook maestro. This episode is a masterclass in the art and business of voice artistry. And to all who've joined us on this auditory journey, a warm thank you, with a special nod to our community's own Dr. Craig Curtis. Bring a friend along for our next episode, and who knows, they might just discover a new pastime or the inspiration to pursue that quirky project they've been dreaming about.

Mike Roth: 2:03

This is Mike Roth, a pen Forum in The Villages, Florida. I'm here today with Michael Prasek. Michael, before you came to the villages, what did you do?

Michael Prascak: 2:13

Good question. Well, I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. One of six, second oldest, I have two brothers and three sisters. I grew up Catholic and still am. I went to Catholic grade school, public high school and Duquesne University. My dad wanted me to be an accountant, a CPA, and that's what I studied. But by the time I graduated with my accounting degree that was the last thing I wanted to do. So I stayed on, got a part-time job with the university actually, and then stayed on to get my MBA, hoping that would broaden my employment changes and opportunities at that time. During that course of the time, I met my wife, my college sweetheart, mary Ann. We danced. We met dancing. One of my side pastimes is dancing. I enjoy that. We've enjoyed that as a couple throughout our marriage.

Michael Prascak: 3:01

I've had a number of jobs throughout my career, but they were all based all surrounding an IT role. Back in the day 1983, computers were still mainframe based and as large as a small department building. That was my first job was taking. I was assistant registrar at Duquesne University for a number of years. That was my first professional career assignment. I took the university from a punch card system to an online registration system. So back at that day 1983, that was revolutionary 1983.

Mike Roth: 3:37

Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean, I remember buying my first personal computer. It was a digital research, a DR CPM a CPM machine. It had two floppy disks. Oh yeah, I bought it because I was opening up a consulting practice and we had to write proposals and recommendations. Man, that was so much better than the typewriter.

Michael Prascak: 3:58

Yeah, yeah, I was a leading edge model D, which was the first, one of the first IBM compatible nineteen eighty five cost me fifteen hundred bucks to floppy and I remember what you know. I just bought a new laptop which is was like three hundred bucks right, but back. So it's actually good, good productivity in the computer world. Also, most of my job training in the ITB was on the job and had to learn, you know, as the technology evolved and keeps changing and it's never ending. Yeah, it's never ending. I worked a variety that actually worked for myself. As a system consultant. I was a the computer guy for a number of small businesses did that for a while. I worked as the product IT manager back then. Even my titles evolved. First it was data processing and information technology, information science I don't even want to what it. Yeah, it is the term today. Today you'd be a cloud expert, cloud expert.

Mike Roth: 4:56

Yeah, a weatherman.

Michael Prascak: 4:59

There you go worked for a geotechnical engineering firm in Pittsburgh, worked for a, actually helped start up a software division of a consulting company in Pittsburgh, and then worked for a electrical manufacturing and building products wholesaler and then, lastly, a big major bank for the last ten, twelve years, which involuntarily retired me last year. So here I am in the villages.

Mike Roth: 5:25

so what do you do in the villages? For fun?

Michael Prascak: 5:27

Oh, I love doing trying new things. I've got many, many talents. Woodworking was a major major factor in moving here the two wood shops they have. I had had my own wood shop, made a lot of things in woodworking furniture, building cabinets, coffered ceilings, loft beds, building I mean a lot of stuff. And I sold all that to come to the villages because there was wasn't room in the house or the garage. Woodworking is one of the things. I do belong to the club there. Are you going to the club?

Mike Roth: 5:59

Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I found out last night that Dr Chubinski is a member of the club, so Steve Mendelssohn, really, yeah, I bumped into him.

Michael Prascak: 6:07

I was what are you doing here? Chicken lips and frog tails usually. What is the Louisiana lines? Yeah, that was one of the but probably the funnest thing I do. That's also good exercises water volleyball, in particular the splish splash. I'm able to do that with my wife and we both have a blast with that. We do water aerobics once a week. You wear a sweatsuit, waters during the winter months.

Michael Prascak: 6:30

Yeah, I have a wetsuit, top neoprene which keeps you warm even though the water is, you know, 82, 83 degrees, if it's windy, or 65 or 70. But usually we wait till it's 70 degrees and a little bit sunny and not too much wind to jump in. But we have fun, a lot of fun with that. And then I also belong to this improvisation theater club. Have you ever you?

Emily: 6:51

ever heard of that?

Michael Prascak: 6:52

yeah, I have heard of that once or two, yeah, so that's been a lot of fun, and putting on the shows with my co-host and my director, so yeah, so here I thought I would be playing. Took up pickleball a couple years ago, coming to here, was very in Statesville, north Carolina, where we moved from, and I thought it'd be playing pickleball two or three times a week. We're here. I don't have time to do that. I barely barely get into a pickleball thing once or once or twice a month and I've lost all my skill whatever I had, so I don't do that. I also don't golf, so but the villagers are so much to do and so much to try that not golfing and not pickleballing I still have plenty to do. I also joined the deep water fishing club. I'm gonna go on a few trips. I joined that recently, the little rascals men's club, with a shot pull with a couple guys going to their events what is the little rascals men's club all about?

Michael Prascak: 7:46

I've never heard of that one well, okay, just as it sounds, it's a men's only club doing guy kind of things we organize. But we do have events that the women can. For instance, we just had a Mardi Gras party at one of the centers, had a blast and they had, you know, live entertainment we go. We go to horse races and we'll take go on a fishing trip, shot pull with Pimlico last week.

Emily: 8:09

Just you know, pull set bill, your bill, your pull table.

Michael Prascak: 8:13

I gotta say billions right here, not pull yeah, well, that's got water in it.

Mike Roth: 8:17

Yeah, and Pimlico was a racetrack in Maryland yeah, and also in England too.

Michael Prascak: 8:22

I looked up anyhow. So that's what I, what I do. And then recently I just launched and started freelancing voiceover work. I'm actually in production of my first audiobook, which will be on Amazon audible so I'm pretty, pretty excited about that. I built a recording acoustically soundproof booth in my house. Use my woodworking skills to build a foldable portable breakdown phone booth.

Mike Roth: 8:48

Okay, that's high wife approval oh, yeah, well, yeah, I've done in this, in this studio, lucky, has been much, much luckly you know the whole room.

Michael Prascak: 8:58

We didn't have them as much room as we did. So, as we were determining the site, at first it was the garage and then the floor to room, but it couldn't be by glass and so anyhow made a portable knockdown room and made space for it. So that's working out so far.

Mike Roth: 9:14

Good, good Thanks. What's ahead for you on the horizon?

Michael Prascak: 9:18

Head for me on the horizon. One of my bucket list items is to get a US patent. Kind of a self-taught engineer. I wanted to be an engineer. My dad talked me into being a CPA and I've forgiven him for that. God rest his soul. So you're a CPA too.

Michael Prascak: 9:33

I've a degree to count, but I never got my certification Okay, so I guess a career is an IT. But I've always been a very, very avid handyman. You name it electrical plumbing, woodworking, siding, roofing of built sheds, deck furniture, building cabinets, coffered ceilings, all kind of things, and so I've always got a project going on, one or two landscaping as well. I've always done various gadgets and sort of inventions, but I would think that they're unique, none of them commercially viable or nothing that I need to go on the Shark Tank show and see what I could do. But I did develop one item that could be used for common household maintenance chore. I built, I taught myself CAD and had a 3D printed and it actually worked as I suspected. So I made some improvements and I've got version two, so that's like on the back burner now. I would love to do that.

Mike Roth: 10:30

Are you a 3D printer?

Michael Prascak: 10:32

I don't have my own 3D printer. I haven't invested in that. Again, space is at a premium. In my house we're actually still unpacking. We only moved to the villages here, not only, but people cost. Oh well, you're new. Eight months ago, last June.

Mike Roth: 10:47

Well, I'm here seven years and someone's been unpacked in the attic.

Michael Prascak: 10:50

Mary Ann, you listen to this. We just threw out like four or five this past week. So it's been a process. We've been married to each other, and only to each other, for 40 years, so you accumulate a lot of memories and a lot of stuff. So we've had to painfully go through some of that, but it's also been a joy. We were just looking at pictures oh my gosh, from 20 years ago when you had to print your pictures and photo albums and things like that. So it brought back some sweet memories as well, yeah, yeah.

Mike Roth: 11:22

Some of that stuff is good because you can pass it down to the kids and get rid of it.

Michael Prascak: 11:27

Yeah, if the kids want it. But you got to figure that out or get a digitally stored or whatnot. So, you know, it's funny.

Mike Roth: 11:35

When I was in my young 20s, I was a fanatic on taking slides. I must have had 3,000 slides when I moved here and my granddaughter was in. My granddaughter Monica, was in photography college and she had access to slide scanners. And so I said hey, Monica, would you mind transposing these slides into JPEG files, photos on the computer? You said, sure, I have plenty of time. You're still waiting for it. No, okay, she got it. She sent me wow, 3,000? About 3,000 slides. Dvds, oh joys. Memory sticks yeah, dvds are almost obsolete today.

Michael Prascak: 12:13

Yeah, almost yeah.

Mike Roth: 12:14

Almost you know, I was at the Magic Club last week and they were giving away magic training videos, so I picked one up. It was a VHS tape. We still have a VHS recorder. I have two of them in the attic, oh okay, but I don't know if they still work. They won't even season up there for seven years.

Michael Prascak: 12:34

I'm hanging on the mind in case the Smithsonian wants them. Yeah, they're crazy.

Mike Roth: 12:39

You hang on to them for a few more years, you can put them on eBay for $3,000 each Problem. I have one that is rather special. It's a high-definition VHS machine which they made only for a couple of years. They called them DVHSs.

Michael Prascak: 12:55

Oh, I barely remember that. Yeah, vaguely, and they had a hell of a price tag on them.

Mike Roth: 13:00

Yeah, good for you. Okay, what's some of the unique and interesting things that you've done?

Michael Prascak: 13:05

Wow.

Mike Roth: 13:07

Well.

Michael Prascak: 13:09

I have three first-place trophies in Sand Castle building in Myrtle Beach. Strictly amateur, I don't make a living. We've seen all these wild ones are 10 feet tall and take an army. This is one-man castles and something like. I have a pretty good artist. I actually could be an artist if chosen not to, but I enjoy art in my past time A sculpture, wood carving, painting, things like that. So I combine sculpting into enjoying the beach and have done some magnificent castles. If I am humbly stating Such the first-place trophies, you have to bring some pictures into.

Mike Roth: 13:46

Ibrahim.

Michael Prascak: 13:46

I would love to. Yeah, I also have five ribbons in home brewing home beer brewing. I was an avid beer brewer for many years and that was sort of the other channel of my career. My career. I've always had a full-time job in IT but always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I made several attempts. I actually owned 12 rental units before I bought my own house at age 30. None of that worked out. I tried worm farming. That didn't work out.

Michael Prascak: 14:15

When I was in the software, I developed a package for specialty printers. That didn't pan out. I joined, like I said, a startup software division. I expected to be doing the dot com or dot bomb area era. I expected to have an Ireland as a result of that with all the money that was fired around, but that didn't pan out. But I did start and own a micro brewery in North Carolina. That didn't work out. What was the name of the beer? The name of the brewery was Lake Norman Brewing Company in Moorsville, north Carolina, and that was so you name it. If I could do it wrong, I did it wrong. And so after lots of big money on that and so after three and a half years of sold it and then, did you ever get any?

Mike Roth: 15:02

product to the market.

Michael Prascak: 15:03

Oh yeah, I had, like I said, a brewery. Yeah, yeah, we had. Here's our names. We had, I can't remember now Bassacwards, brownhill, manover Board, ipa. I won. We had a high gravity blonde bear. We called the High Maintenance Blonde and the Wake Board. We did all kind of yeah, we had quite. We were at festivals, we had our own brewery.

Mike Roth: 15:26

Creative names.

Michael Prascak: 15:28

And thank you yeah.

Michael Prascak: 15:29

I bet the labels were creative too. The labels were very creative. I actually sculpted the tap handle which resembled a vintage 10 horsepower outdoor motor, so it looked like an antique outboard motor and we had our product in about 10 or so different bars and venues and restaurants around the Morseville area and, like I said, it did that bombed. But I did it, I tried it and, like I said, made a lot of mistakes and I've learned from that. So I haven't given up my dream of owning my own business or doing something entrepreneurial. So we'll see what that's down the road as well. But one more interesting thing I've done I cut off the front end of my first car, which was a 1970 Pontiac Catalina Mm-hmm.

Mike Roth: 16:14

I was a big car, full-sized car, oh my God.

Michael Prascak: 16:16

It was nine miles long. You could fit six crates of chickens in the trunk. I mean, I used to sleep in the back seat across six feet. I'd have six feet three without touching the doors. Yeah, it was enormous, but it looked like I cut off the front foot and a half like with a laser.

Dr. Craig Curtis: 16:32

Mm-hmm.

Michael Prascak: 16:33

I then designed and built a bracketing system hanging on a wall, Mm-hmm. And so I had it and rewired the headlights and turning lights and the horn and I had it hanging up and I've been carrying it around with me for the past 38 years. I then eventually had it. It was in three different garages, it was in my ski house and I had it lastly as lawn art in a little shelter that I made in the back yard up in Statesville and there was no place to bring it down here and I had to part with that and sell that.

Mike Roth: 17:03

So that was an interesting piece of sculpture and engineering Probably will look very good on the wall of a master bedroom.

Michael Prascak: 17:10

Yes, yeah, somehow that guy didn't. I didn't get the vote from Mary Ann on that one, but yeah, that would have been fine with me or POTS. What do they call it? A shabby chic or industrial chic in the living room, but well, you know it could have fit in the garage turned the garage into a man cave.

Michael Prascak: 17:28

It could have fit in the garage. Yeah, you hang out on the wall. It wasn't even enough wall space in my garage to bring it, so I had to part with it as we. I said we were downsizing and had to get rid of some stuff, so unfortunately, that we actually able to sell it. Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah.

Mike Roth: 17:45

Yeah, I mean, everyone would want the front foot of the half of a Pontiac.

Michael Prascak: 17:50

I had multiple offers, yeah, but so eventually I had to sell that to somebody who was going to put it in his man cave.

Mike Roth: 17:57

Yeah, yeah, the one of the few advantages of some of the houses in the other major community here top of the world is they build man caves into the garage. For you, an air conditioned room which is in quotation marks man cave, yeah.

Michael Prascak: 18:14

Well, I just saw one one coming, a sign that coming the caves is. Looks like that concept on off of 466, north of Walmart.

Mike Roth: 18:24

There is a place in Wildwood, right opposite Brownwood, called the VIP garage. We can rent a I think it's 2,500 square foot garage with a little air conditioned office. Wow, there's air conditioned space on the inside. High bays, running water, yeah, and there were a few businesses in there.

Michael Prascak: 18:43

That's a popular thing and I've heard it in places. You buy the you can put a deed. They put a deed on your rentals, these, I understand are rentals.

Mike Roth: 18:52

They rent them for 2,500 bucks a month for the full size Wow, and they will divide it into three spaces. Oh, for those people in the villages who have many extra cars. And now a tip on Alzheimer's from Dr Craig Curtis. Yeah, dr Curtis, can you talk about alcohol use and Alzheimer's?

Dr. Craig Curtis: 19:11

Yes, mike, they have had studies out for years that show those with that have one to two drinks a day actually have a lower risk of heart attack or stroke. And in a study published, that's interesting.

Mike Roth: 19:25

That means that people who totally abstain from alcohol have a higher risk.

Dr. Craig Curtis: 19:30

That's a difficult question, mike, but yes, those that abstain from alcohol not with Alzheimer's disease, but actually had a slightly higher risk of heart attack and stroke, However. So this was a study published in June of 2023 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and they showed for the first time that those that had one to two drinks per day it was associated with lower risk of heart attack or stroke, and they found out it was because of long term reductions in stress signaling in the brain. So essentially they had less stress, which we've always known as a risk factor for a heart attack or stroke. But the American College of Cardiology currently is not advocating for the use of alcohol to reduce your risk of heart attack or strokes because of other concerning effects of alcohol on health. Thank you, dr Curtis.

Warren: 20:25

With over 20 years of experience studying brain health, dr Curtis's goal is to educate the village's community on how to live a longer, healthier life. To learn more, visit his website, craigcurtismd. com, or call 352-500-5252 to attend a free seminar.

Michael Prascak: 20:41

I hope to continue my improv work and have had a lot of fun with that. The cast and the crew and even the directors yeah, they've been fortuitous. So I'm going to hone my skills and have a lot of fun with that.

Mike Roth: 20:55

Good, a lot of fun In the improv club. We have something called the playbook on the website for members. Only have you read through the playbooks.

Michael Prascak: 21:02

Yes, not every one of them but I have looked at some and particularly if I miss a meeting, I'll say like, well, what would they do? And things like that For sure.

Mike Roth: 21:11

Norma Robinson really keeps that up very well now. That's a great job. So that's important to understand what the scenes are all about, what the ropes are, yep, not the words that you're going to use, just the ropes. Good, hey, michael, thanks for being on the show today. Well, thank you for having me, mike. And how does someone get a hold of you? If they want you to read their book, why don't?

Emily: 21:30

you give them a sample of how you would read a book.

Michael Prascak: 21:34

I got a book over there Flat footed. Yeah, I'm thinking that. Well, this first book was written called Tale of Nations a midnight Tales of Midnight, I ought to get this right by Anthonio Mulapa, and she wrote it's sort of a student teacher book where she took 16 nations and then wrote 10 or 12 verses about the culture of that country and food and history and made it into sort of a poem. So they were all like four line stanzas. But I've been told I have a great deep voice. I could be the voice of God, but it was recommended that I just use my natural voice, my talking voice. I said well, that makes sense. That way I don't have to slip up. But I do want to get a couple pieces. I'm looking to do sci-fi or I used to play an online game and I'd come in and be the monster voice and things like that. So, but let me get something to read. I try to vary the Randomly pick a page in the book.

Mike Roth: 22:38

The pitch yeah, this is a book on caregiving to dementia Folks with dementia.

Michael Prascak: 22:44

All right Foster's emotional health. Regular gratitude practice has been linked to improved emotional health, reducing feelings of depression and anxiety. For caregivers who may experience emotional burnout, gratitude can serve as an emotional balm, soothing stress and promoting healing.

Mike Roth: 23:00

So there you go Okay.

Michael Prascak: 23:03

Well, contact the author and things like that. I had spent January building my booth and I hadn't put together even my profile or this, that and the other things. So I auditioned for two book on February 8th. February 10th. I got an offer to do one of them in February 12th. I accept it, so I've been busy with that. I didn't even have audio examples or a website or things like that, so I got to do catch up on promotion. So I'm right into production right now.

Mike Roth: 23:33

So how long do you think it'll take you to produce the book? Yeah Well, so it's a comedy.

Michael Prascak: 23:41

It's a learning curve for sure. I'll probably end up with one hour recorded material and at my pace now it's taking me about an hour, an hour and a half, to do each four-minute segment. So one hour is going to probably take me 40 hours at least. Yeah, I probably put much into that, but part of if you were going to build your time.

Mike Roth: 24:03

Yeah, Well, I so let's figure out the value.

Michael Prascak: 24:09

Okay, well, like I said, this is my marketing technique, so it's not really costing me an extra penny to produce this, other than my time and time is valuable. But now that I'm semi-retired and I bought that, that's the first question. Well, how do you get paid, or how much are you getting paid? Well, I took this on a royalty basis, strict. So for every book that this sells, I get a 20% royalty for the next seven years. So I may make 50 bucks, I may make 500. No, but look my question.

Mike Roth: 24:37

I'm not worried. Okay, go ahead. Was if you were billing for your time at a reasonable rate based on the speed that you're going, how much do you think you would have charged cash money to do the reading of the book?

Michael Prascak: 24:48

Well, put it this way In my IT contracting days I got anywhere from 50 to $65 an hour.

Mike Roth: 24:56

Let's take the bottom number $50.50.

Michael Prascak: 24:59

$50 an hour. Yeah, I'd be tickled pink if I got that. I don't see that coming anytime soon.

Mike Roth: 25:04

Okay, so $50, and how many hours do you think it'll take, based at the current reading rate? Let's say 50. 50 times 50. $2,500.

Michael Prascak: 25:14

$2,500. Yeah, so that would be my break even on that point, if it was indeed worth that much.

Mike Roth: 25:20

We'll see. So I'm going to do a presentation in a couple of weeks or it would already happen with an author in the villages who wrote some very interesting and nonfiction books that are based on facts and he has a child book series called the Monsters of Monstrovia and he wanted it produced so that it could be packaged A as a podcast but later resold as a children's cartoon series, and he found it outside producer to do it and the sound is absolutely A1 with background music Sounds like multiple actors or actresses. He spent $25,000. But he did get a pitch deck for Hollywood.

Michael Prascak: 26:05

Okay, Well, that's a big project and some of the other things that I've seen there. They're going for 200, the ones that get paid upfront are going their voice is going for $200 to $400 per finished hour of recording, Per finished hour, Per finished hour. So it was an eight hour book and it takes you at least three times as much. You know you got to do your own editing and re-read it.

Mike Roth: 26:29

And $50, you said $200 per finished hour.

Dr. Craig Curtis: 26:32

Yeah.

Mike Roth: 26:33

And it's eight hours of finished work. Eight times 50 is $4,000.

Michael Prascak: 26:36

Yeah, yeah, and that's back down to the 50 buck range. Yeah, so not too bad. Yeah, okay, we'll see.

Mike Roth: 26:44

Great. If someone wants to talk to you about recording their book, how should they do that? Michael, I don't know. You have an email address that they could use.

Michael Prascak: 26:53

I'll put down my email. Yeah, I'm a big guy also Monty Python fan, so I've had my email since the early 90s. One of the first characters in the first episode was Arthur Tushed, so my email is atusheds atwoshedscom.

So another maybe that's where I draw most of my improv comedy from. I reach oh, there was a Monty Python. I've also my career, been in two, done a little bit of acting. I've been in two nutcrackers. I was a sang dance and I had a few words in Mamma Mia on the stage Also did the odd couple female version and most people done, though there was a female version. So drawn upon all those actors that experience, as well as Monty Python and two. But the year before I started they had Spamalot as their annual big summer show and I just kicked myself that I was one year too late, because that would have been my crowning achievement that if I was able to do a Sherlock Holmes I would be happy. That'd be on my bucket list. So there's my email. Thanks, mike.
