Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Draw a 10x10 grid on a large poster board with a permanent marker. Create a grid in a word processing program if you don’t want to draw it. Print out a readymade grid from the Internet to save time. Label each row and column with a number from 0 to 9. Assign 2 football teams to the board—1 on top and 1 on the sides.

Answer: You want each square to be large enough to record your players’ initials and numbers. The grid should have 100 squares in all—1 for each player. Ideally, you should have 100 players total, but this isn’t a hard rule. Use a ruler to keep your lines straight as you draw. Making a grid digitally is as easy as opening your word processor! Use the table tool to create a 10x10 grid. You can print the table out on regular 8 inches (20 cm)x10 inches (25 cm) printer paper. It’s okay if you don’t have the time or desire to make your own grid. Football Squares is popular enough that you can easily find premade game grids online. Try https://www.superbowlsquares.org/assets/images/grids/football-squares_10x10.jpg. Start with the top row, writing 0 above the first square. Write a new number above each square until you get to the last square, which should be number 9. Repeat with the left side of the grid. Each square will receive a number from the top and side rows, which represents the final digit of the score for each time. Every square on the board represents a potential score outcome for the game. Say, for instance, that one team earns 14 points and the other earns 25. The player with a 4 on the first half of their square (representing the second digit of the first team’s score) and a 5 in the bottom half (representing the second digit of the second team’s score) wins for that quarter. Write the name of 1 team at the top of the board. The numbers there will represent their scores. Write the name of the other team on the side of the board. Their scores will be reflected by the other numbers written on that side. Make your game board look a little more fun by printing out each team’s logo and gluing or taping it on their side of the board!


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen closely. Be present for the birth. During the birth, look out for signs of complications and be ready to call the vet if need be. Intervene yourself with the pups only when absolutely necessary. Check each pup is breathing. Check that the sow clears away any signs of the birth. Ensure that the sow is interested in the pups as first-time mothers, particularly young ones, may run away from the pups as if confused.

Answer: When you are checking on your guinea pig, listen for any groaning. Your guinea pig will give a distinctive groan when she is going into labour. Even if you've never heard it before, chances are you’ll know it when you hear it. It should be under an hour and there should be about 5 minutes between pups. The sow will sit up with her head between her legs and make small ‘hiccups’, these are contractions.  Do not hold the mother. Do not crowd the mother — have only one person in the room, but another on standby to make calls if necessary. Do not intervene or touch the pups unless you need to. There is no need to remove other sows, they may even help with the pups. If any sign of complication or distress does arise, do not hesitate and contact the vet immediately. Signs of complication are:  Mother strains for 15 minutes without producing a pup. Total labor is over one hour. Mother starts making "extreme" stress calls Mother seems to give in, appearing exhausted Mother salivates/foams at mouth Excessive bleeding (more than a tablespoon) The vet may try to manipulate the piglet into a position where the mother can pass it. However, a caesarean surgery may be required. Occasionally, with large litters, if the pups emerge too quickly, the mother will not have time to break the amniotic sac herself. In these cases, and only if you are sure the mother will not do it herself, carefully pick up the pup with a clean towel and remove the sac yourself, clearing any fluid from the face. Do not use your fingers or nails as you could accidentally scratch the pup’s eyes. Whilst a pup becoming stuck in the birth canal or born breech is common, never intervene yourself. Only a skilled and experienced veterinarian should attempt to manipulate the position of pups before they are born. If a pup is not, carefully lift it up and hold it at arm’s length. Its head should be away from you. Spin around once. The force should free any blockages from its throat and help it to start breathing. If this does not work, gently rub its back forwards and backwards which should achieve the same thing. She will eat the afterbirth and should clean each pup. She will also eat any bedding etc. with blood on it. When you are sure the birth is over, you can assist the sow in cleaning by removing any stained bedding. If the sow runs away from the pups, carefully place her and the pups together in a small box and her maternal instincts should kick-in.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create a demo reel.  Build a resume Find a talent agent. Send your demo reel and resume to studios. Build your portfolio online. Choose the right location.

Answer:
This is a voice actor's way of showcasing his or her talents when looking for work. Your demo reel can be comprised of original work or imitations of characters/scripts that already exist. It is important to have a quality demo reel that represents you and showcases your range and skill set. You can record your own or have it professionally done. If recording your own, pay attention to sound quality and make sure to do it in a place without background noise. You don’t want anything to distract from your voice.  Getting a professional demo reel can cost hundreds of dollars. It doesn’t guarantee a good demo, just a good quality recording. The content of your demo is most important. With a good microphone in a quiet room at home, you can still make a quality recording. Start strong, with your best work showcased in the first 30 seconds of your reel. A potential employer will likely only watch about 30 seconds of your reel, so make it count. A demo reel should be fairly short, no longer than one to two minutes long, and it should be straight to the point, succinctly showcasing several voices.  If you are creating a demo reel for a specific job position that you desire, make sure the content of your demo reel is relevant to the job. For example, if you are auditioning for a male character, they probably don’t need to hear your old lady impression. . You often need to have work to get work, which can be challenging when starting out. Try to gain any experience you possibly can so that you can build a resume. Take acting classes, attend workshops,  make a YouTube channel featuring your original content, get involved in community theater, offer to be the announcer at your school, narrate an ebook, or simply find anything relevant to voice acting that you can do to get started. This will help you to look experienced to casting directors and will help you to develop your skills. Your resume is much more important than headshots for voice acting. Professional headshots are a nice touch, but they can cost hundreds of dollars and don’t help casting directors because your appearance isn’t relevant to voice acting. Just like any other kind of actor, a voice actor’s career will be helped by having an agent represent them. Your agent will notify you of casting calls in the area and help match you with the right jobs. They will help to market you and manage your career. They will help negotiate your salary and will earn commission from your jobs. They will know of jobs that you aren’t able to find on your own. Send your demo reel and resume to talent agents in your area. Choose one that you trust and feel comfortable with.  Getting an agent will help take your career to the next level. You already need to have your voice developed and determine what kind of voice work you want to do prior to getting an agent. Find an agent that specializes in voice acting. Decide whether you want to work in television, films, or radio, and find an agent that specializes in that industry. Find every studio within your area and mail them your demo and resume. If you are willing to travel, you could even send your demo and resume across the country. Be prepared to wait for an answer and to face a lot of rejection. Studios get hundreds of demos and you may or may not be what they are looking for. Just because they don’t respond right away, however, doesn’t mean they will never be interested. Maybe they don’t have a part for you currently but liked your demo and will consider you in the future. Having a strong online presence can help your career. You can  make a personal website using a service such as Wordpress, you can showcase your skills on YouTube, or you can  use social media sites by making accounts specifically for your career. Casting directors are looking more and more at the internet to find talent. If someone has heard of your work, you want it to be easy for them to look you up and see what you can do. Having pages online dedicated specifically to your voice work will help you market yourself. If you are seriously pursuing voice acting as a career, you may want to live in a city with a large voice acting industry. Although the internet has lessened the necessity of this, it can still be helpful to be right in the center of things. Some of the top cities in the US for voice acting are Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, and San Francisco.
