It’s new voiceover demo session day! 🥳 I was It’s new voiceover demo session day! 🥳 I was in the studio this morning recording some new #promo and #commercial demos (can’t wait to share them! Can you guess who is directing and producing? Hint:🤘🎸🎧) We captured a relaxed, conversational sound that’s really different from my usual zany animation stuff. It’s exciting to showcase something new! 

And yes, those are movie-themed glasses toppers. Gotta accessorize appropriately! 🤓

I also relied on my trusty straw to get rid of any gravelly “morning voice” in between spots. It’s amazing how smooth just a few straw warmups and humming can make you sound. It’s a tool I wish I discovered years ago, because it really helps!

Every now and then things line up where I get to w Every now and then things line up where I get to work with this amazing kiddo in the booth at the same time! Super proud of him, and thrilled that he enjoys “playing pretend” and doing voices as much as me. When @wonkybotstudios asked us to play superhero teammates, we were excited! It was fun getting to finally have characters that interact in a project.

Check out Brendan’s debut as “Scratch,” a kid superhero with razor claws! You’ll get a kick out of his sass. 😂 I join him as fellow super teen “Purple Cosmic” 🦸‍♀️in Season 4, Episode 4 of the exciting kids podcast, Tara Tremendous. 

Go take a listen (link in bio!) and tell us what your favorite part was! It’s a really fun ride.

Please keep my sweet kitty ❤️Mia🐈‍⬛ in Please keep my sweet kitty ❤️Mia🐈‍⬛ in your thoughts. She’s had a stuffy nose and leaking eye on one side for weeks, and while antibiotics seem to temporarily help, now we’re in day two of not eating. Being a 14 year old cat who is already skinny, that’s worrying!😔 She seems hungry and is meowing for food as I prep it, but then whatever I offer, she sniffs and walks away. Still has good mood and attitude and is coming to us for cuddles and drinking water, which is good. Blood work and exam was all normal. But vet can’t fit us in again for more diagnostics (thinking maybe it’s an assessed tooth?) until next week, so I need to figure out how to get her to eat until then. 
.
😿Cat people, any tips on how to get her to eat something? I’ve tried multiple wet foods, hearing it up, freeze dried salmon and chicken treats, and even a scoop of smelly ground salmon.

Sometimes your kids’ school lessons surprisingly Sometimes your kids’ school lessons surprisingly line up perfectly with your expertise. They’re currently studying how sound travels and how the human ear👂works, so it was the perfect opportunity to talk about why I use certain materials in my booth and how we get reverb if there’s flat surfaces. I sent them into the booth and stomped my feet upstairs, then did experiments like having them yell or clap in a tile room and then try it in the booth. It was kind of cool to watch my kids suddenly understand the technical side of my job more, and my eldest even sheepishly admitted “oh. You really CAN hear us when we’re running up the stairs…” 😆 Now if only I could demonstrate this lesson to the neighbors when they’re doing bad karaoke and cranking up the bass…

It’s actually starting to feel like WINTER this It’s actually starting to feel like WINTER this evening here in Southern California (finally!!!) I’ve missed cozy sweaters. Cuddling with my buddy #Zero helps my fingers stay warm too. His Samoyed genes make his coat SO soft! 🥰🐾 Now I’m gonna head inside and sip some tea to thaw the rest of me. 🔥☕️

Hogwarts @unistudios was GORGEOUS all lit up last Hogwarts @unistudios was GORGEOUS all lit up last night. Did a fun little evening trip with the fam to see the holiday lights before the crowds get too crazy. I got stuck nearly upside down on the ride right after this, haha (that darn Whomping Willow thought it was fun to make me dangle!). That was crazy uncomfortable, but neat to get a closer look at the inner workings of #forbiddenjourney while it was paused!  The Indominus Rex on Jurassic World was also not working, but again, I liked being able to really examine the cool animatronics! I love practical effects. They fascinate me. 

Has a ride ever broken down on you before, and were you happy about it? 🙂

It's this little cutie's birthday today!!! He real It's this little cutie's birthday today!!! He really loves #sonicthehedgehog so we're going to have a little outdoor get-together this weekend, and I need ideas for Sonic-themed activities and party games I can prepare for a few kids 10 and under. I'm collecting snacks that look like "rings" (Cheerios, gummy candy, gluten free donuts) and serving chili dogs. What other Sonic-themed things can I plan that might be fun? Help me out, fellow #gaming nerds, and let me know your ideas!🤗🎉

So that was embarrassing. 🤗I'm sitting outside So that was embarrassing. 🤗I'm sitting outside watching the kids ride bikes and I just jumped out of my skin when a squirrel suddenly chittered and rustled the branches behind me. Afraid of cute fluffy critters...Does this mean I get kicked out of the #disneyprincess club? 😆

In my defense, we had a BEAR🐻 in this same spot of my yard a few days ago! Clearly I'm jumpy. Welcome to life in the foothills!

Thank you @bergen.bob and @aganguzza at #vopeeps f Thank you @bergen.bob and @aganguzza at #vopeeps for a fun time playing with characters at today's workshop. I've wanted to work with Bob for a while! It was really helpful hearing my talented classmates adjust their reads with his wonderful direction, too. I took away lots of great nuggets of wisdom that I can't wait to try in the next animation auditions that come my way! Thanks for sharing your time and advice, Bob!

It took me a while to figure out how to share the It took me a while to figure out how to share the audio in a post, but here it is! I got interviewed recently by @wonkybotstudios for Episode 10 of their Insiders podcast. I talk about #FollowingBliss, the importance of slowing down, and how I got started in #voiceovers.

Look for it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts or click the link in my bio to hear more. Hope you like it!

RAIN IN SOCAL!!! 🌧Finally! I love the green, mi RAIN IN SOCAL!!! 🌧Finally! I love the green, misty atmosphere today. Everything feels like a dewy fairy forest (my pet dragons Torchy, Spooky, and Nessie agree. Scroll to meet them) and it makes me so happy that I can comfortably wear a sweater again! (They’ve all been sad that they’re not getting much use. 🥺) I had to get outside and just stroll around to enjoy it while it lasts, because sometimes the weather here tricks us and it’s suddenly 90 degrees again the next day! My kids, of course, were thrilled to have big puddles to splash in. Now they’re covered in mud, but keep yelling “best day ever!” 

What do you like to do in rare rain? ☔️

Look how red my face is! I had a really amazing #c Look how red my face is! I had a really amazing #creaturevoice session early this morning (can’t wait to be able to share about it when I’m allowed!), and every time I do these, I’m amazed at what a workout it was! Bouncing, squealing, laughing, snoring, etc. There’s a lot of #improv involved too, and I get a kick out of hearing the clients come up with ways to describe a creature’s thought process. 😆 I forget sometimes that booths don’t have the best ventilation though. So I made sure to hydrate and open the door for fresh air occasionally. 🌬Even though I feel like I ran a marathon, I always really enjoy this type of work and am thrilled when it comes up. Hanging with lots of animals🐿 and babies 🐣throughout my life has definitely come in handy. 🤪

When the sky is full of wildfire particles (it was When the sky is full of wildfire particles (it was orangey brown all day…yuck) and I have a big recording session in the morning, it’s steam to the rescue! This gadget really helps when I start to feel hoarse and stuffy. We took the dog out for playtime and I immediately felt tightness in my chest. Not very healthy air! Keeping those sinus passages and throat hydrated is so important, especially when the air quality is this bad. Neti/saline squirt bottles are something I use a lot in my routine, too, and I also inhale peppermint essential oil to open up my nasal passages a bit. 

What are some of your favorite tricks to stay hydrated and clear before a big session?

I’m a little behind on announcing project debuts I’m a little behind on announcing project debuts because I’m knee-deep in recording the next ones, but here’s an audiobook that’s worth checking out if you enjoy adventurous #historicalfiction! 

Answer Creek tells the story of 19 year old Ada Weeks, an orphan who took her chance on the trail with the Donner party (yes, THAT Donner party!) Narrating this certainly made me thankful for all the blessings we have today, like air conditioning, modern medicine, and vehicles that don’t depend on oxen. These people certainly were strong to face the things they did. They had a lot of heartbreak and impossible decisions, but the book also has a lot of hope. It also gave me a chance to practice some accents…did you know that there were Irish, Norwegian, German, French Canadian people and more in the group? Wow! Quite a challenge. Thanks to @elizajane2020 for the tips on learning Irish quickly that she shared with me at #voatlanta. Much appreciated for this project!

I really enjoyed telling Ada’s story, and learning about the history of those who traveled that long road to California. Check it out on Audible! (note: there’s some violence, death, animal loss and adult situations, so keep that in mind for sensitive listeners)

More audiobook releases will be shared soon!
