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? 🙂 #hogwarts #lightshow #universalstudioshollywood #weekendfun #nightphotography #christmas #castle

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!🤗🎉 . . . . #sonicfan #birthdayboy #partyideas #sonicblue #videogames #kidpartyideas
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.

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!

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? ☔️ . . . . . . . . . . . #rain #socal #rainyday #misty #garden #green #finallyfall #umbrella #myretreat #dragons #veggiegarden #naturelover #forest
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. 🤪 . . . . . . . . . #toys #games #critter #cute #squeaky #creaturesounds #actress #voice #tired #redface #happilyexhausted #animalsounds #voiceacting #boothselfie #recordingsession #homestudio #sourceconnect
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? . . . . . . . . . #mypurmist #steam #stayhydrated #airquality #fireseason #blue #voiceover #voiceacting #healthy #sinusrelief #stuffy #healthyhabits
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! @orangeskyaudio #answercreek #ashleyesweeney #audiobook #narrator #historicalfiction #adventure #oregontrail #donnerparty #westwardexpansion #historical #storytelling #audiobooknarrator #greatlisten #audio #orangeskyaudio

But now I love everything sour/fruity when it comes to ice cream! I’m gonna tell myself it’s a reward for completing that #narration of a long #audiobook with lots of accents I’ve been working on all last month. 📖 What’s YOUR favorite ice cream order? #icecream #baskinrobbins #sweettreat #rainbowsherbet #slime #sour #sweettooth #yum #lifeofavoiceactor #baskinrobbins #wildandrecklesssherbet
While I usually love the wildlife at our house (ev While I usually love the wildlife at our house (even the mountain lion!), my family and I watched a really long snake dart out of the bushes and grab a lizard right in front of us in the yard today (snakes. Why does it always have to be snakes? 🐍), so we decided that some quiet, calming Lego builds were a good afternoon activity to shake the heebie jeebies off and give Mr. Snake time to enjoy his lunch and hopefully slither far away. So...I've finally finished Rapunzel's tower! It's super cute. But I'm sorry it's over... I like building things; wish I wasn't so fast at it. Next up...Lego Hogwarts. #tangled #rapunzelstower #disney #lego #hobby #funbuild #disneyprincess #stuffilike #idontlikesnakesthough

Today it's a little rainy at my house and I'm mostly stuck inside at my computer for the day, but it's really nice to look outside and see everything blooming. Little Toby brought me this pretty orangey pink flower "to put in my hair" because he knows I LOVE that sunset color combo. #stitch approves! #tropical #flower #sweetboy #pink #orange #red #pretty #colorful #springtimevibes

Here we are having a blast practicing the "wide mouth frog" exercise in @elley.ray.official 's session! Lots of fun and giggles. 😍 #voatlanta2021 #voiceacting #sillyvoices #characters #bondingtime #goofballs #pencils #alwayslearning #bringyourkidtowork #elleyrayhennessey #animationvoice
