Pop a squat and lemme teach yah something! Here's a little sample of the first full book I've ever narrated: "Where Is California?" by Jennifer Marino Walters and WhoHQ! Thank you @prhaudio.bsky.social for an incredible first experience!
Wanna have a couple more books under my name before I start cold emailing indie authors to narrate their books (fully aware that I might be underestimating myself by waiting until then)! Thankfully, by next summer, that will definitely be the case!

I do not need to have a performance background in order to “make it”. I just need to demonstrate that I can perform effectively. I do not need to have a performance background in order to “make it”. I just need to demonstrate that I can perform effectively.

In addition to happiness, I talk about self-awareness a lot. It's because self-awareness is a tool that allows an actor to assess their own performance inside a given moment. Immediate, present, and in real-time.
Do you believe you? I believe you must, and come as close to the truth as you can. ❤️

The first milestone of actor training is to attain the ability to perform as yourself. To make real your behaviors and reactions to a point that it feels honest and truthful TO YOU, inside any fictitious given circumstances.
That's "good." And it's the fundamental expectation. 💪😤

Sublimely ecstatic to have played the main character, Nobody, in the EN dub of Good News. 🥳
It's a dark comedy about a hijacking and the fixers in our midst. Who? Nobody. At times absurd but poignant. Relevant, resonating, and real.
These stories thrive in the hands of the brilliant director--

These Mitsubishi mini-split units are QUIET. 😤 And inside a room, even with a blanket booth, I'd wager the mic won't hear it.
My office is a comfy 76 degrees year-round. If feasible, I'd recommend a Mitsubishi mini-split for your studio.
This is not a sponsored post (sponsor me Mitsubishi!) 😆

“Selena I love that you’re really trying to play and get into the character when you read lines, but you gotta remember to face the mic when you’re speaking. The line isn’t going to be heard well if your mouth is pointed down!”

This industry is filled with stories of "I was unhappy in my adult life/work and now that I'm a voice actor (or other creative craft/field), I'm much happier."
And I'm quite certain that those folks longed for PLAY. That it had degraded over time, as "adulting" took over.

I've always been a big believer that the table is always big for anyone who wants to sit and share it with others. There is always room. There are always enough chairs. All that to say, I am rooting for each and every one of us to make it, and I hope to work with you some day!
