About two weeks ago, what is EASILY the most important book that I’ve narrated to date released.

This is the resource I wish existed when I was diagnosed.

Narrators spent most of our time working alone, so when we actually get together, it’s like a big group hug.
Here is my latest “group hug” (aka group pic) on the last day of Johnny Heller’s New England Narrator Retreat.

Today is the day I stop procrastinating, put on my nonbinary grown-up undies, and decide what I'm going to read for my coaching sessions at the New England Narrator's Retreat (NENR).
Please wish breakage upon my legs. If you want. Maybe.

I contacted a producer to ask permission to enter a book for consideration in one of the bigger VO awards competitions.
It was a really special project, one that resonated with me pretty strongly.
I got a response back.
I couldn’t submit it. Because they already had. 🥹🥲😭

I sometimes get Nervy about any of my stories written more than five minutes ago, but hearing it like new again, I could be like, "Yeah, still pretty good <3"
Constantly impressed and grateful for all narrators and voice actors do!
