Had an epiphany regarding a passion project that I’ve been kicking around in my head for a while now. It would be a *massive* undertaking, but ultimately very rewarding on multiple levels.
…super vague, I know. Still early in the planning stages, though. Perhaps I’ll have more to share later. 😜

Had to step back from VO and improv over the past 1.5 months. Dealing with a sudden medical emergency in the family that required a lot of admin + caretaking while *also* trying to get around with an achilles tendon injury resulting from a bone spur has been exhausting on multiple levels. 🫠

Bless the photographer at the DMV this morning, alerting me to the fact that my shirt was slightly askew after removing my bag, as if that was somehow going to drastically improve the utter tragedy standing before her:

Mmmmaybe I’m crazy for considering it at this point, but seriously contemplating trying out for a house improv team the next time auditions roll around for one that feels like a good fit.

Imagination is the power of the storyteller. Imagine yourself in the scene. See what's around you, who you are talking to, what you are doing. Paint a picture in your mind to give life to your words. #voiceacting #voiceover

At my first lvl 4 improv class tonight, nine people witnessed me singing excerpts from the following:
Pink Pony Club — Chappell Roan
Wannabe — Spice Girls
Bohemian Rhapsody — Queen
Take On Me — A-ha
Straight Up — Paula Abdul
…be incredibly thankful that you weren’t one of those nine people. 😆

Dealing with an excessive noise issue at my place, and after trying so hard to carve out time to record for auditions + projects, it’s wildly frustrating to be hit with yet another setback. 😭
Turns out that my local library just opened a recording lab though, so I’ll be checking that out tomorrow.

Took a Shakespearean improv workshop today and had a blast. Hoping it was a tester for a full multi-week class, because I’d sign up in a heartbeat.

I was reading lines for an audition, and my voice unexpectedly went into full Jennifer Coolidge territory. What a fun lil’ happy accident 🤣

So one interesting (and, ngl, frustrating) thing that I’ve noticed since starting #voiceacting and being forced to listen to myself constantly is that I have a slight lisp that has never been brought to my attention. 🫠

After an #improv performance, I'm absolutely over the moon whenever someone tells me, "that scene was SO weird that I just wanted it to keep going." Very high and meaningful praise, indeed. 😂🥹💛

Love it when friends and family are like, “You’re still doing the voiceover thing? So, why aren’t you working on anything?”
As if all the classes, workshops, auditions, practice sessions, networking, job hunting, booth modification, website building and more are somehow not work…😅🫠

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

I really gotta stop taking time off of work to destress, because the stress sees my PTO request and goes, "oh hey, since you're free..."

Building up my VO momentum again after a stressful few months. Mentorship program starts Monday, and I just signed up for a hot seat workshop happening later this month. Got a few auditions lined up, and a couple of recorded lectures to watch that I wasn't able to attend live.

Got bombarded with a bunch of medical complications and diagnoses and over the past few days. What a way to start the year. 🫠

💯. Fell into this particularly hard recently, and had to remind myself of how much it wasn't helping. A great reminder that everyone's journey progresses differently.
It's a great time to remember that comparing yourself to others only steals your joy. The only person you have to compete with is your past self. Now's a great time to start new things. 😉

Spent the day in the ER. Home now, and my cats have been glued to me all night, which is really saying something considering they're already stage 5 clingers on an average day... 😆🥹💛

Whew, what a workout! This absolutely kicked my butt, but in an educational, supportive and fun way. 😆💛
Being able fluently express a character's various intentions via a language that isn't a known language? It is a valuable skill to have. 😤
Huge thank-you to @jabberdelton.bsky.social for his expertise, insight, direction, and experience in this first-ever Gibberish Workshop! 🔥
