The Sound Stage

We had such a wonderful recording session last week!

We welcomed to the studio the lovely Renovating The Soul host Alexandria Robinson and her guest Dr. Shalli Deyo of Functional Pharmacist NW for what will be an informative and incredible upcoming episode about functional health and the elimination diet. I learned so much from them, and can't wait to hear the final episode!

From Audition → Opportunity: Build an Expert Workflow

“We spend 98% of our time auditioning… the 2% we book is why we do it.”
— Richard Horvitz

Let’s be honest:
Voice acting is auditioning.

If you’re not booking as much as you want, it’s usually not talent — it’s your workflow, speed, and consistency.

This workshop will help you:

Build a repeatable, professional audition process
Make strong, confident choices under pressure
Improve your recording + editing efficiency
Sound like a working pro from your home studio

🎧 Live Audition Practice + Direction
Get 10 minutes in the booth with real-time coaching, playback, and clear, actionable feedback.

🧠 Q&A included — bring your questions about VO, auditions, or the business.

Bottom line:
If you want to book more, you need to audition better, faster, and more consistently.
This class shows you how.

Let’s make something great.

Last week in the studio was something really special.

I had the absolute joy of working with two incredible authors, Dr. Paul Thomas and DeeDee Hoover, as they stepped in to narrate their own audiobook - and wow… they nailed it.

There’s something powerful about hearing a story in the voices of the people who lived it, shaped it, and brought it to life. Their energy was grounded, generous, and genuinely beautiful - the kind that fills a room and makes the work feel effortless.

I feel so lucky to have had the time to get to know them, listen deeply to their work, and help support the telling of their story.

And a big thank you to Blackstone Publishing for the collaboration - always a privilege to be part of bringing meaningful stories into the world. 🎧
