Been busy tackling auditions and attending some fabulous casting director workshops. Will talk more about those later. For now, the webcast for the Annie Awards is up and running!!!

It’s funny, I either have so many auditions in one day, my head is spinning and I have no time to blog, or there is nothing and I have nothing to blog about. Feast or famine as they say. Well, it’s all been good. Several great auditions and fingers crossed. Some voice work on spec…
Here’s a first. In my audition the other day, the client asked me to voice match a young boy. No problem. They played the Spanish version of the kid and then asked me to match him, in English but with out the Spanish accent. Okay, I can do that…but wait. They wanted the same sound, pace and…
