I was tickled pink yesterday, when the producers of It’s a Small World sent us a letter from a family. They decorated their daughter’s 1st birthday with all the characters and pictures from our animated series. What an amazing feeling to be told you are a happy part of a family’s celebration. Happy Birthday Makenzie! …
The It’s A Small World kids go to China. Ashley (me) finally gets to attend to her fashionista side! These episodes are so sweet. I have heard through the grapevine, that even though there was a huge layoff at Disney Interactive, this show is not dead in the water. Rosetta Stone loves the series and…
Enjoy this sunny Monday with the It’s a Small World kids. http://video.disney.com/watch/up-and-down-ep-6-it-s-a-small-world-4f01d3801d2ffbb60b72f0d2 Join Harald and Ashley, and the rest of the gang as they visit Machu Picchu. I’m hoping to play these characters for another season. Rumor on the street is all positive, still waiting for the final word. This series is just too cute, and there…
This is a sweet little episode where we help a baby rhino find her way home. I also voiced the rhino, and trust me there were many more snorfles, snuffs, and raspberries in the recording session. I’m sure the outtake reel is hilarious. The sounds they picked are adorable and I’m glad I can now add…

For our 3rd episode we went to Scotland! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIJJiSYtSEk Disney is great because not only is this playing on line, it’s also playing in their hotels and on their cruise ships. In this episode I played a Scottish piper. However, if you want to see the real piper in action, check out this clip: http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2013/12/10/bagpiper-surprises-disney-interactive-office/ (click on the piper)…
I have thoroughly enjoyed voicing Harald and Ashley. Two adorable “Small World” kids. Harald is Dutch and Ashley is French Canadian. Both are interesting and challenging accents in their own ways. I would never have been able to master and sustain their accents and the other guest characters in each episode, without the amazing talent and…

One of the best parts about this Disney project, is that I get to work with some really great people. Group reads are always so much more fun! Actors sometimes say things like, “Oh man, I had to learn a bleedin’ accent.” In this case we are “bleedin’” accents… all over each other!This week we recorded 2…
Love working with Kelly Ward! What a great VO director. Today we were kids from Sweden and Japan, as well as our main characters. My 2 are Dutch and French Canadian. Joel Goldes helped keep our dialects straight. What an exercise in focus with accents, and a lot of laughs!
