Fan’s 1st Birthday
I was tickled pink yesterday, when the producers of It’s a Small World sent us a letter from a family.

Happy Birthday Makenzie! …

It’s A Small World Goes to Africa
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.

Disney Project
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…
Session 2 with Disney
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!
New Disney Project
Worked my first session yesterday on a new Disney project, and had a blast! There are a lot of characters involved with many different accents from around the world. My two main characters are Dutch and French Canadian. Fortunately, I don’t need to speak the language, I just have to speak with an accurate accent….
