Episode 1 - Finding Your Voice and Being Happy with Just Being You
Britt, Bruce and James talk about VO and life experiences we have had over the last few months. How we are showing up, confronting and jumping (or sometimes just smacking right into them) the fear, embarrassment, and "not knowing what you don’t know” hurdles.
You know, stuff like:
- social media love hate relationship
- imposter syndrome
- performance anxiety
- learning new things is hard
- nutrition to fuel your life
Edgar was absent, we missed having his voice and James finally introduced himself to you. Plus lots of discussion in the last 10 minutes about our recent experiences with auditions, in the booth recording, collaborating with directors, marketing execs and managing expectations. As always a story to close us out - Bruce reads an excerpt from Tom Clancy’s The Cardinal of the Kremlin
