"How did you get into Audio Description?" Is a question I get aaaaaall the time. I chatted with Roy Samuelson of ADNA to discuss that, why joy matters now more than ever, the importance of connection, and so much more.🫶 MAJOR shoutout to everyone who supported this. sites.libsyn.com/271301/maren...

My feed has been flooded with AI slop. Everything from more anime "dubs", to reels, to every other ad. And I am so tired. I just want to look at something and not need to be on guard, hesitating to trust in the intentions of everything I come into contact with.

So stoked for you, Adam! And, of course, so so happy that folks will have access to a more accessible TTRPG experience than when I first started. 💖

There's been some chatter again on here about disability, VO, and therefore, accessibility. Thought I'd mention that VO can be used as an accessibility tool! Ex: A friend and colleague of mine has been working on a product that makes TTRPG's more accessible. 1/2

Sometimes when a session is booked, I get super in my head - "will I be good enough? What if I can't step up?" Then, inevitably, as the session gets going, I relax into my training, and my love for the art form. And I let myself PLAY. Just wanted to document this in the hopes that it helps others.

I tend to not post much bc I fear I have nothing interesting to say, soooo... A few things about me: ✨ I'm short af (5'0" on a good day) ✨ My VO goal is to give people permission to feel as deeply as they need ✨ My personal goal is to make sure cutie patooties (🫵) hydrate

If YOU 🫵 want to take your VO to the next level, do yourself a favor and take Cassandra's class. It changed me for the better, both as a person and as an actor. If you want someone to hold you accountable and cheer you on (as long as you do the work), Cassandra's your gal!

I still remember when my sibling awkwardly poked their head in my room and said "Hey, there's this weird show with voice actors that I think you'd like." Crazy to think that 10 years later, #Criticalrole is what saved me and made me want to do vo. Thanks for everything. <3

Also! Remember that auditioning is the job. For just that little bit of time, the character is fully yours. Even if you don't book it, you still got to breathe life into them. Multiple takes allows you to show them off! And, who knows, you may get shortlisted / called to do the project later!

My bad video game habit is playing the first hour or so of something until I get past all the tutorials, deciding I'm not in the mood to play it right now and setting it aside, then coming back months later and not remembering anything I learned in the tutorials but being too stubborn to replay them

I'm not generally one to promote things like this. However, every interaction I've had with Christina, however brief, has always been so genuine and sweet. She, too, has been open about disability advocacy in VO. If you're able, please consider donating - can't think of anyone more deserving. 💖

In my voiceover class, we've been talking about our "Why's" often. Why are we committed to our craft? What drives us during a time with little/no bookings? It has to be bigger than fans, money, notoriety, etc. - something that will never waver. I told the class a condensed version of the truth -
