Voices.com Interview
I had a lovely chat the other day with Stephanie Ciccarelli, co-creator of the dynamic voice talent site www.voices.com. Ciccarelli has created a space where voice talent, who are not represented by agents, can post their demos and can find voice gigs on their own. Students are always asking me “What can I do on my own without an agent?”. How about checking out voices.com?
Stephanie also had a bunch of questions about what my experience has been like voicing the role of Muffy on Arthur for the last 16 years. Thanks Stephanie for wanting to know more :)

helpful hints from a casting director
Dee Shipley, a Toronto casting director who has worked on over 45 animation series, offers up some helpful suggestions about auditioning on her website.
I like how she reminds us (the lovable neurotic actor types) that the casting director is on your side and that she wants you to have a great audition. Also, I totally agree that confidence and risk-taking are sure fire ways to make a solid impression.
