Landed my first paid audiobook gig! I'll be working with Renaissance Press to help narrate Shifting Trust by Madona Skaff-Koren. Funding for this project was graciously provided by the Canada Council for the Arts.

I met with Jennifer Sims for a brief consultation to talk about the logistics of getting coaching and a VO demo professionally produced, the state of the industry, and what my options are as a part-time voice actor working remotely.
I attended Hubcity Theatre's Voice Acting Level 2 with Liana Bdewi; a group of us got some live coaching, discussed areas of improvement, and learned more about the VO industry from Liana's perspective.
The bass traps for my home studio are in progress; an NBFC member very generously offered their woodworking expertise to help me build DIY Rockwool bass traps once COVID-19 restrictions let up.
I've been cast as several characters for an animation project led by Brenda Malley; I'm recording from my home studio and many of the other voice actors for the first episode will be recorded by Horace Williams Junior of Little Castle Studios.
