I developed a new course design for the asynchronous online acting I class. The purpose of the new design was to make more engaging and user friendly for this unique topic that is quite difficult to teach asynchronously.
I am a talent on a roster for a company called Studio Center, which is where 90% of my voice over jobs come from. The company has a "Top 10 Voices" list on their website where clients can go to listen to their Top 10 Men, Women, and Children voices to get an idea of the talent and professional quality of their roster and potentially choose someone to voice their project and skip the audition process. I was on this list for 7 months, from August of 2024 through February of 2025. This was achieved by auditioning regularly, and performing at a professional level that dramatically increased my bookings. The list is configured based on which talent are requested and/or booked the most regularly, I first noticed myself on this list at #7 and eventually got up to the #6 spot. I have been on their roster for almost 20 years and this is the first time I achieved this honor. Sadly, the auditions slowed down tremendously at the start of the year and I was not able to maintain this status but I am already working to get back on the list.
