It’s Saturday evening here in Connecticut. I’m nearing the end of my first full day as a professional voice actor.
I’ve created this blog to chart my progress in this new endeavor and as a place to store my notes and weblinks. Perhaps others new on their own journey to become a professional voice actor will find this blog helpful or entertainining.
