Voice over people

     I have been taking voice over acting classes for over 2 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how truly supportive and wonderful this group happens to be.  Tonight I was at a VO event and this lovely new student came up to me and when I introduced myself she said she kept hearing  my name and people were saying nice things about me.  She very kindly asked,  " How many classes will I have to take before I can become an Annalisa?"   What a very sweet thing to say!  I, of course, told her I had paid them all to mention me.  It's my new marketing strategy  ;-)

    I've also recently discovered that even though I'm neurotically fearful of being judged physically, I really do want to do on camera acting as well as hide in the safety of the  "booth".  Whodathunk?  I got into voice over based on being fed up of being "sized up" unfairly and here I am trying to face that fear at 40 just because I found I liked the filming process?  As if wanting to do Musical Theatre wasn't a kooky enough dream.  I must be outta my head!  I also know as long as I am doing something creative that I love, I won't get depressed.  If I stop ..I'm sure to get the blues!
