Voice acting offers a unique career path, where your chronological age doesn’t necessarily have to reflect your voice age, or the age-range of the work you take on. Audio Engineer, Producer and Coach, Donovan Weyland joins Stephanie and Julianna in the studio, where they discuss the unique attributes of child voices, how to tell authentic child voices apart from the adults who are pretending, and more. They also dive deep into what to expect if you’re a parent of a child who shows voice acting talent, including how to put on your ‘best performance’ in your supportive, parental role. Hosts: Stephanie Ciccarelli, Julianna Jones, with special guest, Voice Over Actor and Coach, Donovan Weyland. Inspired?
