In May of 2016, six years after I recorded my commercial demo, I was sitting on my couch with my four -week old daughter drifting in and out of sleep when my phone rang. I answered and on the other line was a producer from a studio that I sent my demo to six years ago.

After I  cut my demo in 2010 I was totally unprepared for what came next. I really didn't know what I should do with it after that. I sent it to a local recording studio, a podcast a friend told me about and signed up for a casting website or two, but that was about it.

I knew I wanted to pursue voiceover after I took the initial workshop, but knew there was no way I could afford it. I thought my dream would have to wait. But someone suggested to me to ask the coach if I could barter services with her. So, I did just that.
