Episode 11- The more, the better- a virtual voiceover hub

This episode is our virtual voiceover hub where, host Yuliya Stancheva chats with six of our very own fantastic voiceover talents.

Despite the restrictions, they all have managed to stay positive and proactive during the lockdown, finding different new ways to be creative.

The first guest in our virtual studio is the Norwegian actor, voice artist and producer Nina Yndis who tells us about her life in lockdown, which has been very busy and productive as you can hear: from recording video games and audiobooks under the duvet in her bed, to collaborating with her flatmates. We play her latest music project – the song “You & I” and as Nina chats about her best diva moments in real life, we listen to her outstanding performance as a diva in our fun video which we created for everyone who is looking for a quick and sure exit of the voiceover industry (we promise a lot of laughs).

The show continues with the Spanish voice actress Montserrat Roig de Poig who shares with us a very personal and deeply touching story; the French actress Félicité du Jeu reads her special tribute to NHS; the Scottish voice actress Blanche Anderson makes us laugh with her alter ego, the weight loss adviser Stacey; the American voice actress Debbie Bridge pops by to say Hi; and the Dutch actor Allon Sylvain reveals his tips on how to stay prepared for the next stage of your VO career.

So have a listen and join us in this virtual voiceover hub full of fun and inspiring messages of hope and gratitude.

Episode 08 -From chaos to calm and clarity

How to find calm and clarity amidst chaos and how to transform our time of self-isolation into a time of self-realisation?

In search of the answers of these, and many more questions, host Yuliya Stancheva has invited into our virtual studio Gabrielle Fritz, an Alternative Therapist, Intuitive Coach, & EFT Practitioner.

As Gabrielle says, we can’t control the situations occurring around us, but we can control our own response towards them, as the way we see something defines the way we experience it.  

With their creative hats on, the voice actors Sally Lomax and Guillaume Laroche have also embraced a positive outlook to their time of self-isolation and have recorded a special bonus material for you.

At the end of the show, we’ll embark on a fun meditation journey with Guillaume and to wrap things up, we’ll share a good laugh with Sally.

So tune in, and let’s make the best out of our time of self-isolation, turning it into an opportunity to rethink and reshape our future!
