Happy New Year, TVAS Fam!

I hope this email finds you happy and healthy.

There’s something about January that feels electric, isn’t there?

Fresh-start energy. Clarity. New-chapter vibes. That beautiful mix of reflection and courage that invites us to ask, “What is my heart really calling me toward this year?”

I’ve been sitting with that question for a while now.

As many of you know, The Voice Actors Studio has been my heart’s work for many years. Laughter, learning, community, careers igniting, confidence growing, breakthroughs, big dreams, and a whole lot of love within four very special walls. Now that TVAS is 100% virtual it’s unreal to see that “in-person” part of our journey together in the rearview mirror.

And now, in the spirit of fresh starts and honest listening, it’s time for my next chapter.

Later this year, my husband Troy and I will be moving back to the Midwest to be closer to family. It’s a decision filled with peace, clarity, and so much gratitude. My heart has been gently nudging me home for a while, toward my family and my roots, and in true New Year fashion, I am saying yes.

Above: My Family. 🙏☺️

Here’s the beautiful part:

The Voice Actors Studio is now officially The Voice Actors Studio Worldwide. We are fully virtual, fully alive, and thanks to you, our loyal talent, we are already thriving together online.

Our workshops, coaching, community, and support continue, just without the limits of a physical address. We are reaching more voices in more places than ever, and that feels incredibly right.

To those who have been with me in person in Las Vegas: thank you. You are forever part of the soul of this place.

To those joining us from around the world: welcome. You are part of where TVAS Worldwide is heading next.

Thank you for walking beside me on this journey, and for letting me walk beside you on yours.

Here’s to new chapters, to trusting our hearts, and to writing a story our future selves will be proud of.

I’ll leave you with this question: What is your heart whispering to you this year? May you be brave enough to answer that call.


With so much love,

Melissa
