Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that remind you of what’s top of mind in the food chain of Life to be thankful for: Family, good health, good friends, Cheetos. There’s another item I’d like to add to the list: Being a voice actor. In a small, quiet space, be it a closet, studio, or if on the road, a pillow fort in the backseat of a car, with our imaginations and beautiful voices, we get to create a vision from a script that someone entrusted us to bring to life. James Dean said “being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that’s all you have.” [Read more…] about What Are You Thankful For?

Joy’s Talent Spotlight: Chris Voors
Hello fellow voicers! Welcome to our premier edition of “Joy’s Talent Spotlight.” I was so excited to invite our fellow student, Chris Voors, to be our very first interview. Chris started his voice over adventure approximately two years ago when he walked through the doors of TVAS. From childhood, he enjoyed pretending and mimicking cartoon characters, and loves anything anime. The TVAS On-Going Workshops are where Chris feels he gained the confidence and skills to prove to himself he had potential to start building his career. Chris says he owes much of his success to the encouragement he received from our Mama VO, Melissa Moats. [Read more…] about Joy’s Talent Spotlight: Chris Voors

New Beginnings!
The Voice Actors Studio, or as I affectionately call it, The Voice Over Mothership of Las Vegas, is celebrating a new beginning. A bigger, brand new studio, new coaches and new classes. Acting and Improv classes, oh my! I don’t know about you, but I’m inspired. I now have opportunities to hone my craft in ways I wasn’t even thinking about a year ago. Ok, I was afraid to think about. I’ve taken acting classes in the past, but I found on-camera work just wasn’t my thing. I found that telling a story in a small, intimate space, behind the mic, was my passion…intimately telling a story. [Read more…] about New Beginnings!
