Last year for the holidays, we adopted families whose lives were challenged by having a child with a severe illness. These parents were unable to provide basics for their children, due to medical expenses for treatments. So, Melissa rounded up the TVAS family, and we donated food (gift cards), clothing, toys, games, bikes, and pretty much anything a family could wish for, and delivered the gifts to the families and met the kids!
Stay tuned! We plan to brighten another family’s holiday season this year. Click here for more info!
Thank you. Two very simple, feel-good words. Expressing gratitude is a one of the most beautiful things there is.
There’s something that is your biggest ally and at the same time, your biggest enemy in your VO career. To find this resource/obstacle, go into your bathroom and look in the mirror.
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.” 
Hello fellow voicers! Say hi to one of the most hilarious guys you will ever meet, Brent Mukai. Brent began his path in voice over when a comedian friend introduced him to Dustin Ebaugh (coach) and TVAS. He has attended TVAS classes and workshops since April of 2016. Brent has a BA in Theater and Film from UNLV. He has appeared in several movies and films along with Improv and Stand-Up performances here in Vegas. Most recently, Brent was the understudy for the lead role of Christian Grey in the musical Fifty Shades of Grey, in which he performed over 25 times. 
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.
