S3 E8 - Getting Animated Ft Kristin Paiva
In our final episode of season 3 *sniff* we are joined by animation casting legend, Kristin Paiva!
For anyone lucky enough to work with, or meet Kristin, you’ll know what a genuine and joyful person she is and she brought all that energy and more to the podcast.
In this episode she shares her journey from working as a casting and voice director for Disney to launching the incredible Paiva Institute and how she plans to support underrepresented voices and future directors in the industry.
We chat about the challenges of casting, commons mistakes Voice Actors make, and the magic that can be found. We also discuss the importance of originality in voice acting and how improv can help Voice Actors across all genres, amongst much, more more.
This is a hugely informative episode and hopefully will bring you a laugh or two too.
Thank you to Kristin for being so incredibly generous with your time and sharing of your experience, we are extremely grateful!
Our final Voiceover of the Week winner is the wonderful @katenieland for her hilarious portrayal of Winnie Winnington in the new Paw Patrol, excellent work Kate 👏🏻 go check it out.
Our final thanks goes to you for joining us this season. For every like, share, review and affirming comment you’ve sent our way we are hugely humbled and grateful, thank you and until we see you again, happy voicing.
