Wehmann Voice
I'm very excited to announce that I'm represented by Wehmann! 🍾🥂 This is my first agency, and I know I'm in wonderful hands here. Thank you Amy & Claire for bringing me on, and I'm looking forward to working together!✨
Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻 Hope it’s spooky!
I never knew how hard the soundtrack to the original Transformer’s Movie goes
The cutest little Siamese baby kitten in the entire universe contemplating the demise of her enemies
This is new baby, Ranni. She scratched my cornea, and I had to go to the eye doctor 😐 but look how cute she is! 🥰

Owed $8,000 in taxes as a bartender this year, so can y'all help this GIF from our game get 8,000 likes so I don't walk into traffic?

This was an adventure #MonsterHunterWilds
Uh…aren’t they in CA? I don’t think that’s legal there. 🤨
Honest answer? My booking ratio is a little under 5%, meaning of (almost) 2,500 auditions, I’ve gotten over 2,300 no’s. It could be the next one or the next 100th. I know actors that saw 1k no’s before a yes. My perspective about it changed when I was told, “that is the job.” Whatever it takes.
I’m so proud of my Voice Acting friends celebrating so many wins right now 🥹 I remember when we felt like things were slow this time last year, but y’all are crushing it in commercial & non-broadcast, rep announcements, and making big upgrades!🫰🏼 Keep the momentum!
We got a #Witchbrook trailer 😭🥹
If you have to scam or manipulate people into voice cloning/Synthetic/AI, you know that it’s theft and wrong.
It seems common for #VoiceActors to wish they would have gotten into it sooner. Having the time and availability probably would have been easier with less responsibilities, but I wouldn’t have been a better designer, marketer, accountant, or business owner. It’s never too late to start! 🎙️
Nooooo!!! I wanted to play it after it blew up in cozy gaming 😭 Is Wanderstop still okay??

Promoting AI crap with #voiceover or #voiceacting? gtfo with that 😑
Apparently, I missed some wild Super Bowl commercials 😅
Ask agents, not voice actors about representation. Agents want to know if you have something they need and can sell, not whether you’re good enough. Just make sure you’re contacting the right agent for what you’re sending (commercial, animation, etc.)
I sent out more beta DMs!
Quick update on beta testing:
1. A lot of ppl posted videos, but I wasn't able to DM you 😢
2. Bsky won't let me scroll past the last 19hrs of mentions, so I might've missed some people overnight!
Solution:
We're going to post an open beta link soon! So look out for it 👀
Great work June 🫰🏼 it’s such a fun show!
Of course!✨The community is mostly very open and helpful, and good luck with your voice acting journey!!
I knew that was you!!! ☺️
Per genre is the norm, and showing range within that genre. That’s not to say they don’t cross over a bit. Doing character work in commercials is marketable and happens for example. The idea is to stand out at what you do well, so don’t be afraid to break the rules - you didn’t hear it from me. 😅
It’s okay; it’s a learning process! It really depends on the type of demo it is, commercial, animation, interactive (video game), promo, narration, etc. and they’re usually between a minute and 1:30s. I recommend listening to other actor’s demos to get an idea of what a demo is and sounds like.
Reels are typically cuts of booked work, and Demos are written & produced specifically for the purpose of being a demo. Even if you haven’t booked a lot, your demo can be anything.
