Celebrating International Women’s History Month

Listen, I don’t know about you, but I feel like the definition of “networking” has taken on a new meaning. I mean, what even is the concept of networking? Do I have to hand out business cards like I’m throwing shurikens at new clients? Should we have an elevator pitch ready to recite spelling bee style? At THN, we love being in a position where we get to be in the business, and ALSO foster a thriving, supportive community of various relationships within. The beauty of that is getting to know the people we get to work with as they are. People! Who just…happen to work in the same industry.

I’m a Cypriot & Greek-American actress born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Naturally, being a valley girl, I’ve always been curious about the industry! Though I first discovered acting through theatre, I was always an avid lover of video games, animation, and dubbing from a young age, sharing in those passions with my siblings. The moment I learned about voice-acting, the transition to that side of the industry was a no-brainer for me. I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College and jumped right into professional voice work after graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stephanie Southerland is a voice actor based in Los Angeles! She grew up loving stories in every form: Saturday morning/after school cartoons, playing video games, etc. Her mom enrolled her in dance at the ripe age of 2 years old where she learned that she loved dancing and especially the spotlight. She spent most of her childhood performing for anyone who would listen (or couldn’t escape). Her path to voiceover started on stage, where she fell in love with character work and the endless ways a voice can shape a story.
