In-Person Mock Sessions with Andrea Toyias at Rebound Sound Studio!

Andrea Toyias’ in-person mock session workshop was an absolute blast! We’re so inspired by the incredible work everyone brought to the booth. A huge thank you to the talented engineers at Rebound Sound in Burbank for taking such great care of us.

These mock sessions are designed to give voice actors hands-on experience in the booth with direction from an industry professional. For those who haven’t had an in-person session yet, this is a chance to get a feel for the process so you’re prepared when you step into a real session. Even seasoned actors can benefit by exercising their muscles when taking direction from an industry professional and cold-reading for characters they haven’t had time to prep for! The goal is to provide you with the real-world experience you need to succeed.

I’m sick of news headlines…I feel like our collective day to day we’ve experienced so far this decade has been mainline quest after mainline quest after ...phew, that was a close one, let’s refuel and stock up on new gear—wait why are all the prices so high?!— oh hey look, a new mainline quest…! It’s beyond easy to feel hypervigilant about everything going on in games & entertainment…with rapidly advancing tech, layoffs, the constant analysis of what content gets made and why, the economy, how audiences consume media—you name it. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone! I also often find myself lost in the sauce! (If this doesn’t sound like you, don’t be shy, what is your secret??)

Netting in Networking

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.
