About this event
At this moment we are dependent on videoconferencing more – and for a wider variety of uses – than ever before. Most of us are unused to relying on our voices so extensively to communicate our tone, intention and expertise; the experience can be uncomfortable and discouraging. As a professional voice actor with twenty years of experience, I understand the value of being heard and understood.
