In this episode of the Narrator Roundtable, we discuss parasocial relationships as they pertain to the art form of narration and the entertainment industry in a larger sense, as well as the kaleidoscopic nature of our public personas as narrators… how much does our own authentic presence, fan base, wide-spread, or more insular, recognition play into our work, hire-ability, and craft? And how transparent do we really need to be with our identities in public spaces? We’re joined by seasoned, award-winning narrator, actor, educator, and “OPTok” phenomenon Neil Hellegers to dive into the many angles of this nuanced topic.
