Welcome Back! The coaches at VAI are thrilled for 2023 and to kick it off they are speaing with the INCREDIBLE Elley Ray! They talk magic, true acting, accessibility, and throw in some antiestablishment for good measure. This conversation really kicked the coaches into gear to maintain their sense of power and wonderment as they imagine, play, and create in 2023.

We've made it to the final episode of 2022 and Season 1! The coaches give their year in review through a series of questions known as a completion exercise. These questions guide you through your year in review to cultivate all the lessons you've encountered as well as set you up for success, in this case, in the new year. The VAI coaches will be picking up with Season 2 in Janurary with a surprise guest!

Completion Exercise Questions:

What did I expect to create in 2022? What did I ACTUALLY create? What did I tolerate (put up with) in myself and others?   What message did that send my subconscious mind? What’s the lesson (what have I learned)? What’s working in my life/career? How do I plan to be of service to myself, my career, and my life in the month to come?

This week the coaches at VAI talk with Tiff's friend Ben Knight. In 2016 Ben awoke in an actor's nightmare when they noticed that something was off with their voice and through seeking medical advice learned they had nodes! Join us in talking with Ben about their journey in healing their vocal cords, untangling the belief that this diagnosis is career ending, and how they take care of themselves today! In this conversation we also touch lightly on the poor accessibility to healthcare actors tend to have, as well as some other industry beliefs we think should be kicked to the curb!

In this episode the coaches of VAI share their stories on what makes their heart sing in their voice acting career. This conversation is inspired by a challenege brought to the Voice Acting Institute from our good friends at Creative Self Mastery. This challenge is about knowing what you are denying yourself in your VO career and then going after it. By doing this you end up creating more of the things that bring joy and worth to your VO business, life, and heart.
