A few years ago… before COVID, my friend and VO coach Everett Oliver was in
Maryland visiting family. Since there’s a pretty big network of VO people in the
Virginia, Maryland, DC area, we organized a brunch meetup! It was a great
event and we took over a good portion of the restaurant! While I was chatting
with everyone in rotation around the table, I had the opportunity to meet
Sidney Allen! We had the best chat about sketch comedy, voiceover work and
life in general. We talked about how we should collab on a future project and
overall, it was a great conversation. Life in general and COVID got in the way of
us ever working together on a project, but we’ve kept in touch over the years
anyway. Recently, Sidney booked a role in the Adam Sandler film “Hustle”. I was
so excited to see that he’s doing great things in his acting career, and I just knew
it was the right time to ask him to be a guest on my show! And here we are! I hope you enjoy this episode!!

As a voice actor, I always wonder what the thought process is for casting directors when they are listening to hundreds and hundreds of auditions per day! How do they know exactly what their clients are searching for? How do I make sure that I'm performing in a way that will catch their attention?! 
In Part 1 of my interview with Casting Director, Kim Hurdon, we start a great conversation about all things voice acting! Kim Hurdon is both a casting and voice director with 30 years of experience under her belt. She’s been dubbed “The Queen of Voice” by ACTRA and she has appeared as a voice specialist on radio, tv and in print.  She’s cast voices for every voice medium known to humankind.  Kim's love of directing has led her to the animation and gaming worlds where she has quickly become one of the most sought-after directors in Canada.  Her superpower is … of course … the power of supersonic hearing!  Which comes in pretty darn handy.
Kim is such an incredibly talented woman! To find out more about her, visit her website at

It’s relatively common for me to interview people I know in the VO industry. But I like to switch it up sometimes! This episode is a special one because I’ll be interviewing a very talented musician and actor, who also happens to be a good friend of mine. When I first had the idea to start my own podcast, it was a video version for YouTube. I think this was back in about 2014. To be honest, my filming skills were not great, and I was nervous! I managed 2 or 3 seasons of interviews for my YouTube channel, and they did improve over time. But since I’m a voice actor, it eventually made more sense to just switch to an audio only podcast version! So, here we are! My special guest in this episode happens to be the first person I ever interviewed for the show! Jordan Grey (formerly known as Jordan Smith) is a singer/songwriter/actor and all-around talented guy. We met in an acting class I took at a studio in Fredericksburg, VA back in 2012. Jordan has great improv and acting skills, and he does a great job of connecting with the characters he creates or is given. After our year in acting class together, we only talked off and on until 2014 when he had released his first EP called “Apollo” and I asked to interview him. The interview was hilarious, we became fast friends, and the rest is history! I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

To connect with Jordan Grey on Social media, you can find him on Instagram or Twitter @jordngrey.
