Coffee, comedy, positivity and kindness! These are a few of the things I love the most! Today on the show, I’ll be talking with two people that are super pros when it comes to coffee, acting, comedy and being kind, compassionate people. Daniella Monet is an actress best known for her work on the Nickelodeon show “Victorious” where she played the hilarious role of Trina Vega! Daniella has been in various other great tv shows and movies and is seriously talented when it comes to physical comedy and improv, throwing herself into each role with passion and enthusiasm! She is also an animal lover, fitness fanatic, vegan foodie, entrepreneur, Mom to adorable Gio James, and the fiancée of our other great guest today Andrew Gardner. Andrew Gardner is the founder of “Drew Coffee”, Dad to Gio James and an all-around nice guy!! I was able to get in on the first batch of “Drew Coffee” that came out and I can tell you – as an official coffee snob, that it’s fantastic!! It’s smooth, not bitter and has great flavor. When you open the great, clean white package, the awesome aroma of the delicious coffee hits your nose and it’s exciting!! Together, Daniella and Andrew host their great podcast called “Adulting like a Mother Father” where they talk about parenting, relationships, and they have guests on the show too!
In this interview, we chat about Daniella's time on "Victorious", her great improv skills, and how being a Mom has changed her life. I ask her about her business endeavors like "Kinder Beauty Box", "Sugar Taco" and "Sprouted." Her fiancé, Andrew Gardner is the owner/founder of "Drew Coffee" so I had the chance to ask him about how his love for coffee started, what it takes to make the perfect espresso and what his future plans are for his company. These two are expect

On Season 1 – Episode 1 of “Live with Squacky”, I did an in depth interview with Actor/Writer/Director Tom DeNucci. At the time of that interview, the COVID-19 pandemic had just started, his movie “Vault” had just been released and we had a great time talking about that – as well as a variety of other topics! Now that we’re in Season 2 of the show, I thought it only fitting to do a follow up with Tom – to see what he’s working on now and how he’s been coping over the past few months during this crazy time!
In this episode we talk about Tom's role in the movie "Money Plane" with Kelsey Grammer, his upcoming films that are in production, and what it's like to direct or act in a film during COVID times. We also chat about his action figure collection(!), what his superpower would be if he could have one and so much more! This is a fun interview you definitely won't want to miss!!

We’re kicking off season 2 with a superstar talent that I met a few years ago on Twitter.

Chris Newman is an actor and producer, known for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), The Five-Year Engagement (2012) and Love and Honor(2013).
 
 Chris was born and grew up in Troy, Michigan. Always performing for friends but otherwise shy, he began his acting career in college, on a dare. Soon, Chris caught "the acting bug" and never looked back, starring in productions of "Brighton Beach Memoirs", "Agatha Christie's Mousetrap" and Neil Simon's "The Good Doctor". He would later go on to play Stanley Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Lt. Daniel Kaffee in "A Few Good Men", to name a few.
 
 Following his success in theatre, Chris turned his attention to film and studied at the Dramatic Arts Studio, under the tutelage of Christopher Bondy. Chris earned roles in the films I already mentioned, as well as Solomon and Injustice For All.

Chris and I chat about his acting career, how to stay balanced with work and family, superpowers and more!!! You definitely won't want to miss this episode!

For more information about Chris, you can check out his IMDB page here!! Or you can connect with him on Twitter @Chris80Newman, on Instagram @chrisnewman_actor or on FB!!

 Let me tell you about my special guest today – Terry Dubbs! Terry comes by her down to earth sound honestly. She lives in the Midwest, on a farm raising goats with her husband and two dogs.

Her honest sound gets her booked over and over again from Commercial to Political ads, to Telephony and Narration. Her passion for voice over started long before she ever started coaching with some of the industries top coaches. She lent her voice to independent film projects and was constantly asked to record corporate voice mail messages for companies she worked for. Making the transition to professional voice talent wasn’t a stretch considering her voice was already in demand!

Terry’s background in acting has served her and her clients well over the years. Her rates are competitive in the business and auditions are always free!  

I had the chance to meet Terry at the Virtual Mini MAVO2020 conference that I organized and hosted back at the beginning of November this year!! She’s so sweet and down to earth! 

For more info about Terry, you can visit her website at Terry Dubbs Voiceovers or connect with her on Twitter @noahsgranny, Instagram @terrydubbsvo, or on Facebook at Terry Misner Dubbs.

Can you believe we're at Episode 38 already!! I was trying to decide whether we should go to 40 or 50 for Season 1! Haha! I ultimately decided on capping the first season at 40 episodes, so just 2 more to go after this one! We will then take a short break and Season 2 will start in January 2021!! 
My Special Guest today is Bev Standing! Bev is an extremely talented voice actress, a Territory Controller for Canada with “Gravy for the Brain” and she has a great FB group called “#watercooler voiceover chat.” Having spent a number of years in the CBC studios as a production assistant in Radio Drama, Bev has gained the experience that has taught her to respect the importance of professionalism and timing. Add to that nine years in marketing just to round it off. Some of her training includes VoiceWorx, Second City (Toronto), Pirate Radio, Impatient Theatre (Toronto), and the Toronto Academy of Acting. She has also trained with Pat Fraley, Joan Baker, Mary-Lynn Wisner, Cristina Milizia, Tracey Hoyt, Everett Oliver, J.Michael Collins (just to name a few) as well as numerous courses and workshops with such greats as Susan Hart, Kim Hurdon and Jessie Thomson. 

Bev and I met several years ago. I think it was at one of “Uncle”Roy’s BBQ’s – but I honestly can’t remember anymore!!! I had the chance to take an improv class with Bev at VO North in Toronto in 2019 and it was SUCH a great session. Bev is knowledgeable, funny and so kind. 
You won't want to miss this great interview! We chat about how she got started in voiceover, her improv experience, successful marketing strategies, goals and more!! 

For more information about Bev, visit her website at Bev Standing - Voice Talent!

 Today on the show, I’ll be chatting with superstar voice actor and one of the hosts of the VO Meter Podcast, Paul Stefano.
With more than 20 years’ experience, Paul has become an expert at transforming his voice to reflect a wide variety of intonations. Depending on the voice over project – IVR, imaging, narration, character, non-fiction, dual POV – he can change his tone in a heartbeat. From serious and trustworthy, to silly and sarcastic; from warm and wistful, to conversational and sincere – Paul can be counted on to deliver the right style for the project at hand.
Paul and his colleague Sean Daeley just finished up being the official Podcast Partner at Mini MAVO20202 this past weekend! I’ll be curious to hear what he thought of the online event and will also ask him about what else he’s up to in his VO career.

**Special Thanks to Sean Daeley for doing the outro for this episode!!**
