In this week's episode of "Live with Squacky", I answer questions that were sent in on social media from listeners of the show! I address a question about talking toys, imposter syndrome, top things to be coached in and  top things to know when just starting out in voiceover. It's a great episode and I really hope you all enjoy it. If you do, be sure to download and share the episode as well as leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts. Doing so will help others to find the show and increase our listener base.
After this week we are switching to a twice a month format for the show. Things have become increasingly busy lately for my co-producer and I and going to a twice a month format will allow us the time we need to put even more into each episode. So the next episode will release on May 11th! But don't worry, it will be worth the wait. Also, you can go back and listen to all the other episodes that are out if you haven't already - or listen again!!

In this weeks episode of "Live with Squacky", I talk about facing fears in life and being able to move foward. I touch upon the topic of seeking approval from others and about how to go "off the grid" for periods of time because that's something I haven't been able to really accomplish yet!!! If any of you have advice for me on how to do that, send me an email for sure!!

I'm keeping these episodes short on purpose. We will eventually get back to the interview style - but I'm just in a busy time of the year and scheduling is extra challenging at the moment. I hope you enjoy these short episodes in the meantime!!!

Special thanks to "Uncle" Roy Yokelson of Antland productions for co-producing, mixing and mastering this and every episode!

Think outside the box. How many times in your life have you been told to do that?!! We are living in a world now where creating your own content has become the norm. Figuring out how to build followers, collab with each other and learn to thrive in this world are things we are always thinking about. My Special guest today - Brittany Luberda, is an extremely talented singer, actress, and writer from New Orleans, Louisiana. I’m not sure how long it’s been now, but I saw some of Brittany’s singing videos on Instagram and was really impressed. She has a beautiful voice and is so talented! Brittany is currently making one woman videos of all the songs from the musical “The Music Man.” She’s the host of “Coffee Break with Brittany” which takes place on Fridays on Instagram. These sessions are a chance for her to tell her followers what’s happening but also to help connect and share positivity. She has always dreamed of being on Broadway and as soon as it re-opens, I’m sure she’ll be landing roles like crazy!

In this interview, we talk about how Brittany got started as a singer/actor/writer, her Broadway goals and what's she doing to make that dream come true, how COVID has affected her career and so much more! This is a great interview and Brittany is seriously talented! To find out more about Brittany or to contact her, you can visit her website at: https://www.brittanyluberda.com or connect with her on Instagram @brittanyluberda or on FB!
