What does it take to write a novel? Dedication? Patience? How about a dream?

Danielle McDonough has that and MORE! Most of all she has the ability to take a flicker of an idea and see it through to its final stages. 

How, you ask? She will give you some morsels of the behind the scenes of authoring and self publishing in this interview, but I will tell you now that it's NOT by quitting her day job and sitting in a cabin for months at a time all by herself. 

Danielle's ideas continue to flow, and her readers can look forward to pages of fun D&D inspired fantasy and Dystopian coming-of-age stories!

Sounds like fun right? Check out the first chapters and more here: https://www.daniellenmcdonough.com/

You want that insider scoop, don' cha?

Well, get ready for a story of destiny and hard work with a healthy scoop... of the inside scoop, with Kelly Moscinski!

Mitch and Mike have never destined to own anything other than a large library of indie board games. Kelly on the other hand had bigger aspirations. She knew she would own The Voicecaster, a cozy casting studio in her new town - LA.

From humble beginnings in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to being one of the most well known people - granting wishes and making dreams in the VO industry, Kelly's story is straight out of a movie.

ALSO, all of her knowledge of the industry isn't just locked up in her noggin, Kelly likes to share! She hosts a free podcast, where her and fellow casting veteran Kathryn Horan discuss VO tips/tricks/everything else. Voicecaster has workshops, groups, accountability, and all sorts of stuff for a new or established voice actor to improve their craft and career.

Wowza! If you told us that we would be interviewing talk-show ROYALTY a couple years into this podcast, we would have said "wow, I can't believe you can see the future."

THE Rolonda Watts is here and she brought good vibes, great advice, and her playful spirit! She left the EMMY at home...

You may know her from countless things such as the 90's talk show "Rolonda", "Professor Wiseman" on Curious George, the announcer for "Sherri", stand up comedy, and she might even be your VO coach!! 

Rolonda's credits, accomplishments, and "whats nexts" could fill up several airplane hangars, so instead of me telling you all about that, come hang out and listen to some great stories and uplifting moments. 

First, Mitch & Mike's listeners get a discount on Rolonda's Voice Acting Master Class here: MYVOICES20 at https://students.rolonda.com/

This is a call to the universe. Bring Lana Longbeard to the United States!

Or even better, bring Liana Bdéwi to Mitch & Mikes VO Journey!

We did it! Liana came to hang out with us weirdos to chat about her outrageously well rounded journey. From theater school and stage, to puppetry and VO. From Toronto to L.A. and who knows where to next (we know). 

We'd like to believe that we will walk shoulder to shoulder with her, but to Liana we say "see you at the top!"

Susan Cooper is not just a voice actor. She's a creative and a crea-TOR.
A story writer, producer, advertising insider, romcom and horror enthusiast, and yet another GREAT hang.

When an industry is missing something, it takes the most motivated of us to fill that void and create something seemingly out of thin air. Susan is one of those people. She MUST do things as if pushed forward by some invisible force.

Lets be more like Susan, make a plan, set a goal, and do the friggin' thing.

Susan is the creator of The Romcom Formula:
"The Romcom Formula is a scripted romantic comedy audio series about love, control, and what happens when someone who knows romance a little too well decides to play matchmaker in real life."

Mitch and Mike are enjoying it, so will you!

Mike Ciporkin is himself through and through...until he COMPLETELY morphs into another character!

His journey may sound familiar. Get the training, get the knowledge, get the auditions, get those jobs! Sounds easy? Sure, if you're like Mike and audition and put yourself out there through every avenue possible only AFTER you tuck your kids in at night, and just BEFORE you wake up for work before the sun comes up. And, do we all dig as hard into all of the nuances of VO like he does? Who can say. 

Mike has and shares the knowledge and he's loaded with stories. Like always, we barely scratched the surface...

Robb Smith was fifteen years old when he figured out what to do as a career. Just a young lad. Of course, he couldn't know that it would lead him to be interviewed by the greatest and best podcasters in the world...Mitch and Mike.

Wait, you're telling me Robb has his own podcast called Chewing the Fat with Big Robb? AND it's in the top 5% of podcasts of all time? ANNNND Robb leads with empathy and listening rather than awkward banter? Okay, maybe he's the greatest and best podcaster.

In this episode Robb leads us through the highs and lows of being a radio jockey, podcaster, and with the blessing of his wife - a voice actor. Robb wears his heart on his sleeve and lives life true sincerity. It's disgusting. I mean, It's beautiful.

Listen to his far superior podcast here: https://www.chewingthefatbr.com/

This week...
We have the witty wizard with words...
The tricksy troll of the Thesaurus...
The delightful dictionary devil himself...
Jason Beard!

Jason is known in the world as the creator of Shoestring.TV.
Which brought us Leo Brawn, Topaz & Stillman, Magnetar, and perhaps some other top secret projects that no one is supposed to even remotely mention for fear of their entire life falling apart at the hands of the stillmen.

WE know Jason as a good friend. He's a heck of a writer and a great guy.
We'd bet he's even a good dad and husband.
