Unlocking Creativity Through Voice: Kris Keppeler’s Journey in Audio Storytelling


Listen Later

Walt Thiessen and Jodi Lynn welcomed the talented Kris Keppeler, an actor and narrator, to discuss the transformative power of storytelling and the parallels between the stage and real life.

Kris's journey began with a passion for singing, which she initially struggled with, facing discouragement from teachers who doubted her abilities. However, her unwavering determination and a chance encounter with a Gilbert and Sullivan production ignited a newfound love for the performing arts. "I enjoyed it. And then I started taking singing lessons again. And then, of course, I want to be at the front of the stage after a while, so then I had to take acting lessons, and it just snowballed from there," Kris shared.


As the discussion delved deeper, the trio explored the emotional and psychological aspects of acting, with Kris revealing the challenges of fully embodying a character. "I literally felt freaked out," she said, recounting her experience with simulated training exercises that required her to tap into the emotions of a traumatized individual. This insight highlighted the profound impact that the creative process can have on the performer, both on and off the stage.


Jodi Lynn, a self-proclaimed former performer, shared her own experiences with the performing arts, noting how it helped her overcome her fear of public speaking. "I love public speaking. I used to do a lot of public speaking for my job. Oh, cool. And yeah, so I've done a little dabbling, but nothing crazy. I've told that I have, I have a, like, a sexy phone operator voice, so I shouldn't do voiceover, yeah," she said, showcasing her own unique talents.


The conversation then turned to the power of storytelling and its ability to captivate audiences. Kris spoke about her work on a children's animation project, where she voiced the character of an earthworm, and the challenges of maintaining a consistent character voice. "I love doing children's stuff and but staying in that voice for 10 minutes. That's a harsh voice. That's a tough one, that it was not easy," she admitted.


As the discussion drew to a close, Walt offered a poignant observation, acknowledging the unsung impact that Kris and others like her have on the lives of their audience members. "You're making a difference in this world. You're welcome," he said, highlighting the profound and often unseen ways in which artists can inspire and uplift those around them.


The conversation with Kris Keppeler was a testament to the transformative power of the performing arts and the resilience of the human spirit. Through their shared experiences and insights, the trio reminded us that the stage and real life are inextricably linked, and that by embracing our inner performers, we can unlock new levels of personal growth and fulfillment.
