Ever been told something was impossible, only to prove everyone wrong? That's exactly what Susan Glow and her daughters accomplished when they built a thriving voiceover business from their Florida home—despite industry insiders claiming it couldn't be done outside New York or LA.
Susan pulls back the curtain on her family's remarkable journey from recording in a closet with winter clothes as sound dampening to establishing a professional studio that's now "stamped approved" by major studios worldwide. She shares the persistence it took to secure that first agent who took a chance on them, becoming the only talent on their roster not based in the tri-state area.
What makes this story extraordinary is that it happened over a decade ago—long before remote recording became standard practice. In those early days, booking meant hopping on planes to record in person, surprising clients who had no idea they'd traveled from Florida. Now, with clients including Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix, and Amazon Kids, the Glow Girls' home studio connects them seamlessly with production teams across the globe.
Beyond the technical aspects, Susan reveals invaluable insights about what clients truly seek in child voice actors: authenticity. "When a client hires a kid to do voiceover, they want to hear that kid's voice—not someone putting on a voice," she explains, sharing how this understanding guides her approach to coaching and creating customized demo scripts.
Whether you're a parent supporting a child's creative dreams or someone forging your own path in a competitive industry, this episode offers practical wisdom about persistence, strategic investment, and the power of refusing to accept limitations. Because as Susan reminds us: "Don't tell a mom no!"

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We had that one agent , that one agent that took a
chance on us and they were basedin New York and they got some
opportunities from LA throughthem and opportunities in New
York and through the Canadiananimation markets and such.
So New York was a good hub forus.
We were in the same time zonewhen they booked something.
I would get on a plane and flyto New York, wow, and nobody
(00:23):
knew the clients.
They would be recording withthem and they'd say, oh, where

(02:03):
I am so excited to be here withthe Susan Glow Girl.
You are killing it.
I'm so glad you're here.
This is such a long time coming, by the way, and I want to
thank you for being here,because we've been talking about
this and so many other thingsand working on ideas together
for like years now.
Yes, right, a very long time.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is a full circle moment, for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Full circle moment and I just want to say like,
congratulations on all thegirls' successes, and so much is
thanks to you too, and you'rejust.
You work so hard at it and it'sjust.
It's great because this podcastreally is like for the family,
like for the whole family,because it's a family business.
Even though this is the kidsdoing stuff, it's a family
(02:47):
business, yes, and I'm justinterested to hear, because the
girls have done and accomplishedso much and remain just such
good, wonderful people.
They're beautiful, talented,smart, but they're like good
girls you know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
so just all around I'm just really proud of this.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
This is like the pinnacle of kind of what people
would shoot for, you know sothank you.
Oh, yes.
So I was just curious.
I'm just going to throw outquestions to start, just
wondering, like, speaking ofstarting, yes, what was that
like?
First getting the girls signed,you know?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
it actually was very difficult, really.
Yeah, it was really difficultfor us to get signed.
Now, before Cassie and Sabrinastarted doing voiceover, they
did do a little bit of on-camerawork, some commercials, some
print, you know, some work forDisney, little things like that.
But as they got into thebusiness, the part that really
(03:44):
interested them was thevoiceover.
So, you know, we were in Tampaat the time, you know, so, being
in Florida, not exactly a hotspot for voiceover at the time
and I was like my kids want todo voiceover and everyone goes,
no, you can't do that.
You can't do voiceover fromFlorida, you have to be in New
York or LA.
And so there were no resources,there was no template, there
(04:08):
was no model, there was nopodcast, right, I didn't know
where to begin, I didn't knowwhat to do.
I knew that my kids wanted totry this.
They always loved singing,storytelling, reading, acting
things out.
I just felt that this was anatural next step, for you know
what they enjoy doing and youknow don't tell a mom no,
(04:30):
especially not this mom honey.
Don't tell a mom no, don't tella mom, no, you can't do it from
Florida.
So the process actually to getstarted.
And remember, Cassie andSabrina are 17 and almost 19 now
.
They have been doing voiceoverprofessionally for over 11 years
.
Wow, yeah, so 11 years, youknow back when we were starting.
(04:53):
This is pre-COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
This is pre.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, remote is the norm.
Yeah, now, this is before anyof that, right.
So we started so long ago itjust wasn't a thing.
So to get signed for voiceover,which primarily at that point
was just New York and LA, wasextremely difficult.
People suggested to me well,why don't you try to get an LA
agent for on-camera work and seeif you can get in that way?
(05:19):
And I said, but that's not whatthey want to do, right?
And so there just wasn't astraight path.
So you know those memes thatyou see online of.
You know here's what successlooks like, or here's the
straight line, and here's theline that we took.
Ours is like that bowl ofspaghetti thrown up against the
wall.
And yes, really the way itstarted is, I just started to
(05:41):
find outlets for them topractice voiceover and before we
got signed, we actually werejust working on our own.
They were booking on their ownbefore we got signed to an agent
.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And how were you?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
finding those opportunities.
We actually started with onlinecasting.
Okay, so that's how we gotstarted.
You know, I had enough littlevoice samples of them to create
profiles online and we wouldjust audition online.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh, that's amazing and that's really sort of where
they cut their teeth.
How were you recording thosevoice samples?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh my goodness, when I see the booth that we have now
versus how we started.
We had a blue Yeti mic.
We would hold up our scripts onmy cookbook recipe stand.
Yes, scripts on my cookbookrecipe.
Yes, we were in our very smallsliding door closet with winter
clothes that we no longer usedfrom.
New England and blankets, and sowe just recorded and I knew
(06:35):
nothing, I didn't know how to doit, but the girls talent came
through and their authenticityas a child voice, you know, came
through and they startedbooking and so the process to
get signed.
We actually just started doingthe work.
You know how they say.
Kind of the solution to, youknow, not knowing what to do is
just take a step, yes, take astep, yes.
And so we started with onlinecasting and we started to have
(06:59):
some success there.
So after we started gettingsuccess with online casting and
they had a few jobs under theirbelt, I was able to start
building their portfolio andthen I used that money to invest
in classes, invest in betterequipment, invest in a demo.
So I started reinvesting atthat early point of their career
(07:21):
you know, they were just doingit for fun.
This was their creative outletwhen they were six, seven and
eight and I used that money toinvest back into their marketing
profile essentially Right andjust started networking.
We were taking classes, we weretrying to connect with people in
New York and LA, we were takingcoaching workshops and we were
(07:43):
just trying to get out there andnetwork, so a lot of it was
literally me pounding thepavement like I was a
door-to-door salesman.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I love it and you honestly, like I still see you
out there working it, which,again, perspective is everything
right, like we can have theseillustrious career resumes and
then really inside we're like,dang, I need to get more work.
Yeah, but honestly, it's greatand it really does show that
it's an ongoing process becauseyou're their manager officially
(08:13):
as well, and so you're out there, you're not just reactive,
you're very proactive, which isgreat.
That's a good little segue,because I was going to ask next,
because you do everything fromyour remote studio, right, I
mean?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
occasionally you'll come.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Do you come in at all ?
Even the Disney Junior recentone was that also done from home
?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, you know, to continue on how we got signed,
so when they had built up enoughof a portfolio, we eventually
we had that one agent, that oneagent that took a chance on us
and they were based in New Yorkand they got some opportunities
from LA through them andopportunities in New York and
through the Canadian animationmarkets and such.
(08:55):
So New York was a good hub forus.
We were in the same time zone,right, we were their only talent
, not in the tri-state area.
Wow, yeah.
So we were the only ones whojust took a chance on us because
of our profile, the demos,their bookings.
They took a chance on us and wegot onto their roster and
Cassie and Sabrina went on tobook, you know, multiple jobs
(09:16):
for them.
And at that time again remember,this is still all pre-COVID
when they booked something, Iwould get on a plane and fly to
New York and nobody knew theclients.
They would be recording withthem and they'd say, oh, where
do you live?
And I'm like Florida.
They're like what Exactly?
You came in here.
So some of those first ones.
(09:36):
And then for Disney, cassiebooked that pretty early on in
her career.
She was on Vampirina.
We flew to LA to go record that.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean talk about dedication and honestly, because
you need to a lot of times inyour slate say where you're
based.
So would you say we're basedthere.
Aka, I will fly there, I willbe there.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You know, back then we didn't have to slate your
location as much.
I think that became morecommonplace after covid, yeah,
when they wanted to know wheresomebody was.
But we weren't slating ourlocation back then because it
wasn't even a thing.
Right, yeah, you're just in newyork, or la, that's it, that's
what's so great about, like now.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
What a time to be in this business now like to be
able to do this and set up yourhome base recording.
I'm looking at you.
It looks like that's a Neumann.
It is, you are correct.
Ding, ding, ding.
Some girls like Neumanns.
Baby, I like Neumanns.
All right, that is gorgeous.
Can you tell me like a littlebit about your setup?
Where are you right now?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yes, so we moved to Orlando and of move, picking out
this house when we were havingit built was to have a dedicated
space for recording.
Amazing, yeah, and so this isabout like a maybe like a 50 to
60 square foot dedicated area inthe house that we had
acoustically treated.
It's set off from the rest ofthe house so that it's quiet,
(10:57):
and so the whole place isacoustically treated and sound
panels, sound panels andeverything, and, and if you
can't, see them.
They also have the a lot ofimagery of actual roles they've
played, which I love so much, ifyou check out their instagram
too.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You can see in their website like sometimes they'll
post videos of them actuallyworking and you can see their
setup behind.
It's really fun.
It makes it like fun to go inthere too and and get to work.
I'm sure, yeah, it's like youknow, get your game, face on
yeah, exactly come in here.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes, so that's a neumann tlm 102, yes, which is
really nice and and then welooked into a steinberg ur12
inner, All right.
And then for everything else,you know I use Audacity on my
laptop.
I use my laptop whenever thegirls are doing dubbing or if
they're recording to picture orif they have to see animatics.
(11:47):
We have enough room in here toset it up that they can be
watching the monitor whilethey're recording.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's great.
Do you have a special fastWi-Fi or anything for that we?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
do we do fast Wi-Fi or anything for that?
We do, we do.
We do not have wired internet,but we have 5G and we only
dedicate.
You know, all other devices areoff it in the house when we're
recording, so that we staydedicated whenever we're in
session.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That is so awesome.
I mean because literally nowanyone in the world can
confidently book them.
Yes, you know, yes, I mean ofcourse they're extremely
talented.
But just knowing that you knowyou guys are set up, it really
does not matter that you don'tlive in LA or New York.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
No, and our recording sound, our booth, this setup,
this whole chain that we haveand this specific space has been
stamped approved by multiplestudios New York, LA, you know,
by multiple studios New York, la, you know, London, australia,
you name it.
Now they know that our studiois at level and so now it's not
an issue anymore, but it took awhile to get there.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It took a while I mean we invested in that over
the years, right, right At thatlevel.
Oh, that's so great and it's soso worth it.
And so what we don't see is youhave a little space to hold the
scripts we do.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
We have a music stand that we use.
You know the script stand thatyou know when they're recording.
We'll set it up right in,exactly in position so that they
can just focus on their scriptand be on mic at the same time.
We have a pop filter.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yes, and is that not Stedman?
But it's like a, or maybe it'slike a wire type of one.
It's not cloth, it's not likeno, it's not cloth, it's like
mesh, it's mesh metal yes, meshmetal, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And then the headphones.
You know, whenever they have tolisten to a client, we're
connected in on the headphones.
And then I always record backupthrough.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Audacity oh, that's awesome.
And then are you on SessionWire or what do they ask you?
Are there different things?
You're are SourceConnect or areyou like do you have
memberships and things to allthat?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And how often do you get asked Like is there a
frequency like oh, it's usuallysession wire, so we use a couple
of different things for when weare in a session.
If we are working with a clientlike a live client directed
session.
They will either connectthrough Google Hangouts or Zoom,
some sort of video conferencingconnection, and then we will
(14:03):
record on our end.
Oh awesome, so we're recordingall the audio and then that way
they can see each other.
They usually say hello, say hiat the beginning and then shut
off the video just to stayfocused on the recording and to
save bandwidth, and we'll record.
Otherwise we can use somethinglike Source Connect, which of
course, is audio only, and thebeautiful thing about using
Source Connect is they'rerecording on their end and so we
(14:26):
are purely just focused ondelivering the script, not
recording.
And then other clients of oursdepending, especially in anime
or dubbing.
You know we might use SessionLink, but primarily it is Zoom,
zoom and Source Connect.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
This is so cool, okay , so, oh, I was going to ask do
the girls have return clients,like where you've booked
something for a company, let'ssay once, and then they kind of
kept coming back to you guys yes, yes yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So that is our favorite.
Over the years they havedeveloped a portfolio of clients
that come back to them time andtime again.
So great, and some clients thatwork with both of the girls,
and so it's always just thatnice.
You know, when you know someone, you know how they work, you
know how they operate, you knowhow they like things delivered.
So it's just that familiaritywith each other that makes the
(15:15):
session go so fast, so smooth,and a lot of times you're like,
oh, say hi to your sister for meor you know, oh, which, which
glow girl do I have today?
And you know these clients thatcome back.
You know, they know what toexpect from Cassie and Sabrina
and vice versa, and you know,for example, one of our ongoing
clients at this point.
The sessions are five minuteslong.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They know exactly what it is and they know exactly
how to do it.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean Cassie and Sabrina.
Both of them do this.
You know, with this ongoingclient, we get on the call, we
talk for a while.
How's the family?
Hey.
How's college going?
Hey, how's that next theaterthing that you're?
You know because we've gottento know them over the years and
then, oh yeah, let's record.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yes that's right we were supposed to do.
Do that.
I have a regular client which Ilike to say like this started
out as it was supposed to be onething and it's been 16 years
now, which is amazing.
Well, disney publishing now but, one producer that I would work
with all the time, named rob,it got to the point where I can
read his mind like I can.
If he shifts his shoulders likethis.
I'm like, oh, he wants me to doit more.
(16:16):
Like oh, he maybe, like I wasjust going to say that, thank
you, you know, but you start toknow what they want and what
kind of ABC reads they mightwant and like why, wouldn't you
want to rehire that person theyknow?
You know, so that's so great,I'm so glad you guys have that
and I want that for everybodylistening, you know, but it's
(16:37):
not always the job.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You're given the script, you're given the specs,
maybe a rough cut storyboardsyou record on your own record.
You know three takes of eachline, clean up the files,
deliver it, and it's, you know,just back and forth.
And that's how we record.
Other times when you're, youknow, meeting a new client, that
can always be, you know, justlike a little bit nerve wracking
(16:58):
, not nervous because they'vebeen in the booth a thousand
times, but just that.
You know, learning how a newdirector works knew how you know
how somebody else.
I remember one time Sabrina gotthis piece of direction and they
couldn't see her face,thankfully, but they said her
reaction to me and she's lookingat me in the booth, going what
does that mean?
They said, can you be a littleless ta-da?
(17:22):
And she was like sure, and youknow, eventually you know we got
there.
And then sometimes you knowCassie is in a session and she's
got a team in LA on one sideand she's got a team over in
Europe on the other side andshe's watching the monitor and
someone speaking in her ear andshe's recording.
And you know you could have oneperson on the line doing a
(17:43):
remote session or we've had, upto you know, 1015 people
listening at the same time.
So wow it's it's definitely adifferent energy, that's, and a
lot of cooks in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
A lot of cooks in the kitchen, yeah, sometimes the
cooks need to prove that theyneed to be there by making notes
that don't need to be made, butthat's for another episode and
I'm just excited for those ofyou listening still.
Just, you know, I hope you guysare are starting to visualize
yourselves in this situation,you know, and starting to think
about how am I going to getthere?
(18:15):
Because you can get there.
These guys are booking andthey're in the industry with
these amazing resumes and ableto walk around down the street
without being mobbed bypaparazzi.
You know, which is so great, Ithink, personally, the best way
to be successful, personally,this is so cool.
Okay.
So this next question is it'slike very open-ended and I feel
(18:38):
like we could talk about itforever, but I was just
wondering rather than advice.
I more so like to ask if there'sany mistakes that you see
people make or want to preventsome of our listeners from
making.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That line to success was the spaghetti against the
wall.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Because I've had at one point just to try to move
forward and to try to take thatnext step you know, so many
irons in the fire at the sametime and trying to see what
works and trying to see you knowwhat's going to connect and
what's going to get us to thatnext level.
But if I could look back, Iwould say the biggest mistake
that I made was very early on.
(19:16):
Now.
Mind you, I had really wantedto get them into the business.
Yeah, and everybody said no,right, right.
And so I eventually found thisone mom whose kid had one time
done a voiceover because he wasalso on camera in that
commercial, and they just askedhim to do the voiceover and I
said where did you record?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know, like I was just trying anything to get some
information.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And so she connected me with the person that recorded
, and so I'm just going to givemyself a little grace here.
I really wanted them in.
I maybe was seeing stars anddidn't quite see what's in front
of me.
Long story short, he turned outto be a very cheesy radio guy.
Oh gotcha, no, no, no, no, no.
On the plus side, cassie andSabrina did get practice
(20:02):
stepping up to the mic andreading different scripts and
such.
But it was like yeah, I can dothese lessons and at the end
I'll make you a demo and you'lldo this.
And so I was like that soundsgreat.
And so they got practice on themic, but not that many lessons,
you know.
They didn't really knowanything.
They were so brand new.
And he went and recorded themand said okay, I've got your
(20:23):
demo for you.
I was so excited to get a demo.
I was like this is going to bemy ticket, I just need their
demo.
And then all these doors aregoing to open.
And you know that time when youthink everything your kid does
is great.
And every single drawing getsmagnets up on the refrigerator
and you know they can do nowrong, right, I will tell you.
(20:44):
When I got these demos back, Iwas so excited because I was
like this, we're finally makingprogress.
And I listened to those demosand I was like, wow, these are
bad.
I'm like I love my kids so much, I think they're talented, I
think they have potential, buteven I know as their mother, I
(21:05):
can't put this out.
I can't put this out.
These are terrible.
I've heard them do betterplaying in the family room with
their toys than this.
So I think the biggest mistake Imade was rushing in to get a
demo, one before they had reallyhad enough experience and two
with someone who clearly was notqualified to be doing a demo.
(21:28):
I let that get ahead of mebecause I wanted it so badly.
I wanted to book, I wanted tomove on, but that was probably
my biggest mistake.
Thankfully, I didn't send itout anywhere because I always in
the back of my head, I was likeyou don't have a second chance
to make a first impression, andif I send this demo out and I
make another one in a year, no,that doesn't work.
(21:51):
You already sent out thegarbage.
So you can't make that thatmistake, and so I.
I think that was the biggestmistake I made early on was
making a demo before they wereready.
Yeah, with someone who wasn'tqualified, who didn't know the
market, who didn't have anyexperience in the industry.
So that was my biggest mistakeyeah, well, thank you for
(22:11):
sharing that that is like,because it's true we've all kind
of done that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You know that too fast thing and you're just like
because I want it, so I want itso bad, yeah, yeah, and even
just knowing what auditions areout there and what, what they're
like, and if you're kind ofreading something that is, I
don't know, that sounds like aquote.
Unquote demo script.
I guess you know, and yeahsomething I feel like I hear is
just like too loud, too big, toota-da.
(22:39):
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And you know what Now Sabrina would be able to tell
you what that meant.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
No, but I just mean, you know, so often these people
are looking for like just thatgenuine kid voice, you know
which doesn't require you tostand with your feet, you know,
hip width apart, with your handson your hips and just screaming
a line out you know that'sreally not what it is, and so I
do, I do hear that and I justlove that so much.
(23:07):
And I love that you're talkingabout the bad demos, because you
and I have combined forces tohelp people create demos.
Yes, susan is an amazing writeras well.
She crafts demo scriptsspecific to your child, so she
will interview your child andsee what it is they actually
(23:29):
like.
So when they're talking, youknow, when they're delivering
this commercial script, thatit's genuine.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's what clients want, right, that it's genuine,
that's what clients want, right.
When, when, a when a client ishiring a kid or a teen to do a
voiceover whether it'scommercial or animation, it
doesn't matter what the genre is, they want authenticity.
They want to hear that kid'svoice.
Not putting on a voice, notsomething funny, not something
you know imitation, yeah, notdoing a voice.
They want to hear your voiceexactly.
(23:54):
And so that's what I havelearned.
I mean thousands of auditionsthat Cassie and Sabrina have
done, that I have directed andedited and submitted every
single one, and you know demosover the years that I have
helped with, assisted with,created, drafted, and the
commercials that they've done.
I just, whether I like it ornot, it's in my head, yeah, and
you can hear that thing.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I have an industry that's a good one.
That's not yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, and so now you know knowing what clients want
and what they're looking for.
That's what I put into my demoscripts and I want it to be.
You know, when we're partneringon something, for it to be
authentic.
So you want it to be somethingspecific and exciting and
personal to the kid, becausethat's when their real voice
comes through.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Exactly, exactly.
So that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
If you just love broccoli so much like we're
going to write you a broccoliscript.
Yeah, absolutely Do it.
If you can sell broccoli, allthose clients will be hiring you
.
Oh, you know what Exactly?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Which?
I do actually love broccoli now, which is so funny.
I love that.
So, if it's okay with you, I'dlove to play a little sample of
Sabrina's demo Okay.
You guys check this out.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
The hilarious game you know and love now has all PG
rated content for mixed companyin what do you mean?
Family edition?
Compete with your friends andfamily to create the funniest
memes.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Laughter not included but likely to occur.
Wasn't that amazing?
She's so good, oh my gosh.
So, written by Susan anddelivered by the one and only
Sabrina Glow, and I produced themusic and background.
You know sound effects andthings like that.
So we're a fun little team overhere.
I love it.
And who wouldn't want to workwith moms?
You know, come on, we feel yougirls, we get it done.
(25:32):
Yes we get it done right, nomatter what, oh my gosh.
So also do you, as we're kindof closing out here and again.
This is like a family, acommunity, like we don't
gatekeep here.
We want everyone to win and getbetter and grow.
And so I'm curious do you alsocoach?
Are you available for coaching,mentoring, things like that,
(25:54):
and how would people get intouch with you for something
like that?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, we are available All of the glows.
A lot of times I will doconversations and sit downs with
other parents just wanting tobounce ideas off of it.
You know kind of like how weare today just asking questions
and how do I do this and what doyou think is the right next
step which I'm always happy todo because, again, I had no one
to call Right and so I'm happyto pay it forward.
(26:19):
I've got all this knowledge inmy head.
Somebody, please use it.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Right and a girl off in college and one on the way
too, oh my, goodness that'sright.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
And then I'm always available for audition coaching
and Cassie and Sabrina bothoffer coaching, which is
exciting for the kids, I think,to work with kids who have done
it themselves right, they'vebeen in the booth.
They understand, you know, theyknow how to connect and the
voices you know are so close.
I mean, they're close in age,there's someone to look up to,
but they're not so far removedthat they can't relate Exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, Again, you're not just talking to a mom which
we're cool moms, we're cool moms, but yeah, but being coached by
, yeah, like a, a someone whofeels like a peer, because the
kids kind of like to look up andfancy themselves a little bit
older and they're just againsuch sweet girls Like you could
mess up in front of them and notbe, you know, embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Don't take their extensive resumes to you know,
feel like they're, you know,untouchable.
They are just really down toearth and amazing.
This is so cool.
I could go on and on forever.
Thank you so much for just yourtime and, like opening the
curtain, I feel like it's such abig.
I call it all Hollywood, eventhough obviously you're not in
(27:35):
Hollywood.
But you know there's a there'sthis coolness factor and maybe
people don't mean to act cool.
Maybe we do mean to act cool insome way when we're promoting
ourselves on social media, butyou know we're just curating our
lives on social media and weonly post the good stuff, right.
So to be able to just talkabout like yeah, it was hard to
(27:56):
get signed, or you know, we'vemissed out on opportunities, or
sometimes we sit here wonderinglike do they forget about us?
Where's you know?
So it's just I appreciate youlike just letting it all come
out like that.
It's just so great.
I wish you nothing but the bestand the girls just up to the
sky and beyond.
And I'm super excited for ourkids that are already recording
(28:20):
your scripts now for their demos.
And we can share those and forthose of you that are interested
in that, we'll put all the infoin the show notes, as well as
how to get in touch with Susan.
And yes, just thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh, you're welcome.
Yes, I want everyone to benefitfrom everything that I've gone
through.
Yes, and thank you so much.
Oh, you're welcome.
Yes, I want everyone to benefitfrom everything that I've gone
through.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yes, and thank you for saying that and meaning it.
You are so awesome.
Well, here's to the successfulyoung creatives in our lives and

(29:03):
Yes, I know I'm gonna besuccessful.
We had that one agent , that one agent that took a
chance on us and they were basedin New York and they got some
opportunities from LA throughthem and opportunities in New
York and through the Canadiananimation markets and such.
So New York was a good hub forus.
We were in the same time zonewhen they booked something.
I would get on a plane and flyto New York, wow, and nobody
(00:23):
knew the clients.
They would be recording withthem and they'd say, oh, where
do you live?
And I'm like Florida, they'relike what?
S-y-c.
Successful.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Young S-Y Created.
Yes, I know I'm gonna besuccessful.

Here's Susan Glow.
(02:03):
I am so excited to be here withthe Susan Glow Girl.
You are killing it.
I'm so glad you're here.
This is such a long time coming, by the way, and I want to
thank you for being here,because we've been talking about
this and so many other thingsand working on ideas together
for like years now.
Yes, right, a very long time.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is a full circle moment, for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Full circle moment and I just want to say like,
congratulations on all thegirls' successes, and so much is
thanks to you too, and you'rejust.
You work so hard at it and it'sjust.
It's great because this podcastreally is like for the family,
like for the whole family,because it's a family business.
Even though this is the kidsdoing stuff, it's a family
(02:47):
business, yes, and I'm justinterested to hear, because the
girls have done and accomplishedso much and remain just such
good, wonderful people.
They're beautiful, talented,smart, but they're like good
girls you know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
so just all around I'm just really proud of this.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
This is like the pinnacle of kind of what people
would shoot for, you know sothank you.
Oh, yes.
So I was just curious.
I'm just going to throw outquestions to start, just
wondering, like, speaking ofstarting, yes, what was that
like?
First getting the girls signed,you know?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
it actually was very difficult, really.
Yeah, it was really difficultfor us to get signed.
Now, before Cassie and Sabrinastarted doing voiceover, they
did do a little bit of on-camerawork, some commercials, some
print, you know, some work forDisney, little things like that.
But as they got into thebusiness, the part that really
(03:44):
interested them was thevoiceover.
So, you know, we were in Tampaat the time, you know, so, being
in Florida, not exactly a hotspot for voiceover at the time
and I was like my kids want todo voiceover and everyone goes,
no, you can't do that.
You can't do voiceover fromFlorida, you have to be in New
York or LA.
And so there were no resources,there was no template, there
(04:08):
was no model, there was nopodcast, right, I didn't know
where to begin, I didn't knowwhat to do.
I knew that my kids wanted totry this.
They always loved singing,storytelling, reading, acting
things out.
I just felt that this was anatural next step, for you know
what they enjoy doing and youknow don't tell a mom no,
(04:30):
especially not this mom honey.
Don't tell a mom no, don't tella mom, no, you can't do it from
Florida.
So the process actually to getstarted.
And remember, Cassie andSabrina are 17 and almost 19 now
.
They have been doing voiceoverprofessionally for over 11 years
.
Wow, yeah, so 11 years, youknow back when we were starting.
(04:53):
This is pre-COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
This is pre.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, remote is the norm.
Yeah, now, this is before anyof that, right.
So we started so long ago itjust wasn't a thing.
So to get signed for voiceover,which primarily at that point
was just New York and LA, wasextremely difficult.
People suggested to me well,why don't you try to get an LA
agent for on-camera work and seeif you can get in that way?
(05:19):
And I said, but that's not whatthey want to do, right?
And so there just wasn't astraight path.
So you know those memes thatyou see online of.
You know here's what successlooks like, or here's the
straight line, and here's theline that we took.
Ours is like that bowl ofspaghetti thrown up against the
wall.
And yes, really the way itstarted is, I just started to
(05:41):
find outlets for them topractice voiceover and before we
got signed, we actually werejust working on our own.
They were booking on their ownbefore we got signed to an agent
.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And how were you?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
finding those opportunities.
We actually started with onlinecasting.
Okay, so that's how we gotstarted.
You know, I had enough littlevoice samples of them to create
profiles online and we wouldjust audition online.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh, that's amazing and that's really sort of where
they cut their teeth.
How were you recording thosevoice samples?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh my goodness, when I see the booth that we have now
versus how we started.
We had a blue Yeti mic.
We would hold up our scripts onmy cookbook recipe stand.
Yes, scripts on my cookbookrecipe.
Yes, we were in our very smallsliding door closet with winter
clothes that we no longer usedfrom.
New England and blankets, and sowe just recorded and I knew
(06:35):
nothing, I didn't know how to doit, but the girls talent came
through and their authenticityas a child voice, you know, came
through and they startedbooking and so the process to
get signed.
We actually just started doingthe work.
You know how they say.
Kind of the solution to, youknow, not knowing what to do is
just take a step, yes, take astep, yes.
And so we started with onlinecasting and we started to have
(06:59):
some success there.
So after we started gettingsuccess with online casting and
they had a few jobs under theirbelt, I was able to start
building their portfolio andthen I used that money to invest
in classes, invest in betterequipment, invest in a demo.
So I started reinvesting atthat early point of their career
(07:21):
you know, they were just doingit for fun.
This was their creative outletwhen they were six, seven and
eight and I used that money toinvest back into their marketing
profile essentially Right andjust started networking.
We were taking classes, we weretrying to connect with people in
New York and LA, we were takingcoaching workshops and we were
(07:43):
just trying to get out there andnetwork, so a lot of it was
literally me pounding thepavement like I was a
door-to-door salesman.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I love it and you honestly, like I still see you
out there working it, which,again, perspective is everything
right, like we can have theseillustrious career resumes and
then really inside we're like,dang, I need to get more work.
Yeah, but honestly, it's greatand it really does show that
it's an ongoing process becauseyou're their manager officially
(08:13):
as well, and so you're out there, you're not just reactive,
you're very proactive, which isgreat.
That's a good little segue,because I was going to ask next,
because you do everything fromyour remote studio, right, I
mean?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
occasionally you'll come.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Do you come in at all ?
Even the Disney Junior recentone was that also done from home
?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, you know, to continue on how we got signed,
so when they had built up enoughof a portfolio, we eventually
we had that one agent, that oneagent that took a chance on us
and they were based in New Yorkand they got some opportunities
from LA through them andopportunities in New York and
through the Canadian animationmarkets and such.
(08:55):
So New York was a good hub forus.
We were in the same time zone,right, we were their only talent
, not in the tri-state area.
Wow, yeah.
So we were the only ones whojust took a chance on us because
of our profile, the demos,their bookings.
They took a chance on us and wegot onto their roster and
Cassie and Sabrina went on tobook, you know, multiple jobs
(09:16):
for them.
And at that time again remember,this is still all pre-COVID
when they booked something, Iwould get on a plane and fly to
New York and nobody knew theclients.
They would be recording withthem and they'd say, oh, where
do you live?
And I'm like Florida.
They're like what Exactly?
You came in here.
So some of those first ones.
(09:36):
And then for Disney, cassiebooked that pretty early on in
her career.
She was on Vampirina.
We flew to LA to go record that.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I mean talk about dedication and honestly, because
you need to a lot of times inyour slate say where you're
based.
So would you say we're basedthere.
Aka, I will fly there, I willbe there.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You know, back then we didn't have to slate your
location as much.
I think that became morecommonplace after covid, yeah,
when they wanted to know wheresomebody was.
But we weren't slating ourlocation back then because it
wasn't even a thing.
Right, yeah, you're just in newyork, or la, that's it, that's
what's so great about, like now.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
What a time to be in this business now like to be
able to do this and set up yourhome base recording.
I'm looking at you.
It looks like that's a Neumann.
It is, you are correct.
Ding, ding, ding.
Some girls like Neumanns.
Baby, I like Neumanns.
All right, that is gorgeous.
Can you tell me like a littlebit about your setup?
Where are you right now?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yes, so we moved to Orlando and of move, picking out
this house when we were havingit built was to have a dedicated
space for recording.
Amazing, yeah, and so this isabout like a maybe like a 50 to
60 square foot dedicated area inthe house that we had
acoustically treated.
It's set off from the rest ofthe house so that it's quiet,
(10:57):
and so the whole place isacoustically treated and sound
panels, sound panels andeverything, and, and if you
can't, see them.
They also have the a lot ofimagery of actual roles they've
played, which I love so much, ifyou check out their instagram
too.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You can see in their website like sometimes they'll
post videos of them actuallyworking and you can see their
setup behind.
It's really fun.
It makes it like fun to go inthere too and and get to work.
I'm sure, yeah, it's like youknow, get your game, face on
yeah, exactly come in here.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yes, so that's a neumann tlm 102, yes, which is
really nice and and then welooked into a steinberg ur12
inner, All right.
And then for everything else,you know I use Audacity on my
laptop.
I use my laptop whenever thegirls are doing dubbing or if
they're recording to picture orif they have to see animatics.
(11:47):
We have enough room in here toset it up that they can be
watching the monitor whilethey're recording.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That's great.
Do you have a special fastWi-Fi or anything for that we?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
do we do fast Wi-Fi or anything for that?
We do, we do.
We do not have wired internet,but we have 5G and we only
dedicate.
You know, all other devices areoff it in the house when we're
recording, so that we staydedicated whenever we're in
session.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That is so awesome.
I mean because literally nowanyone in the world can
confidently book them.
Yes, you know, yes, I mean ofcourse they're extremely
talented.
But just knowing that you knowyou guys are set up, it really
does not matter that you don'tlive in LA or New York.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
No, and our recording sound, our booth, this setup,
this whole chain that we haveand this specific space has been
stamped approved by multiplestudios New York, LA, you know,
by multiple studios New York, la, you know, London, australia,
you name it.
Now they know that our studiois at level and so now it's not
an issue anymore, but it took awhile to get there.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It took a while I mean we invested in that over
the years, right, right At thatlevel.
Oh, that's so great and it's soso worth it.
And so what we don't see is youhave a little space to hold the
scripts we do.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
We have a music stand that we use.
You know the script stand thatyou know when they're recording.
We'll set it up right in,exactly in position so that they
can just focus on their scriptand be on mic at the same time.
We have a pop filter.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yes, and is that not Stedman?
But it's like a, or maybe it'slike a wire type of one.
It's not cloth, it's not likeno, it's not cloth, it's like
mesh, it's mesh metal yes, meshmetal, yes.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And then the headphones.
You know, whenever they have tolisten to a client, we're
connected in on the headphones.
And then I always record backupthrough.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Audacity oh, that's awesome.
And then are you on SessionWire or what do they ask you?
Are there different things?
You're are SourceConnect or areyou like do you have
memberships and things to allthat?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And how often do you get asked Like is there a
frequency like oh, it's usuallysession wire, so we use a couple
of different things for when weare in a session.
If we are working with a clientlike a live client directed
session.
They will either connectthrough Google Hangouts or Zoom,
some sort of video conferencingconnection, and then we will
(14:03):
record on our end.
Oh awesome, so we're recordingall the audio and then that way
they can see each other.
They usually say hello, say hiat the beginning and then shut
off the video just to stayfocused on the recording and to
save bandwidth, and we'll record.
Otherwise we can use somethinglike Source Connect, which of
course, is audio only, and thebeautiful thing about using
Source Connect is they'rerecording on their end and so we
(14:26):
are purely just focused ondelivering the script, not
recording.
And then other clients of oursdepending, especially in anime
or dubbing.
You know we might use SessionLink, but primarily it is Zoom,
zoom and Source Connect.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
This is so cool, okay , so, oh, I was going to ask do
the girls have return clients,like where you've booked
something for a company, let'ssay once, and then they kind of
kept coming back to you guys yes, yes yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So that is our favorite.
Over the years they havedeveloped a portfolio of clients
that come back to them time andtime again.
So great, and some clients thatwork with both of the girls,
and so it's always just thatnice.
You know, when you know someone, you know how they work, you
know how they operate, you knowhow they like things delivered.
So it's just that familiaritywith each other that makes the
(15:15):
session go so fast, so smooth,and a lot of times you're like,
oh, say hi to your sister for meor you know, oh, which, which
glow girl do I have today?
And you know these clients thatcome back.
You know, they know what toexpect from Cassie and Sabrina
and vice versa, and you know,for example, one of our ongoing
clients at this point.
The sessions are five minuteslong.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
They know exactly what it is and they know exactly
how to do it.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean Cassie and Sabrina.
Both of them do this.
You know, with this ongoingclient, we get on the call, we
talk for a while.
How's the family?
Hey.
How's college going?
Hey, how's that next theaterthing that you're?
You know because we've gottento know them over the years and
then, oh yeah, let's record.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yes that's right we were supposed to do.
Do that.
I have a regular client which Ilike to say like this started
out as it was supposed to be onething and it's been 16 years
now, which is amazing.
Well, disney publishing now but, one producer that I would work
with all the time, named rob,it got to the point where I can
read his mind like I can.
If he shifts his shoulders likethis.
I'm like, oh, he wants me to doit more.
(16:16):
Like oh, he maybe, like I wasjust going to say that, thank
you, you know, but you start toknow what they want and what
kind of ABC reads they mightwant and like why, wouldn't you
want to rehire that person theyknow?
You know, so that's so great,I'm so glad you guys have that
and I want that for everybodylistening, you know, but it's
(16:37):
not always the job.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You're given the script, you're given the specs,
maybe a rough cut storyboardsyou record on your own record.
You know three takes of eachline, clean up the files,
deliver it, and it's, you know,just back and forth.
And that's how we record.
Other times when you're, youknow, meeting a new client, that
can always be, you know, justlike a little bit nerve wracking
(16:58):
, not nervous because they'vebeen in the booth a thousand
times, but just that.
You know, learning how a newdirector works knew how you know
how somebody else.
I remember one time Sabrina gotthis piece of direction and they
couldn't see her face,thankfully, but they said her
reaction to me and she's lookingat me in the booth, going what
does that mean?
They said, can you be a littleless ta-da?
(17:22):
And she was like sure, and youknow, eventually you know we got
there.
And then sometimes you knowCassie is in a session and she's
got a team in LA on one sideand she's got a team over in
Europe on the other side andshe's watching the monitor and
someone speaking in her ear andshe's recording.
And you know you could have oneperson on the line doing a
(17:43):
remote session or we've had, upto you know, 1015 people
listening at the same time.
So wow it's it's definitely adifferent energy, that's, and a
lot of cooks in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
A lot of cooks in the kitchen, yeah, sometimes the
cooks need to prove that theyneed to be there by making notes
that don't need to be made, butthat's for another episode and
I'm just excited for those ofyou listening still.
Just, you know, I hope you guysare are starting to visualize
yourselves in this situation,you know, and starting to think
about how am I going to getthere?
(18:15):
Because you can get there.
These guys are booking andthey're in the industry with
these amazing resumes and ableto walk around down the street
without being mobbed bypaparazzi.
You know, which is so great, Ithink, personally, the best way
to be successful, personally,this is so cool.
Okay.
So this next question is it'slike very open-ended and I feel
(18:38):
like we could talk about itforever, but I was just
wondering rather than advice.
I more so like to ask if there'sany mistakes that you see
people make or want to preventsome of our listeners from
making.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That line to success was the spaghetti against the
wall.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Because I've had at one point just to try to move
forward and to try to take thatnext step you know, so many
irons in the fire at the sametime and trying to see what
works and trying to see you knowwhat's going to connect and
what's going to get us to thatnext level.
But if I could look back, Iwould say the biggest mistake
that I made was very early on.
(19:16):
Now.
Mind you, I had really wantedto get them into the business.
Yeah, and everybody said no,right, right.
And so I eventually found thisone mom whose kid had one time
done a voiceover because he wasalso on camera in that
commercial, and they just askedhim to do the voiceover and I
said where did you record?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know, like I was just trying anything to get some
information.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And so she connected me with the person that recorded
, and so I'm just going to givemyself a little grace here.
I really wanted them in.
I maybe was seeing stars anddidn't quite see what's in front
of me.
Long story short, he turned outto be a very cheesy radio guy.
Oh gotcha, no, no, no, no, no.
On the plus side, cassie andSabrina did get practice
(20:02):
stepping up to the mic andreading different scripts and
such.
But it was like yeah, I can dothese lessons and at the end
I'll make you a demo and you'lldo this.
And so I was like that soundsgreat.
And so they got practice on themic, but not that many lessons,
you know.
They didn't really knowanything.
They were so brand new.
And he went and recorded themand said okay, I've got your
(20:23):
demo for you.
I was so excited to get a demo.
I was like this is going to bemy ticket, I just need their
demo.
And then all these doors aregoing to open.
And you know that time when youthink everything your kid does
is great.
And every single drawing getsmagnets up on the refrigerator
and you know they can do nowrong, right, I will tell you.
(20:44):
When I got these demos back, Iwas so excited because I was
like this, we're finally makingprogress.
And I listened to those demosand I was like, wow, these are
bad.
I'm like I love my kids so much, I think they're talented, I
think they have potential, buteven I know as their mother, I
(21:05):
can't put this out.
I can't put this out.
These are terrible.
I've heard them do betterplaying in the family room with
their toys than this.
So I think the biggest mistake Imade was rushing in to get a
demo, one before they had reallyhad enough experience and two
with someone who clearly was notqualified to be doing a demo.
(21:28):
I let that get ahead of mebecause I wanted it so badly.
I wanted to book, I wanted tomove on, but that was probably
my biggest mistake.
Thankfully, I didn't send itout anywhere because I always in
the back of my head, I was likeyou don't have a second chance
to make a first impression, andif I send this demo out and I
make another one in a year, no,that doesn't work.
(21:51):
You already sent out thegarbage.
So you can't make that thatmistake, and so I.
I think that was the biggestmistake I made early on was
making a demo before they wereready.
Yeah, with someone who wasn'tqualified, who didn't know the
market, who didn't have anyexperience in the industry.
So that was my biggest mistakeyeah, well, thank you for
(22:11):
sharing that that is like,because it's true we've all kind
of done that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You know that too fast thing and you're just like
because I want it, so I want itso bad, yeah, yeah, and even
just knowing what auditions areout there and what, what they're
like, and if you're kind ofreading something that is, I
don't know, that sounds like aquote.
Unquote demo script.
I guess you know, and yeahsomething I feel like I hear is
just like too loud, too big, toota-da.
(22:39):
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And you know what Now Sabrina would be able to tell
you what that meant.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
No, but I just mean, you know, so often these people
are looking for like just thatgenuine kid voice, you know
which doesn't require you tostand with your feet, you know,
hip width apart, with your handson your hips and just screaming
a line out you know that'sreally not what it is, and so I
do, I do hear that and I justlove that so much.
(23:07):
And I love that you're talkingabout the bad demos, because you
and I have combined forces tohelp people create demos.
Yes, susan is an amazing writeras well.
She crafts demo scriptsspecific to your child, so she
will interview your child andsee what it is they actually
(23:29):
like.
So when they're talking, youknow, when they're delivering
this commercial script, thatit's genuine.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That's what clients want, right, that it's genuine,
that's what clients want, right.
When, when, a when a client ishiring a kid or a teen to do a
voiceover whether it'scommercial or animation, it
doesn't matter what the genre is, they want authenticity.
They want to hear that kid'svoice.
Not putting on a voice, notsomething funny, not something
you know imitation, yeah, notdoing a voice.
They want to hear your voiceexactly.
(23:54):
And so that's what I havelearned.
I mean thousands of auditionsthat Cassie and Sabrina have
done, that I have directed andedited and submitted every
single one, and you know demosover the years that I have
helped with, assisted with,created, drafted, and the
commercials that they've done.
I just, whether I like it ornot, it's in my head, yeah, and
you can hear that thing.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I have an industry that's a good one.
That's not yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, and so now you know knowing what clients want
and what they're looking for.
That's what I put into my demoscripts and I want it to be.
You know, when we're partneringon something, for it to be
authentic.
So you want it to be somethingspecific and exciting and
personal to the kid, becausethat's when their real voice
comes through.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Exactly, exactly.
So that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
If you just love broccoli so much like we're
going to write you a broccoliscript.
Yeah, absolutely Do it.
If you can sell broccoli, allthose clients will be hiring you
.
Oh, you know what Exactly?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Which?
I do actually love broccoli now, which is so funny.
I love that.
So, if it's okay with you, I'dlove to play a little sample of
Sabrina's demo Okay.
You guys check this out.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
The hilarious game you know and love now has all PG
rated content for mixed companyin what do you mean?
Family edition?

memes.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Laughter not included but likely to occur.
Wasn't that amazing?
She's so good, oh my gosh.
So, written by Susan anddelivered by the one and only
Sabrina Glow, and I produced themusic and background.
You know sound effects andthings like that.
So we're a fun little team overhere.
I love it.
And who wouldn't want to workwith moms?
You know, come on, we feel yougirls, we get it done.
(25:32):
Yes we get it done right, nomatter what, oh my gosh.
So also do you, as we're kindof closing out here and again.
This is like a family, acommunity, like we don't
gatekeep here.
We want everyone to win and getbetter and grow.
And so I'm curious do you alsocoach?
Are you available for coaching,mentoring, things like that,
(25:54):
and how would people get intouch with you for something
like that?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, we are available All of the glows.
A lot of times I will doconversations and sit downs with
other parents just wanting tobounce ideas off of it.
You know kind of like how weare today just asking questions
and how do I do this and what doyou think is the right next
step which I'm always happy todo because, again, I had no one
to call Right and so I'm happyto pay it forward.
(26:19):
I've got all this knowledge inmy head.
Somebody, please use it.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Right and a girl off in college and one on the way
too, oh my, goodness that'sright.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
And then I'm always available for audition coaching
and Cassie and Sabrina bothoffer coaching, which is
exciting for the kids, I think,to work with kids who have done
it themselves right, they'vebeen in the booth.
They understand, you know, theyknow how to connect and the
voices you know are so close.
I mean, they're close in age,there's someone to look up to,
but they're not so far removedthat they can't relate Exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, Again, you're not just talking to a mom which
we're cool moms, we're cool moms, but yeah, but being coached by
, yeah, like a, a someone whofeels like a peer, because the
kids kind of like to look up andfancy themselves a little bit
older and they're just againsuch sweet girls Like you could
mess up in front of them and notbe, you know, embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Don't take their extensive resumes to you know,
feel like they're, you know,untouchable.
They are just really down toearth and amazing.
This is so cool.
I could go on and on forever.
Thank you so much for just yourtime and, like opening the
curtain, I feel like it's such abig.
I call it all Hollywood, eventhough obviously you're not in
(27:35):
Hollywood.
But you know there's a there'sthis coolness factor and maybe
people don't mean to act cool.
Maybe we do mean to act cool insome way when we're promoting
ourselves on social media, butyou know we're just curating our
lives on social media and weonly post the good stuff, right.
So to be able to just talkabout like yeah, it was hard to
(27:56):
get signed, or you know, we'vemissed out on opportunities, or
sometimes we sit here wonderinglike do they forget about us?
Where's you know?
So it's just I appreciate youlike just letting it all come
out like that.
It's just so great.
I wish you nothing but the bestand the girls just up to the
sky and beyond.
And I'm super excited for ourkids that are already recording
(28:20):
