In the inaugural episode of "Between Two Takes," host Tim Powers, co-host Barri Tsavaris and WoVO President George Washington III introduce the WoVO organization, a supportive community for voice actors. They discuss the importance of peer-to-peer learning, share personal experiences, and highlight the value of mutual support in navigating industry challenges. The episode features a real-life example of members helping each other identify a scam, emphasizes inclusivity for newcomers and veterans alike, and outlines the benefits of joining WoVO, including mentorship, resources, and community events.
''George Washington III', '00:06:40', 'Watching the light go on in that room was one of the most inspiring moments that I have ever seen, where people opened up, came to their friends, and reached out for emotional support through a rough moment, recalling the things that all of us have endured or something like it.'
'Tim Powers', '00:08:14', 'It was impressive to see grown, mature, experienced veterans in the industry sobbing because they had a moment of vulnerability and clarity, and they weren’t sobbing because they were reliving past trauma—they were sobbing because of the relief that came from realizing that we spend all our time alone in a little room, but all of a sudden you’re in a hotel ballroom with 150 or 200 other people who are all fighting the same dragon every day, but we don’t know it.'
'Barri Tsavaris', '00:09:06', 'There were a few people that spoke about one story in particular. I won’t name names, but one woman talked about how she was offered the voiceover opportunity of a lifetime—her dream opportunity—but she had something happening in her family and had to make a difficult choice. The client wouldn’t wait 24 hours for her, and this is somebody that I look up to, who I thought had it all figured out. To just hear that she is also going through this made me feel so much better about where I’m at and the difficult choices we have to make about that work-life balance.'
