"How did you get into Audio Description?" Is a question I get aaaaaall the time. I chatted with Roy Samuelson of ADNA to discuss that, why joy matters now more than ever, the importance of connection, and so much more.🫶 MAJOR shoutout to everyone who supported this. sites.libsyn.com/271301/maren...

Hi great news I have once again forgotten that this site exists, have a belated 2025 wrapped 💖 May 2026 be kind and gentle to us all!

My feed has been flooded with AI slop. Everything from more anime "dubs", to reels, to every other ad. And I am so tired. I just want to look at something and not need to be on guard, hesitating to trust in the intentions of everything I come into contact with.

Changing my pfp for spooky season 🖤🦇

So stoked for you, Adam! And, of course, so so happy that folks will have access to a more accessible TTRPG experience than when I first started. 💖

We've got about two weeks left in the #Kickstarter campaign for the #ttrpg voiced dialogue soundboard NPC Chronicles, which I voice several characters in. If you haven't backed it yet and this sounds like your kind of thing, go check it out now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hip...

There's been some chatter again on here about disability, VO, and therefore, accessibility. Thought I'd mention that VO can be used as an accessibility tool! Ex: A friend and colleague of mine has been working on a product that makes TTRPG's more accessible. 1/2

Goodness, I have a bad habit of forgetting this site exists and it's so nice to see that this convo is still going strong. Thank you, everyone, for sharing and helping make our voices heard, and thank you again to @itstinatimevo.bsky.social for setting this up! We're strong and we WILL make change.

I have mixed feelings about using mobility aids (only for myself, of course). What about you - do you use one, how do you feel about it, etc.? Captions available in the vid!

I can't thank @itstinatimevo.bsky.social enough for putting together this survey talking about how to make VO more accessible. If you'd like to get in on the convo or spread the word, here's the link: docs.google.com/forms/d/1N87... Let's get the word out 💖

Here is a baby otter to make you feel better about everything.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

chat help, my Galaxy Tab A (2022) isn't turning on 😭 I've tried 2 diff chargers, I've let it charge for a few hours, I've held down the power button, and separately held down the power + volume down buttons. I've cleaned the charging part where the usb-c attachment goes. Plz help im just a girl

Realized I never posted my voiceover demos on here - thanks to @iolitestudioz.bsky.social for producing this, and @braydenmedlin.bsky.social for putting this card together!

Post you from a different era!

Sometimes when a session is booked, I get super in my head - "will I be good enough? What if I can't step up?" Then, inevitably, as the session gets going, I relax into my training, and my love for the art form. And I let myself PLAY. Just wanted to document this in the hopes that it helps others.

I tend to not post much bc I fear I have nothing interesting to say, soooo... A few things about me: ✨ I'm short af (5'0" on a good day) ✨ My VO goal is to give people permission to feel as deeply as they need ✨ My personal goal is to make sure cutie patooties (🫵) hydrate

Hopefully chronically ill celebrities won’t see the comments you make about their appearance, but your chronically ill friends absolutely will. We notice the way you speak about other chronically ill people.

If YOU 🫵 want to take your VO to the next level, do yourself a favor and take Cassandra's class. It changed me for the better, both as a person and as an actor. If you want someone to hold you accountable and cheer you on (as long as you do the work), Cassandra's your gal!

Don’t ask A/I to make you a poem. Ask me. Reply with a topic (within reason) & I will write a 2-8 line poem for you.

For the new friends who just jumped in: Hello! I'm Maren (Like Karen, but with an M and not cursed), your friendly neighborhood voice actor, disability advocate, and gremlin. Glad you're here, let's make our silly little corner a little bit brighter ✨

I still remember when my sibling awkwardly poked their head in my room and said "Hey, there's this weird show with voice actors that I think you'd like." Crazy to think that 10 years later, #Criticalrole is what saved me and made me want to do vo. Thanks for everything. <3

What are some ways you recharge after a rough patch? 2025 has been swinging 😵‍💫

9 years seizure free today and feeling immensely grateful. 💖

Also! Remember that auditioning is the job. For just that little bit of time, the character is fully yours. Even if you don't book it, you still got to breathe life into them. Multiple takes allows you to show them off! And, who knows, you may get shortlisted / called to do the project later!

The way software glitches can take me from "Everything's fine, deep breaths, we'll figure it out" to blood boilingly angry really should be studied 🫶

My bad video game habit is playing the first hour or so of something until I get past all the tutorials, deciding I'm not in the mood to play it right now and setting it aside, then coming back months later and not remembering anything I learned in the tutorials but being too stubborn to replay them

When your arachnophobia is so bad you can't even kill spiders in video games... #BaldursGate3

Y'all I just plugged something into the charger, on the correct side, in the dark, ON THE FIRST TRY. Documenting bc this will never happen again 💀

Hi, I’m God. I support diversity, equity and inclusion. I do not support uniformity, injustice and segregation. Hope this helps, God

Me: *accidentally trips over my dog in the kitchen* Oop, Bubby! I didn't see you there, you okay?? Dog: Yes. I am Bubby. Bubby is I. I am he. Reporting for duty. I am unfazed by your antics, silly human. Now drop some food for the bestest Bubby.

I'm not generally one to promote things like this. However, every interaction I've had with Christina, however brief, has always been so genuine and sweet. She, too, has been open about disability advocacy in VO. If you're able, please consider donating - can't think of anyone more deserving. 💖

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description... (except Alt Text)

Y'all. Molly Burke was talking about Out Of My Mind in her video about movies with GOOD media representation. To know that @DescribedVideo trusted me with this, that I was a part of something that moves people, is something that will stick with me forever. Watch here: youtu.be/ardRpHOMFfY?...

Yall this is for science so I must know: Would you rather be too hot or too cold? 🤔

The bottom left face is sending me 💀 I, too, had the honor of being in this class and it absolutely changed my life, both on and off the mic. I could yap for hours about how much I adored every second (and to my close friends, you know I'm not exaggerating). Instead I will simply: 🫡

A very romantic thing to call someone is "My sweet little sunk cost fallacy."

Arcane is so good. They should make a video game based on it

Elf was on Hulu and no one told me?? I'm taking that personally, actually

Hi friends! Super stoked to be able to say that I provoided Descriptive Audio for Out Of My Mind, available now on Disney+!! Thanks so much to the folks @DescribedVideo for this opportunity. 💖 Check out the trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvVx...

In my voiceover class, we've been talking about our "Why's" often. Why are we committed to our craft? What drives us during a time with little/no bookings? It has to be bigger than fans, money, notoriety, etc. - something that will never waver. I told the class a condensed version of the truth -

Clothes shopping is wild because what do you mean the same shirt that I got pre-pandemic was a Large and now a jacket with largely those same dimensions is considered an XXL 🫠
