In this episode Tom will be referencing many of the ideas and concepts he covered in <a href="http://www.voiceactingmastery.com/vamfr-019-theme-park-voice-over-part-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">part 1</a> and <a href="http://www.voiceactingmastery.com/vamfr-020-theme-park-voice-over-part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">part 2</a>. <a href="http://www.voiceactingmastery.com/vamfr-020-theme-park-voice-over-part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">In the previous episode</a>, Tom discussed at length the auditioning and casting process for voice over work in theme parks. He started by telling the story of how he broke into working as a voice actor at Disney California Adventure on the “Turtle Talk with Crush” interactive show. He shared his experiences of what the auditioning process was like and how it took him a total of six attempts over multiple years before he finally landed the role of Crush.<br> He also talked about the different ways Voice Actors can look for theme park VO auditions <a href="http://www.voiceactingmastery.com/vamfr-020-theme-park-voice-over-part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in the previous episode</a>.<br> In this episode, Tom will be discussing some of the challenges one may face as a theme park voice actor. He’ll also be focusing on the importance of maintaining a sense of professionalism in a Theme Park setting. We’ll be using the term ‘professionalism’ as a way to describe what is commonly understood in the entertainment industry as ethical and responsible behavior. An actor who is able to maintain a sense of professionalism will inspire confidence in their collaborators, whether they’re working with booth directors to create pre-recorded narration or with fellow cast members bringing characters to life in front of an audience. Conversely, if an actor behaves unprofessionally, their negative attitude can end up reflecting badly on them, damaging their relationships with collaborators and any prospects for future work.<br> If you’ve been following this special report so far, you’ll be delighted to hear that Tom’s five special guests have returned to share with me their thoughts on overcoming challenges and maintaining one’s professionalism in a theme park environment. We’ll be hearing from Rebecca Lumianski, who is an experienced actor and Consulting Director at Disneyland for shows like “Turtle Talk with Crush”. We’ll also hear from Joe Hernandez, who is the head talent and show trainer for Turtle Talk and a gifted voice actor who was recently featured as the character of Daruk from the video game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Later, Tom will speak with the husband and wife team of Bill Rogers and Camille Dixon, who provide the official announcement voices for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, respectively. Finally, Isaac Robinson Smith will also be joining us in our discussion. Isaac is a versatile performer for Universal Studios Hollywood and a former Turtle Talk actor.
