Peter Rabbit

I have been meaning to record The Tale of Peter Rabbit for a few months and have found other things taking up my time.  I've continued working on dialect and am really happy how that skill has progressed for me.  Often I can go about speaking it quite naturally without much effort, hope to continue to use it in voice recordings and in theater, and will continue working on it.

Here's my recording of Peter Rabbit:



I love reading this story to my toddler girl.  Here's a link to the public domain version of the story: Peter Rabbit on Project Gutenberg
There are also a bunch of illustrations on the website.

A Christmas Carol recording and more!

I have been reading a lot of plays lately and am really excited I recorded five minutes from Dickens' A Christmas Carol today.  I performed in A Christmas Carol in high school and one of my best friends was a Cratchit kid with me; we were the eldest two girls.  I am really excited that I am working on a standard British accent and utilized what I have been working on within this recording.

I donated a cross-stitch piece to my husband's alma mater, St. Olaf, (I am a Luther College graduate) and am really happy someone bought something I made.  I used a picture from a Florida beach trip my husband and I went on years ago and found an app to turn it into pixels and a cross-stitch pattern, and finally added some of Shakespeare's words from Sonnet 116.  Here's some pictures of that project.











Today, I was thinking a lot about the acting I have done and the acting that I hope to be able to do; I want to share a youtube video of a short film I was involved in when I was in my early 20's.  I had my first professional headshots done shortly afterwards and recently had other ones taken.  Here's the headshots and I will put the youtube video under my audio file.

Happy International Women's Day, everyone!!
