Disability isn’t a choice. Remote recording should be an accessibility right. I’m gathering voluntary stories from disabled voice actors who need remote options, to advocate for accessibility.

Casting Directors like @sarasecora.com listen to a lot of demos. A LOT OF DEMOS. 😆😭 And through the process, they develop a sense of what they like and what they don't - generally for themselves as well as industry-wide.

Wouldn't that information be helpful? Yes, it would.

Back in Fallout 76 ⚠️ I reprised my role as the Medic Responder in the newest DLC. As always thanks to the team for having me and thanks to Atlas for making it happen.

Happy to announce I’ve entered the Once Human world! 👻 I voiced the big bad Secret Servitor as part of their voice (they have a few!), truly a fun game to work on with a great team behind it.

I kept this one on the burner in respect of the strike. Now that it’s over…

I was given the opportunity to step into Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Being in games that I love is the thing of dreams. Thanks to the team for the chance! You’ll hear me as Anxious Spirit, Ida and more!

@sarasecora.com is a casting and voice director. She listens to a lot of demos and would like to share her thoughts, findings, warnings, and preferences. You'll be able to submit your demo (anonymously or not) for Sara to review.

Come be informed about demos. 💪😤

3 years ago, I released The Anywhere Voice Actor on Amazon. I made it because there was a gap in available information about remote voice acting, especially in a post-Covid landscape. 👀 I’m working on another non-fiction book for the VO industry, more details coming soon.

My goal with sharing this info is transparency. Keeping the ladder down. And while my booth might not be a low budget friendly option, it might be an informational read that can help you find the booth specs you need for your own project and budget. 💜

Sara Secora ♡ @sarasecora.com · May 16

When I went to a prebuilt booth company, they quoted me over $20k for a booth with limited options. 😩

This led me to feel pretty helpless. I needed certain specs that were ending up to be the price of a new car! That’s why I ended up deciding to go with fully custom booth.

Sara Secora ♡ @sarasecora.com · May 16

While this booth isn’t the most affordable option out there, it is good to keep knowledge about building a quality booth available freely. Entry should be viable for remote talent! During my research, I really noticed how this information isn’t widely out there.

Next week I’ll begin building my new booth in this remodeled room! I plan to document the entire process: from planning to building, while also compiling an itemized breakdown of the specs and costs.

Just had the chance to voice another gothic baddie in Smite 2: Bad Bunny Nu Wa!

I looooove playing her, so this was extra special. And after voicing five skins in Smite, it was such a cool change to bring a bit more of myself to the character with my natural voice. 🖤

A lot of being a voice actor is taking swing after swing. Most of the time, we don’t even realize how close we came, near misses that quietly slip by. But every so often, there’s a home run. Those are the moments that keep us going.
