Voices.com mixer in Los Angeles

04 Sep

It’s often said “Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them,” and tonight at the Voices.com mixer were a room full of champion vo talent, and many traveling from afar to rub shoulders with some of the best of the best.

When I first walked in I was greeted by Voices.com
co-founder, Stephanie Ciccarelli.

Just a few steps away I saw two of favorite people, Penny Abshire and James Alburger of Voiceacting.com, and co-founding members of VOICE 2010.

I didn’t get too far before voice talent, Michael Anthony introduced me to the incredibly talented, Nicole Fazio. But as fate would have it, my buddy, David Marc told her she must meet  me.

If you ever get the chance to meet Stephanie Ciccarelli of Voices.com, she’s one special Canadian Gal.
