As a voice actor, I always wonder what the thought process is for casting directors when they are listening to hundreds and hundreds of auditions per day! How do they know exactly what their clients are searching for? How do I make sure that I'm performing in a way that will catch their attention?! In Part 1 of my interview with Casting Director, Kim Hurdon, we start a great conversation about all things voice acting! Kim Hurdon is both a casting and voice director with 30 years of experience under her belt. She’s been dubbed “The Queen of Voice” by ACTRA and she has appeared as a voice specialist on radio, tv and in print.  She’s cast voices for every voice medium known to humankind.  Kim's love of directing has led her to the animation and gaming worlds where she has quickly become one of the most sought-after directors in Canada.  Her superpower is … of course … the power of supersonic hearing!  Which comes in pretty darn handy.Kim is such an incredibly talented woman!

It’s relatively common for me to interview people I know in the VO industry. But I like to switch it up sometimes! This episode is a special one because I’ll be interviewing a very talented musician and actor, who also happens to be a good friend of mine. When I first had the idea to start my own podcast, it was a video version for YouTube. I think this was back in about 2014. To be honest, my filming skills were not great, and I was nervous! I managed 2 or 3 seasons of interviews for my YouTube channel, and they did improve over time. But since I’m a voice actor, it eventually made more sense to just switch to an audio only podcast version! So, here we are! My special guest in this episode happens to be the first person I ever interviewed for the show! Jordan Grey (formerly known as Jordan Smith) is a singer/songwriter/actor and all-around talented guy. We met in an acting class I took at a studio in Fredericksburg, VA back in 2012. Jordan has great improv and acting skills, and he does a great job of connecting with the characters he creates or is given. After our year in acting class together, we only talked off and on until 2014 when he had released his first EP called “Apollo” and I asked to interview him. The interview was hilarious, we became fast friends, and the rest is history! I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!To connect with Jordan Grey on Social media, you can find him on Instagram or Twitter @mrjogrey."Live with Squacky" is mixed and mastered by everybody's favorite VO Tech, Uncle Roy Yokelson of "Antland Productions."
