"In My Voice" with Kathy Grable

Dino is an talented voice actor and great guy I've known and worked with for many years. How he got into the voice-over world was a bold move, calling to look for work as a writer but would end up being one of the main characters of an anime show. He's also well know as the voice of Speedy Gonzales, Scarecrow in the video game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Pop of the rice crispy trio, Snap, Crackle and Pop. We also talk about 'Soul Geeks,' his foundation that turned the loss of his wife, a fellow voice-over artist Mary Kay Bergman into a wonderful memorial. And, stay tuned until the end when we break down a an animation script and play with character choices to develop our rolls. We really had fun with this one!!

She's also been a guest star on "Better Call Saul" and many others. She and Kathy give a master class on auditioning in a way to "make it yours".

On this Thanksgiving edition, we take a slight departure from our usual guests, Kathy interviews a woman in media just a different side - books - cookbooks to be exact!

As a cook and baker herself, Kathy and Deborah delve into the idea of food as more than just well-seasoned hospitality.
