Astoria Redhead aka Mandy Fisher joins us! As a child actor, Mandy was invested in the theater and film scene in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time, there were only a handful of girls her age doing voiceover.  One day while at school, her mom pulled her out of class and took her to the studio where she was told she was going to be recording a national radio commercial. She had never done anything like this before.  After the initial nerves, she let loose and just had fun being herself. That set off a career trajectory that she never anticipated. And she never looked back. Since then she has worked with companies like Audible, Kohls, Macy's, Disney, SquareSpace, QuikTrip, Crayola, WholeFoods and many more. In addition, she also coaches people pursuing their Voice Over dreams and has started her own podcast, Disaster Human. Her passion for voiceover and genuine love of helping people inspire her to work with actors of all stages of their career. With a theater background, she brings her training to guide copy analysis and character creation. As an industry vet of 15 years, she has witnessed the changes and understands the ebbs and flows of the business. Mandy created her own voice over business from the ground up and has a successful and replicable model to help actors build their own successful businesses. All of this adds up to a coach who can provide audition and career advice while helping actors become the best they can be! She truly has so many amazing tips, you don't want to miss it!Support the showThis is a shareable podcast, with a group of creatives, documenting their creative voice over & on-camera journeys to inspire all of us as we navigate our own paths!
