Far too much giggling went on in my recording session today. Directors listen up! Creating a playful space is going to get you the best results. Today I played 7 different characters in 10 episodes of a new audio drama. Can't wait to share it with you, its hilarious! Thank you @barnaby_ej for being such a fabulous and probably twangable Director 😘 Recording from my home studio, using @riverside.fm 
Belated Happy World Theatre Day! This is a photo from The Cherry Orchard. Here is Lyuba Ranevsky (me) and Anya (@mollyyives) in 2017. Being part of a play is a unique experience every time. No one else but your little team feel how you feel at that moment. And then there is the audience…  Scientists have found that watching a live theatre performance can synchronize your heartbeat with other people in the audience, regardless of if you know them or not.  That doesn’t surprise me one bit.  There is nothing quite like it. And I can’t wait to experience it again in the audience, and as a performer.  #worldtheatreday #savethearts #actress #thecherryorchard 
Its taken a week or so to get back to normal after Tommy went back to school. Having him at home whilst Mike and I were working was a real challenge. It does make you appreciate your own space and time. And of course now I miss the little monkey. #mumofson

Oh its been such a joy getting out of the house today and heading to Media City in Manchester. Watch out for it! In the meantime, the first film: "Cattle Hill" is showing now on Amazon Prime. But I tell you, working on animations in an external studio is such a change from working on my own all year, so much fun. To get out has done my mental health the world of good I tell you. #cattlehill #animationdubbing #voiceover #actor 
A tiny "tour" inside my recording booth. This is where all the magic happens. Equipment: AT4040 Mic, Adobe Audition editing software, Soundcraft Notepad 124 Mixer, professionally sound treated vocal booth from vocalbooth.com Connectivity: My studio has its own dedicated wifi and is connected to the internet via ethernet and high speed fibre optic broadband.

Enjoying the challenges of Lockdown 3. My 4 yr old is bouncing off the walls. And everywhere I go, this little fella is also there, generally attached to my leg or head. Good luck to all the parents out there trying to teach, entertain and possibly do the day job. 
My last session of 2020 was with this fine fellow. I won a free Automotive demo created by Cliff Zellman. Little did I know how much time and effort would be taken and how much fun would be had. Over the last few weeks Cliff has spent hours with me, teaching me all about the world of voiceovers in the automotive industry, tuning my ear and voice to different energies and styles required for different ads. Thank you @cliffzellman, you are a driver that doesn't cut corners, I appreciate that so much. I'm extremely grateful to have received this as part of my prize through the @get_micd team - THANK YOU Elley Ray and Deb Nordeen (Munro). Automotive demo, on its way! 
No win for me at the @societyvoicearts this year, but I actually had a fab night getting glammed up. Mike (husband) bought champagne and nibbles. I watched and chatted with some of my other #voiceover buddies via an event set up by @leah_etc and @nicredvoice. THANK YOU to the organisers @joanthevoice and @rudygaskins1 who added to much needed glitz to this year. George Lucas, Tom Kenny and Mark Hamill were also talking at the event. What an honour to be part of that in a tiny way. #savethearts #voiceactor #voiceoverartist #voiceawards #voiceartsawards
