Brett Gallant 

Thank you so much for having me, Brett. I really appreciate it.

Patricia Brayley

Thank you. It's such a pleasure. Patricia, you've had a fascinating journey pivoting from leadership and change management to becoming a voice actor. What inspired you to make this shift and how did you get started in voice acting?

Brett Gallant 

Oh, that's a great, those are great questions, Brett. Thank you for asking. Oh yeah, goodness. I guess going back to when I was just growing up, people always told me I had a great radio voice, very calm, soothing voice. So, and I always loved acting ever since I was very young. So, and then over the past several years, I just kind of had time to reflect on where I'm at and where I want to go, what I want to invest my time in and energy, and thinking about my creative side that I haven't kind of explored as much. And that's kind of what led me to explore voice acting, just to kind of test that theory that people said, you know, I had such a great radio voice.

So this calling that was calling, a little voice that was calling you, you should try this. And you decided to put on those shoes and take that step forward, leap of faith and go all in. Exactly.

Yeah, yeah. I had reached out to a voice actor about potentially working together. just through a series of kind of back and forth on email, she said, well, you should connect with David Rosenthal, who's the founder and CEO of the Global Voice Acting Academy. So I connected with him and he offers a complimentary 15 minute consultation to anyone who wants to learn more about professional voice acting. So connected with him and we clicked right away and just so much fun to work with him. And he was able to help me to reconnect with that inner joy that I've had all this time and now I have this opportunity to explore that.

So how has that been so far, interacting and coaching with him? What's been the biggest challenge and the biggest joy so far about having that opportunity to grow in this new direction for you?

Yeah, yeah. That's a good question. Goodness. Challenges. We always like to talk about challenges as puzzles, right?

Oh, yeah. They are puzzles. Yes. They can be solved. That's right.

That's right. I just bought a puzzle today, actually. Yeah. Well, There was a lot more to it than I actually realized. It's so much more than just having a nice voice, that's for sure. Because when I tell a lot of people that I'm into voice acting, they're like, oh, I should do that. And then I tell them a little bit more about what's actually involved. And it is quite a marathon, actually. And there's a lot more than people realize. Um, from doing the training and coaching with your coach and getting your home studio set up and learning how to perform and use your voice. And then there's the whole business side of it as well. And my voice coach does emphasize that it is in fact a business and to treat it that way. And it does require an investment on a number of levels in terms of, like I said, the coaching, training and also having a demo professionally produced all of those pieces and getting yourself even ready to go out there and share with the world that you're into voice acting. On the positive side, I shouldn't say it's negative, it's just something that was unexpected and just some of the realities of this profession. Just working with David is an absolute joy. He is just such a unique individual. Just love working with him. He's very direct with his feedback, but he gives it in a way that's humorous as well. mimic back what I've done and he'll be able to show me right away like how I'm showing up and he'll challenge me to go further. So I've learned all kinds of things about how to use my voice, how to project the importance of certain things like just having a smile when you talk. People can hear that, right? Cause they don't have the visual.

In all aspects, even when you're talking to people, I often try to smile before I own somebody because people pick up on that. And it has to be genuine from the heart.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah. Like not that high. Yeah. Yeah. So it's certainly been an eye-opener for sure, but I know, I think you would agree with me when I say this, when you do things that are hard, everything becomes easy. And so as you've been going through this journey with the coaching and your career, have things become easier since you've started on this path?

Not sure if it's easier or just different, different puzzles to solve. Just different things to look at. There's always, I think, you know, as with, you know, leadership and, um, you know, developing yourself and all that, you're never really done, right. As, as you know, um, with your background as a leader as well. Um, and the same goes for any profession. So certainly with voice acting, there's always more to explore. For example, I've focused mainly on commercial and narration up to this point, but I really want to get into character, exploring that world as well, which is a completely different skill set and way of being.

Okay. And, and just, and getting a little uncomfortable probably as well too. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, and you learn a whole lot about yourself too, as you know, it's very vulnerable to, you know, do a read. Like we meet every month as part of our membership with the Global Voice Acting Academy. We do coach-led workouts, so a number of us voice actors are on a call with a more experienced voice actor who's probably also a casting director and so on, and they give us feedback in real time. So it's very vulnerable to read your script in front of everyone and to get that feedback in real time. And there's always little refinements that can be made. And one thing I love the most about, and there's a whole piece around script analysis, is looking overall at the script. There's a melody to every script, and there's a certain emotion or emotions that people want to convey to their audience. So there's a lot more to it, like I said, than people realize.

Yeah, no, I think that's true for everything in life that we never know until you walk a mile in someone's shoes. Isn't that true?

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. So making a career pivot is never easy. And so my question for you, what mindset shifts helped you transition from a structured corporate role to the creative world of voice acting?

I keep saying that's such a good question, but you ask such good questions. Oh, goodness. I think for me, see where we go with this, but there was just that calling, that part of me that wanted to connect with that creative side of myself. So I think courage is something like having the courage to go and explore something that you've always had in the back of your mind and you thought about trying, but you didn't. And then finally doing it after all these years. I think there's a certain amount of courage that comes with that. There's an openness to exploration and kind of an eagerness to learn more about yourself as well, because it really is. And that was another unexpected part of this journey and still is. It's still like exploring who I am and how I show up. not only in audio files, but also I'm doing some on-camera stuff as well as you know, so you learn a lot about yourself in that process. So if somebody is really seeking that self-awareness and learning more about themselves and how they show up and how they can use their gifts to make a positive difference in the world, no matter what area that is, whether it's voice acting or wherever, it is a really, yeah, it's a deep training.

Do you find in some ways, in some areas that you were shattering limiting beliefs and overcoming them in some aspects that you had previously, that you've made that mindset shift and adapted to show up in a new and exciting way that you didn't really realize?

Oh yeah, absolutely. Like going back to when I was younger, I always, whenever I did those aptitude tests or skills tests, they always came out, you know, creative, creative, the arts and all of that, but I didn't follow it. Isn't that interesting.

Right? Yeah.

And so, and I followed what I thought was like a safer path or a more practical path, which I'm very grateful for all my opportunities. I've learned so much. I've met so many great people along the way. I've certainly grown in many ways, but there was still that longing inside to explore that creative side of myself. I remember hearing many years ago, friends don't let friends take arts. It wasn't my thing. I think it's terrible. And just this belief that you cannot make a living doing what you love. And I think we're seeing a real shift now, more in the creative economy, where people are finding that there are all those opportunities in the creative world.

We live in the best time right now. There's so many people that are Making a good living a comfortable living doing all kinds of interesting things in the world that were not possible but because of the information age the digital age that we live in. People can make a living of one of my passions is to watch. people canoe in the north and camp out in the woods. And I watch it with my children sometimes, the outdoor boys, with this lawyer, gets out and does adventures with his family. And he's living his passion with his children, and he's making a living. Everything and anything in today's digital world is possible, and it's just that mindset shift to say, hey, this is for me, I can do this, I'm committed to taking that leap of faith to doing it. So it's really inspiring that we're all taking, you know, we live in this time that we can take that chance to, you know, take that, like Wayne Gretzky says, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. So you take that shot.

Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember you make me think of another saying that I always was kind of one of my mantras, like, in any moment of decision, the worst thing you can do is nothing, right?

Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, that's true. And there's always that opportunity to change and grow. Exactly. So follow up to that, what were some of the biggest challenges that you faced so far during this transition? And how have you been overcoming them and solving those puzzles?

Yeah, yeah, thank you for asking that. Yeah, yeah. Well, like I said, there is so much more to professional voice acting than I realized. So it's been quite a learning journey and treating it like as with anything, treating it like a business, right? Like all those pieces. I think that was one of the biggest things is just really understanding that it is in fact a business and to treat it like that. And learning how to take constructive feedback, that's a skill. And to not let it stop you. It's meant to help you get better, just to see it that way, right?

We all can benefit from that. And sometimes it's how receptive are we to receiving that feedback? Because especially if it's coming from a place of love and encouraging you to grow, we need to be receptive to do that. So by that, we only get better. and improve.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I think just kind of going back to connecting with you're why, like, why are you doing this? Like, as for anything, right? Like for me, it's, this is something that brings me joy. It allows me to express my creativity and I'm determined to, you know, make it successful, right? And I recognize too, that it is a marathon and you have to be prepared for that as with, I think, any business. Some of them take off faster than others, but Generally, from what I've heard, voiceover is more of a marathon.

Yeah, but I think in a lot of things in life, it is that, and I've said, I've actually used that analogy quite a few times in the last month and even today, when we're talking about something customer-facing that we're working on a transition to help something in their organization, I said, This is not a sprint, it's a marathon. We're going to do it slow and methodically to do it right and make sure everything goes smooth and the transition is smooth. So when you approach it and realize that small bites at a time ultimately get you there, you just have to be patient and have that grace to allow it to happen and allow yourself to further grow. So it's true for anything. from what I see, so.

Oh, I agree, yeah, yeah, for sure, yeah.

So limiting beliefs sometimes can hold us back from trying new things. And so let's go back 10, 15 years in the past and say, and if you were speaking to yourself, Okay. What would you say to yourself now that you know what you know? What would you say to that version of Patricia? She's not the same today. Right.

Oh, goodness. I know it might sound cheesy, but believe in yourself and don't lose sight of the gifts that you have inside of yourself. I'm not just saying this for me, I'm saying it for other people too.

That's why I started this podcast. I want people to hear this because that's a great message. All of us, we all have this. gift, these gifts that we don't even know and sometimes we don't recognize it and it's time to embrace that and realize that, like you said, embrace your gifts. What else would you say? Would there be anything else you would say to yourself?

Yeah. Yeah. But it's, it's never too late to explore your passions because I think sometimes we can kind of get settled and think, well, you know, maybe I'll just do this on the side as a little hobby or whatever. Like, you know, I, I'm probably not going to be able to do this or that. Like, just don't listen to that voice.

Yeah. Really connect with your passion. It needs to be quiet. Yeah.

I like to turn the volume down on that one. Yeah.

Yeah. Ever watched Flintstones?

Yeah, yeah.

It was the kazoo and the other one. Don't do that, dum-dum. You tell that, you just make him go away, that other voice. See you later, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I just, They're saying that there's no point in climbing the ladder if it's against the wrong wall. And it doesn't have to be a corporate ladder or anything like that. It could just be the ladder of your passion. It's just never too late to reconnect with that. Like, why not, right? We're only here for this short time and to explore your passion.

Like my father always said to me, if you do what you love to do, it'll never feel like work.

Exactly. Yeah, yeah.

So I am sure when you're doing voice acting, it doesn't feel like work.

Oh, goodness. Yeah. I lose track of time recording and editing. And yeah, it's, uh, I love that creative process. So much fun.

So, um, did you have any doubts or fears though, that like, we've talked a bit about that. Were there any specific doubts or fears that, that you've overcome since you started stepping into voice acting?

Um, Well, there's always, you know, wondering, like, what are people going to think? I think that's a natural thing that many of us have. But you just need to kind of let that go because people are more concerned with themselves, quite honestly.

Yeah, that's true. I used to always worry about going into a room. What is somebody thinking? But no, no one's there. We're all worried about ourselves. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. There's that saying, like when you're 20, you worry about what everybody's thinking about you. When you're 40, you try not to think about what everybody's thinking about you. And then by the time you're 60, it's like, you realize nobody's been thinking about you in the first place.

Yeah, and there's a good lesson we could tell to the earlier versions of ourselves.

Right, you can put any age on that, but yeah, it's true. If you realize in hindsight that people really aren't that concerned with you, that they're just mostly thinking about themselves, then you just follow your own path. And I remember listening to Ted talk by this young fellow, I don't recall his name, but he got bullied terribly in school. Yeah. He just decided that he was just going to be himself. And he said, if they're going to hate me, they're going to hate the real me. So God love him. He was, you know, going to be authentic no matter what. So I think just having that, um, resolve just to be yourself regardless and to be unapologetic about it.

Yes. And, and share that because if, if we lived in a world where everybody was the same, how boring would the world be?

Right, yeah, exactly.

We all have our own different gifts and some of us are silly and some are very serious and I intersect in between all of that, but it's There's great growth in that when you fight for your goals and recognize that your dreams are possible, when you have that mindset shift and that adaptability to overcome these challenges along your way and realize that this is just a stepping stone. This is a stepping stone. Sometimes things come up that are unexpected and you say, okay, yeah, I recognize that this is a puzzle. I'm going to overcome it. And I I'm going to take that next step and, and live my dream and, and go all in like what you're doing with the voice acting and meeting. I'm sure you're meeting some incredible people outside of like, could you tell us a little bit of some examples of people you met through this journey?

Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. Oh, so many interesting people in the voice acting world. And it's so neat to meet the face behind the voice. And you're like, oh, that's what you look like. And it's just made me more curious to find out who is the face behind other voices. Like in a lot of the movies that we see, like animated movies, it's great when you realize, oh, that's who that was. It's so cool.

Are you ever surprised when you see the face? Cause you don't expect that person to be. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. It's like, Oh, I didn't realize they, they could kind of go in that direction. Right. They have that ability to, to stretch in those directions. So that's really cool. Yeah. Goodness. So many really talented, talented voice actors through the global voice acting Academy. And they, they've just been so supportive along my journey as well. Like. They've helped me with everything, just right from the start to getting started, to getting my home studio set up, to my ongoing development, getting my business going, all of that. our business coaching program. I've met some wonderful people as well and people who are curious about and they want to learn more about voice acting. And then also locally here, when I tell people that I'm into voice acting, they're like, Oh, that's really interesting. They're really curious. They want to learn more. And they're like, Oh, you should talk to this person there. They work with such and such company or production company or here's a videographer. And I just find that people are so warm and willing to help you when you put that out there, like what you're doing.

Yeah. And I noticed, I follow you on Instagram and I noticed recently you stepped outside your comfort zone a little bit and you started going to networking events. Was that a challenge at first to do that or was it just more of a decision that I'm going to put myself out there and start to expand my network and meet new people and share who I am and grow? Was that a challenge at first or did it come naturally to you?

Um, it took me a while to even call myself a voiceover artist for one thing. Yeah. And then to share that with other people, like, I'm not sure what that was that was holding me back from sharing that. Like even seeing myself as a voiceover artist, like, well, I've been doing this for a while and the training, like I've done all the things. Right. So, um, at what point?

Yeah, exactly.

Put the reps in and, um, You know, I don't mind networking, but just it's different though, when you're like, this is who I am and you're presenting yourself, like there's a decision point where you have to be ready.

Before you would probably go to those events when you weren't wearing the badge of honor of I'm Patricia, the voice actor, you were Patricia, the other person, your former Patricia professional entity. So it's like putting that badge of honor on this is who I am and showing up on apologetic that this is who, who I'm coming in and, and sharing who I am today and who I am going forward. So, so.

Right. Yeah. And it, yeah, it takes courage too, because, you know, sometimes people will, you know, make little comments and you wonder like, Oh, what do they mean? But you just have to let that go. Like, and just remember again, that's real. That's not about you. That's about whatever's going on with that person and just, you know, stay focused, stay on your journey.

Yeah, it's your dream and you have to fight for your goals and go all in and share that with people and inspire them. Because I'm sure, I'm quite positive, you are inspiring people. And if you don't know it, you are. Oh, thank you. Yeah. So, you know, you have to keep doing that and challenging yourself to keep showing up. This is a little bit of an interesting take on this because I did a little bit of research on you. Great thing about the internet. So you're also a certified executive coach, which is really interesting. How has your experience in coaching and leadership influenced your approach to voice acting?

Oh, that's a great question. Yeah. Certainly the confidence I built through following those paths has helped with where I've gone with the voice acting because there's also that very strong business element to that as well, like understanding business and how that works. And my coaching program, I went to Royal Roads University and I originally went to get the credential and the skill and all of that, but I found that that program was really transformational and it helped me become more aware of myself and how I was showing up in the world and more aware of other people. and the challenges they face, like leaders in particular, because they need to appear confident and competent both to their team members and to their senior leaders as well. And where do they go for support? So that's part of what drew me to coaching because I wanted to be able to support people in that way. But yeah, it's certainly through that experience as well as working with leaders and so on, it helped me to build the confidence and that self-awareness and that confidence to move into another direction.

that insight from coaching and that prior experience and supporting and helping others. What questions do you ask yourself when you may be forcing a challenge or something that you need to dissect and review and negotiate with yourself sometimes? Because that's Are there any specific things that you do to help you in your journey right now that you've learned from coaching, like a question you might ask that you could share with our audience?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, goodness. There's so many different questions. I love questions. You know, one question that really just landed with me, and it was a question that my alumni coach asked me while I was in my coaching program. I was telling her about a puzzle or challenge I was having at work and going on and on about it. And she gave me the space to just explore it for a while. And then she asked the most puzzling question. She said, how can you maximize this opportunity? And I thought, I wasn't describing it. Wait. But just how she framed the question, because I was like, but no, I'm describing a problem. But she said, how can you maximize this opportunity? So it really invited me to look for the opportunity. I'm like, ooh. And I love those types of questions that just stop you in your tracks and kind of confuse you for a second. And then you have to start thinking like, what are the possibilities here? I love that.

So the right there is, I think that's just a huge takeaway from everyone listening today. What's the, like, this may be a puzzle or a challenge. What's the opportunity in this? What's the learning? What, how can I, how can I maximize and grow from this? Or what am I, what else can I see in this right now? Yeah, that's awesome. Anything else, any other questions that you share?

Um, another one that I've used again and again, and people have told me that it's quite helpful for them as well is what is within my control. Right. So when you think about a certain situation, um, and then also to also always look at, you know, if you're pointing your finger at somebody, you've got three fingers pointing back at you. It's like, what's my role in this.

My dad always said that to me, there's three fingers pointing back at you. And, and I would, I would, when I was a young, young boy, I would always argue with them. No, they're not, they're sideways.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. Like there's those great opportunities to learn from that. Like there's, when you, when you are pointing the finger, sometimes actually it, it might be actually you and you're not even realizing it as a leader.

There's a circumstance and we have a thought about that circumstance which causes us to feel a certain way and then act a certain way. So if we can interrupt that pattern and think about, well, what's a thought that's going to serve me better in this situation, right? Like always have that perspective. Like what thought can I choose to think in this moment that's going to better serve me and those around me?

100%. I listen to a lot of thought leaders. There was one that I listened to about three or four months ago, and I always have a journal I write down when I'm listening to thought leaders, when I'm not driving, of course. But I was listening to Ed Mayette, and he was talking about, brilliant, brilliant person. And he was talking about handling problems in your life. And I wrote down seven pages of notes. And there was one thing that really changed me profoundly. When we have challenges or puzzles, a lot of times we try to find how to fix it right away. but control the controllables and focus on the solution. And when you put your focus on the solution instead of the problem, it becomes so much better and easier to manage and handle.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Sometimes we can get so laser focused on what's not working that we don't see everything else that's available.

Yeah, that opening up our eyes to other possibilities and other perspectives. So you describe yourself as a lifelong learner, which you are. How's this commitment to personal growth influenced your career pivots and your success in voice acting?

Oh, yeah. Thank you for asking that. Goodness. Well, I think as with any venture, like just recognizing that it's a journey and you're never done, like learning is a process that kind of never ends and just applying that to another area in your life. So with voice acting, it's like, it's that curiosity that I'm led by and that desire to explore and try different things, push myself out of my comfort zone. I've done that many times throughout my life and career so far. And I remember somebody telling me years ago that I tend to do things that other people aren't willing to do. Like I didn't go to university. Yeah, I didn't go to university right out of high school. I worked first because we didn't come from money, so I would have been on my own, right? So I didn't want to take on the debt without knowing what I wanted to do. And I wanted to get some real life experience first and figure out what I wanted to do. So I didn't start university until I was in my mid-late 20s. And I did my business degree, I did it part-time and chipped away at it. It took me six years while working full-time. So it's just that, knowing that if you put your mind to anything, you can achieve it.

100% and sometimes I was listening to a thought leader talk about this and they said, we were talking to somebody and said, I don't know if I could go back to school because it would take five years. I think it was Brian Tracy was talking about this. And what he said in response is, well, where will you be five years anyways?

That's right. Yeah, time's gonna go by anyways. Yeah.

Yeah, and when we look at success stories of the past, when we commit our mind to doing that and have that unstoppable resilience to succeed, you think of, if you look up and do the history on Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, And even Abraham Lincoln that became president of the United States, he went through so many steps along the way, was defeated, and finally he became one of the greatest presidents of all time. And Colonel Sanders has arguably maybe made the best chicken.

Yeah.

I'm starting to get hungry. So what resources or books or mentors have been instrumental in your growth journey for you?

Yeah, like you mentioned, Brian Tracy's one of them. Goodness, there's so many. Jack Canfield's one that I followed for a long time. I still have his book. Yeah, The Success Principles. It's less known than the chicken soup for this whole series, I think.

Yeah, surprising. Yeah, yeah.

But he's been in this personal development world for decades and still he is a powerhouse. Yeah. Oh, so Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn.

The GOAT, the greatest of all time. Yeah.

All the greats. And then some of the newer thought leaders like Ed Milet, like you mentioned, Dan Martell, just these powerhouses. Right. And I just really gravitate to them because They walk the walk. They don't just talk the talk. They walk the walk. They live what they teach. They have that integrity and just such high achievers and pushing me to go out of my comfort zone in all aspects, really. Yeah, just so inspiring.

And do you find you have more energy after you listen to one of those thought leaders and it just inspires you to do more after you listen to them?

Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I feel strongly that it's not enough to just kind of listen and be inspired because inspiration wears off, like committing to- Execution. Right, to do something, right? And so I know especially, I was just listening to, a video by Dan Martell this morning and just something he said. I paused the video and I just sat with it for a few minutes and I integrate what he says. I don't just listen to it passively to the best of my ability. I know yours is the same. It just becomes part of who you are and how you show up in the world. Yeah, I feel so blessed to have influencers like that.

He says this, the world will show you where you're not free. And when I catch myself having an emotional reaction, I've said, okay, what is real about this right now? Why am I reacting? And then I've all of a sudden changed my whole perspective and the story that I'm telling myself. Patricia, I've asked this question a few times and I want to make sure. What book have you read recently that has had an impact on you that you could share with our audience?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh goodness. I have quite a pile of them, including buy back your time. I have to mention that one because it's been very influential by Dan Martell.

Yeah.

And Atomic Habits is the one that I've really been enjoying lately.

I started listening to that on Audible.

Yes, that is a great book by James Clear.

What's your biggest takeaway so far from it?

Oh, That our habits form our identity, and we decide who we want to be, and then we align our habits with our identity, that's just so powerful. Yeah, that's so true.

That's everything. For me, I've been on this journey for, fitness and wellness. I've gotten into the habit of going to the gym often at 5 a.m. in the morning, and that's just become part of my routine. Now the last few days I have not because I've been a little tired, but I've gone at 8 30, but it's still a habit. So yeah, it's It's highly recommended. I haven't finished it, but have you finished the book or are you still?

I haven't yet because I still have like a number of them on the go, but I just love how the book is structured. Like every chapter has a little summary of the main points, but I would highly recommend reading the whole thing for context. But yeah, it just is, I mean, it's simple, but not easy in a lot of these things.

Yeah, I know that's definitely going to be something I got to go back and revisit. That book, the amount that I've listened to it so far, I actually had to stop. And when I'm listening to something like that, on Audible, I'll stop and I'll open up an app on my phone and write down a few phrases so I capture it. Because there's so many gold nuggets that you can take and you look at that again, oh yeah, this is powerful.

Oh yeah, yeah. And some things you have to listen to again and again until you're like, oh okay, now I get it, right?

Yeah, because you're not at that point in your life, and because of new experiences over the last few years, you're like, oh, this impacts me a different way than what it used to. And it's exactly the message I needed to hear today to help me.

Exactly. Yeah.

Like today, our conversation is, I hope, and I know, is exactly the message that some of our listeners need to hear today.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah.

I'm sure there's some little nugget, like I know with anything that I listen to, there's always at least one thing that's just, oh wow, like that light bulb moment or aha moment.

There were a lot of nuggets today. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, your story, I just want to wrap things up and just say, you know, you're such a positive, you know, reminder of embracing change, overcoming beliefs, limiting beliefs can lead to new possibilities, new paths. And it was such great to hear your journey and your story, but it was even more exciting to know where you're going.

Yes.

Because the best is still coming and as you come across new puzzles and embracing change and keep investing yourself and sharing that with the world, you're going to continue to have an impact on others. So where can people connect with you and learn more about your voice acting and hear some of your voice work? I'd love to make sure people take advantage of hearing about that.

Sure, sure. Thank you for asking, Brad. I appreciate it. If you want to find me on Instagram, it is voiceoverpatricia, all one word. And if you want to check out my website, it is lightfromwithinvo, alloneword.com. And you can check out my a commercial demo there. And if anybody has any questions about voiceover or any of the topics that we've talked about today, I'd be happy to connect with them.

Yeah, you're a very giving person. Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. Happy to just share. I mean, I love talking about it anyway. So, and one thing I also wanted to share with your audience as well is, and you're aware of this also, and it's part of me stretching out of my comfort zone. I started this hundred days of Instagram live streams challenge.

Yeah.

It's of course a Dan Martell drop in our program. And I have this template that I use. It's a hundred days of, and there's a blank space for whatever challenge you want to put in there. And I put like little stickers for every single day that I've done a live stream and I have stayed consistent. Like, so today would be day number 68. Once I'm going to do my live stream later today.

Way to go. Yes. And there's that commitment. Way to go. Please send that to me as well. I'll get some stickers.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy to share the template with anybody who's interested. And if you have questions about that at all, I'm happy to share.

Yeah, that's great. And folks do follow Patricia on her Instagram. Not only is she sharing her journey as a voice actor, but just there's some incredible content that you'll always go away from feeling better about yourself with what she's sharing. So I highly recommend you connect and reach out and best thing about the world that we live in, you can connect and get to know each other and support each other. So it's a great opportunity. Patricia, it was a real pleasure for you to have you today. I'm very fortunate to know you and I appreciate you being here.

Thank you so much. I feel the same way. So blessed to know you, Brett, and thank you so much for having me on today.

Awesome. Thank you, Patricia. Take care.
