Remote work is actually accessibility and it's possible for people to do good work from home in a place where they're comfortable and they have the things they need.
Ever wondered what it's like to make a living with your voice? In this episode of '2nd Cup', Tim Heller sits down with Maria Pendolino, a voice actor whose journey from community theatre to national ad campaigns is nothing short of inspiring. Maria's story begins in Buffalo, NY, where she started acting at just 11 years old. She dreamt of starring in local productions of 'The Sound of Music' while belting out show tunes in her parents' basement.
Fast forward to today, and Maria's voice is heard in ads for Geico, Glad Trash Bags, and Xfinity, among others. Maria shares the ups and downs of her career, offering a candid look at the challenges and triumphs she's faced along the way. From the hustle of TV and film to finding her niche in voiceover work, her journey is a testament to resilience and passion.
But it's not all work and no play—Maria also gives us a peek into her personal life, including her hilarious appearance on HGTV's 'House Hunters' with her husband Eric and their four rescue cats. A strong advocate for accessibility, Maria discusses her role in the Disabled Voice Actors Database and the one in four coalition, a nonprofit pushing for greater inclusivity in Hollywood. Her commitment to making the industry more accessible is both inspiring and necessary.
Whether you're an aspiring actor, a fan of voiceover work, or just someone who loves a good story, this episode has something for you. Grab your morning brew and join Tim and Maria for a conversation that's equal parts entertaining and enlightening.
