Barb Lyon
Voice Artist

So the last few weeks were…a lot. Like a lot, a lot. And it taught me things about myself. But let me set the stage a bit. See, last fall, I talked with an immersive audiobook company. I’ve done plenty of narration work before, but immersive audiobook narration is a different animal. It sounded interesting, so I went ahead and cut sample audio which they accepted. And then it got quiet. I figured I may never hear from them. Oh well. Easy come easy go. And then it happened.

So, who are you? Really. Do you answer that question with your job title? I’m a voice actor. Maybe you answer it with the hobby you pursue. I’m a dog trainer. Or maybe by what’s in your heart. Maybe you feel really good when you drop a well-timed compliment and see someone’s face light up. Or by that one quality that keeps coming up for you. Maybe you love solving problems. But not one of those answers fully captures who you are. You don’t have to limit yourself.
