Growing up, her love for nature and animals, nurtured by her father, drew her to the field of animal science. She's currently an animal technician for a laboratory in Salt lake city Utah, and in her second year of a degree in Animal health and behavior. Animals have always been Ravens drive, but when posed with the question “Who are you?” The answer has always been the same; "I am a writer". First she published a short story, a science fiction book called ‘Ineffable', when Raven was 18, and before then she'd spent years scribbling stories into school notebooks, and entertaining family with whimsical tales of fantastical lands, aliens, and adventures. Finally, after years of tireless work, she finished ‘Nothing is beautiful', her magnum opus. The recent audio book rendition of this amazing novel, is narrated by the talented Jack de Golia who has brought new life to the story, and Raven is so excited to share it with you all. 'Nothing is Beautiful' - Life is hard for Sharkey and the other scrappers in Lawrence.After the Great Oil Crisis the Earth became a hot, wild, dangerous place. Those that could reach the portals left the planet long ago. Those left behind live a desperate and brutal existence, surviving on the bones of a ruined civilization, fighting and killing each other in a world taken back by the earth.But Sharkey has hope. Can he and his band of followers make it through the Nothing alive? And if they do, will they find the salvation they are looking for?Nothing is Beautiful is a post apocalyptic western sci fi story of love and friendship, terror and loss, and fierce determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity. You will not soon forget this compelling and original book.Raven's Links - https://www.audible.com/author/Raven-Harris-Keim/B07GR3Q94Zhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Ray-Harris-Keim/author/B0Support the Show.This 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!

    Psychology and the Actor | Veronica Boneta

    Play Episode Play 29 sec Highlight Listen Later Sep 7, 2023 60:19


    Gaby, Joz, and Angela speak with Veronica Boneta. Veronica is a charismatic enthusiast of the arts, a mother, and author. Having worked in theater for many years, she turned to the field of Psychology while also bringing with her the knowledge she had acquired as an actress. Now a full time Psychotherapist, she looks forward to furthering her research in the intertwining of Psychology and Acting.While discussing her acting beginnings, Veronica touches on the acting method she learned, Psycho-physical. Psycho-physical Awareness is a popular acting technique used in many schools and universities in the U.S. and Europe. This technique works on the relationship between the mind and the body and at developing an actor's conscious awareness. It is the totality where the actor fully experiences and embodies the role, is present in the moment, drawing on sensory information and experience, as opposed to simply sorting out the movements as they might in early stages of rehearsal.At their cores, psychology, cognitive science, and theater are all trying to do the same thing, which is understand why people do the things they do, our range of behavior, and where it comes from without judgement. Actors must do real work to temporarily convince themselves and others of unreal circumstances. Yet they must be mindful of how much of their own lives and experiences they infuse their characters with. Actors must understand the complexities of life.Support the showFollow all the Chaos - Website - https://www.keepingupwithchaos.net/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/keepingupwithchaospodcast

    As VO artists, our office is often a closet. We often struggle to make sure the space works for us and what we need but it is also a comfortable space that will allow us to spend hours auditioning and working. Angela and Jozlyn chat about rearranging their booths and adding some acoustic treatments and equipment. Jozlyn shares some on-camera journey news for herself and her son. We are training, and doing headshots, and shopping for agents. It is all very exciting and it makes us think about how we started and how much training is necessary as you progress within your career. Angela, Lloyd and Joz chat about their thoughts on training, starting out, as they got going, and what they are thinking about it now. We discuss the importance of continuing to train as you move forward in your career but also how beneficial it is to incorporate new things into your training such as acting and improv to develop new skills.We also recognize that sometimes you have to look beyond the place where you started and experience what other people/coaches can potentially offer. It is very much about growth and stepping outside of your comfort zone. This can be scary but also rewarding. On the flip side of that, you can also come across people whose coaching style is not necessarily a good fit for you, so at that point it is important to look back at that experience and take it as a another step in your journey, and let it go.Always remember who you are and what you bring to the table.Episode Links:Bunny StudioThe Voice Actors StudioThe Online ActorSupport the showFollow all the Chaos - Website - https://www.keepingupwithchaos.net/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/keepingupwithchaospodcast
