Catch a rising star: The voice over career begins for Bethany Grace.
While I was sitting around listening to some pre-mix tracks of her new demo, I got to wondering where the journey of voice over might lead her. She is fresh, vibrant, intuitive… She reads with more confidence than a lot of people who are trying to break into the voice over market. Her ability to take direction is keener than most novice talent. But she has talent, and I think she is on the rise.
Now I must admit that I have somewhat of a bias because I had the pleasure of spending many months with Bethany in the studio. She was always a “day brightener” upon her arrival, one time still managing to smile even though she showed up wearing a cast from an injury sustained in a fall. Even with that, she still laughed and smiled and that’s what made her fun to be around.
She seems to be headed in the right direction. Along with her voice over lessons she was taking acting and singing lessons and attending auditions and runway photo shoots in New York City. Where she managed to find the time for voice work is beyond me, but she found it. She is busy, driven, motivated and hungry for a break. With that kind of attention to her future there is a good chance she might get one.
I think she is a star on the rise. She has already lived quite a life and she has the whole world in front of her. While listening to her tracks I compiled a short compilation of them and tossed them into a file, which you can find at the bottom of this post.
I was most impressed with her class and her style, and her ability to do what a lot of people with a lot more experience still have trouble doing – reading copy as if the words were their own.
I think you might be impressed as well, so give it a listen. What might impress you the most is that she is only 10 years old. Bethany Grace Premix
