Hey Tracy!
Great interview. Two things.
1. I disagree with Terry’s stand on classes/working out. I find that even the best performers get “soft” from time to time. While classes might not always be necessary, I find the actors that workout in some way every day also tend to be the ones that book more often. For me it’s the idea that an audition is a time to shine not stretch. If you go days in between auditions, and you’re not staying fit, then you’re going to be cold.
I don’t think it’s different than any other form of performance. Actors and dancers need to stay in shape, and so do VO performers.
2. The downloadable version of the interview has eight minutes of dead air at the end. Just thought you’d like to know

Keep up the great work!
