For this assignment I decided to interview Corina Boettger, (also known as @corina.boettger on Instagram), is a voice actor known for voicing many characters from video games to TV shows.
I chose to message Corina because they are very talented at what they do and seem very passionate about their career. Currently I am still not sure about what I would like to have as a career and this assignment was perfect to talk about a career I might be interested in, that’s another reason why I chose to message Corina about their job as a voice actor.
I learned that there are many obstacles in any job but if you are willing to work for what you want to do and are truly passionate about what you do you can find ways around those obstacles. I also learned that voice acting is a job you need to practice for A LOT and it takes a lot of time.
