Everyone is Psychic by Ann O’Brien

Kalmenson Grad, Maya Aoki Tuttle says:
“I've taken the Foundation 1 + 2 with Steve Staley, Animation 1 + 2 with Dino Andrade (multiple times! I love these classes!), and Improv with Stephen Tobolowsky (life changing class!). I loved taking workshops with Cathy Kalmenson, Kathy Grable, Ted Sroka. Not only did my Kalmenson classes give me a great bedrock of voiceover skills, they were incredibly fun!

Last year, I signed with LA agency VOX. I can't announce much yet, but I've booked 5 guest and recurring roles on various major network animated series through Vox. I also booked my first major role with performance capture on a large video game franchise, which I'm in the process of recording (see pic! so futuristic!).

Kalmenson was fundamental to my growth as a voice actor. Anyone that asks me for advice, I always steer them toward Kalmenson classes. Thank you, Kalmenson!”

Kalmenson grad, Dana Kelly Jr. is “delighted to report that [he is] currently working a scripted podcast for “Twelve Chimes It’s Midnight,” a YouTube channel based in San Francisco. Kind of a classic Rod Serling “Twilight Zone” motif. But all original material.

Kalmenson grad, Ifeyinwa Unachukwu, has booked an audiobook!

The book is called Vagabonds by Eloghosa Osunde, and I am one of 6 narrators in the book. Although, the class I took was for commercials, I’d like to think the Method also came into play when I auditioned.”
