Bring on the milk & cookies...because Santa has arrived! Brad Hyland, who is not only the voice of Santa for the Elf on the Shelf series, he is also a coach, mentor, voice actor, husband, father, grandfather and friend. He says he didn't really start living until 2016, which is when he returned to voice over, a career that Brad says was 40 years in the making! Before voice over came back into his life, he enjoyed being involved with stand up comedy, extra work for on-camera projects, was a frontman for a rock & blues band & had a long career in the sales & corporate world. As a voice actor Brad has had the pleasure to work on many amazing projects, like Elf on the Shelf, but also is the voice of Charlie the Tuna for Starkist, has narrated films for National Parks, multiple characters on video games, and currently can be heard on the Titanic Experience tour.
We chat about trusting yourself, how to be natural in your reads, being trained, having confidence, get good at auditioning, using an audition tracker...Plus all the usually creative chaos, like what is the strangest thing any of us bought online & what are a few things Brad collects ???
