I had the great fortune of doing a three-day intensive (10 am – 7 pm every day!) with the great Tom Keegan. It really reignited my “Actor flame”–what a great reinvigoration of fundamentals I learned as an actual child. Really wonderful to explore them afresh as an adult.
Two characters I voice in the mobile gacha game Path to Nowhere have new skins coming out. You can hear a little of the voice lines releasing with the skin in the videos on these tweets 🙂
A long time coming, I took the intro class through The Mocap Vaults with legendary performer Richard Dorton. Performance capture is something I’m focusing on in 2024, and this was a great launchpad. I can’t wait to get moving in the volume! Watch my pcap page this year for more movement and experience to fill in.
My very first audiobook as a narrator is now out. The book, Northeaster by Cathie Pelletier, is a non-fiction narrative accounting of a historic blizzard in Maine. My own grandmother is an ancillary character in this book, which was a really special experience. Audiofile choose it for their December Editors’ Picks, and gave a glowing review:
Narrator Morgan Bailey Keaton gives listeners a bird’s-eye view of the effect this deluge had on the lives of many different people before the dawn of sophisticated weather equipment. Keaton gives an outstanding performance using emotions that audiences would not expect to hear in a true account of this disaster. She performs the dialogue of each character and captures the urgency and pain of Mainers as they hope against hope that they’ll all stay safe from the monster storm.
So nice to see these folks at the Halp Network ugly sweater community meetup. End of year is such a special time full of gathering and community opportunities, and I’m very grateful to all who put the time and energy into allowing our industry to come together and celebrate what we’ve accomplished throughout the year, celebrate each other, and refresh for the year to come.
Attended Get Your Game On 2023. What an incredible gathering of people. I learned so much, reconnected with many folks I already knew, and made some new friends. So energizing to get out of the booth and into a crowd sometimes!
I took Singing for Animation, a multi-week course taught by Danny Fehsenfeld through Voice Masters. This class pushed me in a lot of ways, both as a character actor and as a vocalist. I’m raring to go to sing in character and tell a story through song.
