Heather Blackburn

After 15 years of working in the healthcare and post-secondary sectors, I am diving in to voice acting and narration. I have always been a great public speaker, lecturer and spokesperson. I often hear that there is an intellectual - yet casual tone to my voice that is engaging, soothing and motivating. My favorite compliment was when a colleague of mine came to a special event I was hosting and said Heather, I could listen to you talk about anything, all day long Heather, you know exactly when and where to pause to draw the audience in, to make them feel something". Growing up in rural Canada in the late 90's, my family and teachers just laughed when I told them my dream job was to be a voice actor. I quickly tucked that dream away and focused on building my family and career. I'm now in a place where the dreams and opportunities I once buried are calling to me again. This is a step in that direction. A low risk opportunity to learn a bunch and get some experience.
