Oh! And that’s not all! Not only did I have the honor of attending this great event and meeting James, I also had the pleasure of sitting next to the wonderful voice actress Randy Thomas. I didn’t know it was her prior to the introduction they made, announcing her presence to the audience.  When she stood up, I was surprised! I said "Oh my gosh! The Randy Thomas. What? Lucky me!” I had the pleasure of meeting, laughing and enjoying the whole experience of James Arnold Taylor’s show, her friend, and colleague, with  Randy Thomas Voice Actress, Television Announcer, VO Mastery Education Event Producer, Co-author Voice For Hire. Live your dream, Use your voice!  Lo and behold she too is a voice talent I admire. Randy also shared by offering me information and insight. One thing she said, that sticks with me to this very day was “Madelyn just do it!” Accompanied with a big encouraging smile. The way she said it, with so much enthusiasm and conviction gave me chills. She gave me her business card, and I’ve kept in touch periodically, and she’s been very kind and supportive to me. Thank you so much, Randy Thomas. You’re the best! 

I appreciate them both. They have encouraged and ignited the joy in me about my ability to do many voices. Voices I’ve allowed to lay dormant for too long. I believe this experience was one of Gods ways of providing me with the validation and encouragement I needed in order to overcome the uncertainty I had, inducing a quick change that gave me the boost that inspired and pushed me to strive harder and forward, regardless of my age. This is when I dove into writing and creating the Miss Mac Show. And it was my first time using many of my character voices. The rest is history! There is no longer a doubt in my mind. I can do this!
