Press Release Summary: Industry expert Cynthia Songé explores a different side of
the voice over \"signature voice\" debate, introducing new arguments that support the
potential for a voice actor to have multiple signature voices so long as they ring
true in the actor\'s performance.

Press Release Body: Toronto, Canada (Express Press Release) February 20 - Cynthia
Songé, voice over instructor, voice actress and casting director, is this week\'s
expert on the podcast Voice Over Experts, the most popular and subscribed to voice
over podcast for beginner and professional voice actors. Cynthia Songé works with
Susan Blu at Blupka Productions as a voice over instructor and casting director.
Together, Susan and Cynthia have co-authored "Word of Mouth, A Guide to VoiceOver
Excellence, Vol. 3″.

This week, listeners are engaged by Cynthia Songé in her lecture \"Debating the
Signature Voice\". Students discover that personality is a passport to individuality
-- the individuality that is at the very core of a performance and the energy that
people will respond to. There will always be different emotional responses for every
project, but voice actors have to first know who they are and trust themselves to
break free from the limitations that may be imposed by the past understanding that a
voice actor only has one \"signature\" voice.

As a contributor to the Voice Over Experts Podcast, Cynthia Songé lectures on a
regular basis, helping aspiring talent to understand, develop and succeed in the
business of voice acting and voice overs. The lectures are available in the form of
podcasts and are available for free subscription through the Apple iTunes Podcast
Directory, to be enjoyed at any time.

The Voice Over Experts Podcast can be found and subscribed to for free in the iTunes
Podcast Directory and online at the Voices.com Podcast Center.
