Get Phillipa on Headspace!

One of the side quests I started last year was voice acting. I started learning more about the art of voice acting and began applying to any ads I found interesting! I need to work on my samples and reels to show the variety I can offer but hey, that’s not going to stop me from applying for VA jobs! As a loyal Headspace user, I remember thinking many years ago how amazing it would be to become one of the voices on the app. Years later, that little spark, that little idea, has come back even stronger, and it’s very exciting.

Who knows where this VA journey will take me, but I’m doing it for the love of the game - the journey, not necessarily the destination. Having 2 VA jobs so far has taught me so much.

The main thing is you absolutely cannot be embarrassed, you can’t be scared, you can’t give it 50%; otherwise, it just doesn’t sound right. It doesn’t meet the needs of your character or the script you’re following, and it’ll just feel flat.

Lord knows what my neighbours think when I audition for some of these roles, but I’ve had no noise complaints so far 😂

With my passion for coaching and supporting others, as well as building out my business and allll the layoffs I’ve experienced…I wonder if there’s a way to blend this experience with my daily meditation routine. But turning this into something that could benefit others, I mean, there are many meditation videos and breathwork sessions about decompression, avoiding work stress, returning to the workplace, etc., so I want to see what I can do under the ‘layoffs/redundancies/uncertainties at work space because if anyone can relate to you in that situation…It’s me!

So if you’re looking to try something new in 2025, do it! I’ll be sharing plenty more about my side quests ✨
