Things will kick off with the Navigating the Streaming World As A Black Girl Gamer Panel, which is set to feature Jeannail Carter, Xmiramira and CupAhNoodle, with Storymodebae acting as moderator. The group will be sharing “tips and insight into the journey of developing your own personal brand and what lies at the end of the partnership rainbow”.
The other panel announced is A Taster Into The World Of Voice Acting, which will feature appearances from Natalia Hinds, Danielle McRae and Cara Ricketts, with CheyenneTheGeek set to moderate. The panel will be informing viewers on the expectations of Voice Directors and will be discussing if typecasting exists within the industry.
What do Voice Directors expect when you walk in the room? Does typecasting exist in Voice Acting?
