Minneapolis","description":"As the opening of my podcast informs you, I do not live in Minneapolis, but across the country in Sonoma County, CA. I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about voices lately. Not the loud ones. Not the ones on cable news. The steady ones. The voice that explains something complicated and suddenly you can breathe again. The voice on stage that reminds you who you are. The voice that says, \u201cYou\u2019re not alone.\u201d For almost forty years, Teri Parker Brown has been that voice in Minneapolis. She\u2019s stood on the stages of Chanhassen, The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and History Theatre in Saint Paul. She\u2019s narrated for Blue Cross,American Express, 3M and many other name brands. She\u2019s guided people through healthcare modules, commercials, and stories. Her voice is described as warm. Smart. Inviting. Like a best friend. And yet\u2026 she lives in Minneapolis; a place that has known beauty \u2014 and tension. Community \u2014 and conflict. Immigration enforcement activity has increased and as a result, protests fill the streets. But today isn\u2019t about headlines. It\u2019s about what it feels like to love a place \u2014and stay with it when things feel complicated. With deep respect, I\u2019ll be speaking with Teri about her career and what happens when the place that shaped your voice becomes unsettled and uncertain? It\u2019s also my chance to meet a fellow Door Builder in the Building Doors VO campaign. Created by fellow voiceactor, Christy Harst, Building Doors advocates for equal opportunities in the voice-over industry, for both men and women, the campaign aims to foster industry-wide equity.
