Synopsis

Samantha Paris’s Finding the Bunny is an engaging and heart-warming combination of memoir, business book, inspirational story and inside look at today’s most ubiquitous, most influential, and most invisible art. Through narration, flashback, inner monologue, and snappy laugh-out-loud dialogue that moves seamlessly from past to present and professional to personal and back again, Finding the Bunny artfully peels back the curtain on the fascinating world of voice-over, and much more.With untethered honesty and humor, voice-over genius Paris reveals her intensely personal story— that of a woman in mid-career, recovering from a disastrous childhood, dealing with a failed but far-from-loveless marriage, running a hugely successful business, shepherding thousands of students through the learning process so that they can realize their dreams, while dealing with a burning internal conflict about what happened to hers.As Peter Coyote writes in this book’s Foreword, “Finding the Bunny is an eye-opener, a thought-provoker, an education, an adventure and an inspiration.(It’s) about transformation more than anything else—offering ideas that may challenge or freshen your thinking, enrich your life and light your own path.” Samantha Paris is a natural born teacher, entrepreneur and force of nature. Her greatest gift has been teaching others that the power of possibility actually already exists in your own internal life, if you just give voice to it. As stated in the BookLife Prize Critic's Report, "Paris’s memoir is a great read. The book is structured well and the story flows smoothly and at a good pace throughout.The prose is smooth, clear, and readable. Paris's unapologetic voice is compelling and true to her story. Readers will find this an enlightening introduction to the fascinating world of voice-over acting. Finding the Bunny is truly an original work. Not only is the memoir refreshing and authentic, it also explores a relatively unknown industry. Samantha Paris's character is engaging and vivid and evolves throughout the memoir. The secondary characters are also well developed."

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Samantha Paris is an award-winning voice actor, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of Voicetrax San Francisco, the largest and most respected voice-over academy in the United States. Born Bobbi Block in Southern California, Samantha began performing at the age of five. After landing a commercial agent at the age of 16, Samantha enjoyed a career that included nearly 1,000 national and regional commercials and roles in nearly 200 half-hour animated television cartoon shows, including the mega-hit cult series, "Jem and the Holograms." She appeared in several episodic television roles, a starring role opposite Michael Landon in a two-episode storyline on "Highway to Heaven", and in a CBS Afternoon Playhouse episode, "I Think I’m Having a Baby." Yet with all her performing success, including three CLIO Awards, Samantha yearned to live near the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. So, at the height of her voice-over career success in Los Angeles, she moved to the Bay Area.It wasn’t long before Samantha was unwittingly thrust into the teaching profession. Before she knew it, Samantha had unconsciously created a groundbreaking training program and a flourishing business. Voicetrax San Francisco was founded in 1988, with its studio built soon thereafter in Sausalito. Throughout the years, Samantha has successfully trained more than10,000 aspiring and working voice actors in the Bay Area. Her students represent people from all walks of life and backgrounds—many of whom have gone on to book voice-over jobs regularly to supplement their incomes, and many others who go on to make voice-over their full-time and handsome living. With a fierce commitment to the philosophy that talent can be taught, Samantha built a hugely successful business, strictly through enthusiastic word of mouth and substantial media attention. Above all, through Voicetrax, Samantha has helped transform the lives of people through the process of helping them find their voices and, ultimately, find their bunnies. In the process, she found her bunny.
