Note to self blog

Keeping note of daily positives in my life as a British female Voiceover Artist. This might range from landing a cracking new voiceover gig to discovering a new editing shortcut to escaping the booth for a run. Massive or miniscule, I want to take the time to feel gratitude for the steps I'm taking towards achieving my goals.

Life can seem tough at times, but there's a positive in every day.
