ANNE CLOUD

Like our life, my office and recording studio are completely mobile. As we travel in our tiny house on wheels, we pull a cargo trailer turned recording studio that is outfitted with all my professional recording equipment so I can work any time, anywhere. Knowing I wasn’t always going to be in control of the environment around the trailer, I invested in top notch gear to ensure my sound is broadcast quality. 

Here’s an example of a typical week in our life – uh wait no, there’s no typical week.  Hard as we try there is no routine. Not even a rhythm.  We are currently living a day-by-day, flying-by-the-seat-of-our-pants kind of existence.  And yet, there are some constants.  

For me, it’s work.  As a full-time voice actor I have the extreme pleasure of taking the little letters on a page and breathing life into them.  Storytelling.  It’s magic and it lights my heart on fire every day.  So is it work really? I suppose – in the way a witch’s work is making potions and doing spells.  My favorite genres of voice over to do are brand anthems, PSAs, and children’s audiobooks.  I also do a lot of corporate and commercial work for clients like Pfizer, Mastercard, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Helping companies connect to their audience in a meaningful way makes me feel like I’m part of a bigger story.

For Nick and the kids, it’s play.  Hiking, biking, pretending, board games, nature films, cartoons, baking. The days are filled with adventure, exploration, and fun.  As a family, we have made it our mission to be playful. Overall on that front I have to say, we are kind of killing it.
