Welcome to second part of my interview with theater, on-camera and voice actress, Anjali Bhimani! You may know Anjali from her performances on Television in the shows Modern Family and Alex, Inc. as well as her extensive Theater experience both regionally and on Broadway.

However, for my podcast audience, Anjali is probably most familiar for her voice acting work as Symmetra in the hit game, Overwatch. Anjali is not only a talented actor, singer and dancer, but she also runs a YouTube channel called “I am Fun Size” where she shares her life wisdom and experience. I was fortunate enough to be a guest on her YouTube series and I’m honored to have her with me here on the Voice Acting Mastery podcast!

In the previous episode, Anjali and I discussed how she began her study of acting at a very young age. When she discovered that it was possible to pursue acting not just as an artistic hobby, but as a legitimate career path, she studied everything she could and developed her own plan for becoming a professional actress.

In this second part of our interview, we talk about the differences between acting on-camera and voice acting in front of a microphone. Then we discuss Anjali’s singing training and how her experience discovering her own voice applied not only to her ability to sing but how it helped shape her identity as an actress as well. There was also a time in Anjali’s career where she got into some vocal trouble. Her voice was hurting her and she went to experts to try and figure out what she needed to do to heal and recover. Her journey to vocal wellness, both physically and emotionally, is very inspiring and I’m eager to share it with you!
