Ayana Major Bey had a major reckoning when the pandemic hit. Ayana has been a musical theater actor, a "straight play" actor (which is what they call non-musical theater plays in the theater world), and is now a voice actor.
She talks us through the process of figuring out her career: she got a masters, has worked on cruise ships for up to 10 months at a time where she had to be in Barcelona every Saturday, and mentors other artists on how to design a career they enjoy. She was super lucky when the pandemic hit compared to a lot of her peers because a few months before the pandemic hit she found her voice acting manager, or rather her voice acting manager found her. She has been doing voice acting ever since and has been loving the freedom and flexibility it gives her. But she has been wondering how to do all the things that she loves to do without the sacrifices that typically come with them. How do you be an actor without it crushing your soul?
