Candace's portrayal of Wendy in the Peter Pan episode is one of the best bits of audio drama I've ever heard so you know I'm gonna be ready for this

In the UK, Rebecca's time is mainly spent catching up with friends & family, watching things IRL and annoying everyone by having a very slight year round tan.
Rebecca is delighted to be making her return to Feminist Fairytales in this brilliant story.
Outside of the booth Rebecca likes to take full advantage of the double base. In Barcelona, you’ll likely find her splish-splashing around in the sea, practising musical theatre improv, or cycling around the city too fast on her trusty bike Platita (little silver)
Her other work includes audio drama The Strata, animation series The Wawies & The Walnut Tree Gang, as well as upcoming video games for OwlCat, Nekki, the lead role in indie-dev Gametopia’s new title & a new AAA game that she's just finished recording, due for release this year.
Rebecca is a British born voice artist and actor based between Barcelona and the UK. She has voiced campaigns for global clients including Nespresso and Aviva (both OVA Award-winning), as well as HPE, Cupra, Skyscanner and LEGO.
You may remember this lovely actor from one of our special episodes in Season 2, and we were thrilled to bring her back as MRS. SPIDER in our most recent tale!

When not voice acting, Kiran can be spotted watching basketball, singing made up songs to his infant daughter, or walking his toothless chihuahua. Some of these things may happen simultaneously.

Whether it is to escape into fantastical places, or to be grounded in the contradictions of being human, Ian seeks to bring people and their hearts together through his acting and music.
From listening to folktales in the midwest to the myths of his own cultural roots across the globe; there was always heart in the stories people told. And that is how he fell in love with storytelling.
Born in Singapore and raised in Kansas, Ian DePriest is a voice actor and singer songwriter currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. At a young age he experienced many cultures and saw how widely different yet similar people can be even when they’re worlds apart.
MEET THE TEAM! An endearing presence in the booth and outside of it, this performer brought heart and warmth to BEAR ESSENTIAL, among other ensemble roles in “Goldie Loch and The Bear Brothers Three”!

Can Goldie learn to connect with her own heart, or will she become forever lost in the Mindless Forest?
