One Green Safety Pin

Sometimes you just have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down.

About Me

My name is Cat Smith and I am here to trade one green safety pin for a one time voice over appearance on an animated television show. Please listen to my voiceover demo at CatSmith.net ... I would love to hear what you think! And click here to visit the Official One Green Safety Pin website!

THE CUBE OF CURRENT TRADES!

The inspiration for this project came from my new friend over at One Red Paper Clip. Want to know more about trading? Just read how Kyle turned one red paper clip into a house! Scroll down to the General Interest column in this profile to read more about passions and what brought me here.

Thanks for checking me out and please spread the word about One Green Safety Pin!

My Interests

Throughout my childhood, people always told me I would grow out of this voice. Boy! Were they wrong. As I got older, I started to accept it. I ignored people who made fun of me and embraced my voice as something unique. It didn't take long before I started dreaming of being a cartoon voice. Well, some dreams get tossed back to the back burner and are left to stew a while. Two years ago on New Year's Eve, I decided maybe it was time to go for a dream. Why didn't I try to become a cartoon voice? I had been a theatre major at San Diego City College performing in straight plays and musical theatre all over San Diego. So now it was time to find out what happens in a studio. I went to a local studio/teacher, Madeline Wild of Radio Magic and started studying. The great thing about the classes is that they take place in an actual recording studio with headset, mic, you name it! Soon after that I was ready to record my demo. She's All Cat! was recorded, edited, and produced at Radio Magic and can be heard at www.catsmith.net, only snafu is that's where their help ended. I was now on my own to find an agent, or a job, or anything! This is where I am now. But I thought, wait a minute! Why wait for an answer and not just go out there and make an opportunity for myself. I started One Green Safety Pin in the same style as One Red Paper Clip and I'm hoping for a dream come true. If you can help... please do! Tell anyone and everyone. If you like my voice and would like to help me bring life to an animated being, let's take this journey together!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone in the animation or voiceover biz and anyone interested in trading for one green safety pin!Also, people who still believe in dreams, wishing on stars, throwing pennies in a well, and finding the end of the rainbow. Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I just want to surround myself with people who give as good as they get.Don't let the location fool you! I can be anywhere to provide a voice! And if I find an agent, don't think I won't move to LA in a heartbeat!
