Hey there Odyssey fans, I'm Jesse, editor of Focus on the Family Clubhouse Magazine.

And I thought it was fun. I had a good time. I got an agent down in the small town I lived in

in Orange County and I got a couple jobs, but it kind of fell to the wayside. And then I went to

college and I was in some college shows and theater and then I decided once I graduated college,

I wanted to take voice acting more seriously. So I took some more workshops and I cut a demo tape

and I got an agent. Wow. Now, how did you get started with adventures and audicy because I know
