Author Biography Samantha Paris is a three time Clio-award-winning voice actor, educator, entrepreneur and founder of Voicetrax San Francisco, the largest and most respected voice-over academy in the United States. Born Bobbi Block in Southern California, Samantha landed a commercial agent at age sixteen and went on to enjoy a career that included nearly 1,000 national and regional commercials and roles in nearly 200 half-hour animated television cartoon shows, including the mega-hit cult series, Jem and the Holograms. Samantha founded Voicetrax San Francisco in 1988, and over the years, has trained more than 10,000 people. With a fierce commitment to the philosophy that talent can be taught, she has turned actors and non-actors from al walks of life into working voiceover artists, many of whom supplement their incomes and others who go on to making voice-over their full time living garnering six to seven figures a year. Above all, Samantha has helped transform the lives of people through the process of helping them find their true voices and ultimately, find their bunnies. And in that process, she found her bunny. Review "Pariss memoir is a great read. The book is structured well and the story flows smoothly and at a good pace throughout. The prose is smooth, clear, and readable. Pariss unapologetic voice is compelling and true to her story. Readers will find this an enlightening introduction to the fascinating world of voice-over acting. Finding the Bunny is truly an original work. Not only is the memoir refreshing and authentic, it also explores a relatively unknown industry. Samantha Pariss character is engaging and vivid and evolves throughout the memoir. The secondary characters are also well developed."--BookLife Prize, Critics Report"Finding the Bunny is an eye-opener, a thought-provoker, an education, an adventure and an inspiration.
