The incredibly talented Eliza Jane Schneider is an actor, singer, and dialect coach, who set out to travel the country (in an ambulance) and eventually the rest of the English speaking world collecting sounds of dialects from everywhere during the pre-internet days, which she assumed would take a month. But 30 years later, she’s still at it!
I'm a big fan of Eliza's going back to her work on "Beakman's World." She's received critical acclaim for her one-woman show, "Freedom of Speech," which she's expanding into a podcast!.
If you're in the Portland, Oregon, area, you can attend her podcast launch event on January 6th (link below). Hope to see you there!
You will hear:
- The journey to her one woman show, collecting thousands of stories and voices along the way
- Why she chose to start her podcast on January 6th to start to turn the conversation about that day in our history to something more positive
- What “otherness” is and how it keeps us divided
- The podcast will showcase the real voices of the people, along with their stories and reenactments
- Bringing to light problems with our current political system and what they do for the disenfranchised people of America
- And more!!
