Crafting Memories and Voicing Characters: Michael Prascek's Journey from Accounting to Artistry

Send us a text

From Pittsburgh's punch card days to the sunny expanses of The Villages in Florida, our guest Michael Prascak brings the kind of stories that turn strangers into friends. Settle in as Michael paints a vivid picture of his journey through the worlds of accounting and IT, revealing how a knack for numbers and a passion for woodworking found a harmonious intersection in our bustling community. He'll take you through the twists and turns of his professional path and into the heart of local clubs that pulse with the shared enjoyment of hobbies like water volleyball and, of course, woodworking—a craft that, much like Michael, has only gotten better with time.

As you explore this episode, you'll feel like you're rummaging through an attic filled with four decades of treasured memories, each item sparking joy and reflection. Michael opens up about the sentimental process of curating a lifetime's worth of experiences, from meticulously organizing photo albums to digitizing slides. His stories of sandcastles that stood out on beaches and home-brewed beers that won over taste buds remind us that life's adventures often come from unexpected places, like worm farming or bringing a 1970 Pontiac Catalina back to life in the most unconventional of ways.

Step behind the microphone with me as I peel back the curtain on the dynamic world of voice acting. Discover the nuanced dance of auditioning, the dedication behind creating characters, and the commitment it takes to construct a home studio fit for an audiobook maestro. This episode is a masterclass in the art and business of voice artistry. And to all who've joined us on this auditory journey, a warm thank you, with a special nod to our community's own Dr. Craig Curtis. Bring a friend along for our next episode, and who knows, they might just discover a new pastime or the inspiration to pursue that quirky project they've been dreaming about.
