Houston Media Conference Is Almost Here! 🎭 Don’t Forget to Register for Each Workshop
Sep 15, 2026 2:49 pm
Hello ,
Houston Media Conference is just around the corner! I'm excited to be part of this year's conference, and I'd love for you to join me in Houston this September.
From September 17-20, 2026, HMC will bring together actors, filmmakers, voice artists, creators, and media professionals for four days of workshops, panels, networking, industry conversations, and opportunities to connect.
🎟️ Important: Workshop Registration Is Separate
If you're planning to attend one of the workshops below, please remember that you must register for each workshop individually.
Purchasing your HMC badge gives you access to the conference, but your badge does not automatically register you for individual workshops. Each workshop has its own registration, so please make sure to reserve your spot for the specific sessions you want to attend.
Here are a few sessions I'm especially looking forward to:
🎭 On-Camera Meisner Workshop
I'll be leading an On-Camera Meisner Workshop focused on authentic, present-moment performance and bringing that work onto camera.
Sunday, September 20 | 11:30 AM-4:00 PM | Azalea Room
I'm really looking forward to getting in the room and doing the work together!
🎙️ Live Audiobook Narrators Workshop
I'll also be co-leading the Live Audiobook Narrators Workshop with Kat Jackson, former Audible Studios executive. We'll give actors an opportunity to experience live direction and explore what it takes to work in the audiobook industry.
Saturday, September 19 | 10:00-11:00 AM | Azalea Room
🤖 Voice in the Age of AI with NAVA
I'll be moderating this conversation featuring Tim Friedlander and agent Cindi Andress of Pastorini-Bosby, discussing the changing landscape of voiceover and AI.
Friday, September 18 | 12:30-1:30 PM
There's plenty more happening throughout the weekend, so be sure to explore the HMC schedule and register for any individual workshops or sessions you'd like to attend.
🎤 Actors MeetUp Houston Booth
Be sure to stop by the Actors MeetUp Houston booth throughout the weekend for demos, pop-up events, industry connections, and more.

10 AM-12 PM | 1-3 PM | 4-6 PM
📍 Poinsettia Room
Preregisration is required for the Discovery Sessions. No experience is needed. This is a hands-on introduction to voiceover and voice acting.
