I am exhausted writing about it!! (more…)

Nancy Speaks at the Annies – 17. March, 2006
Nancy had the honor of attending the prestigious 33rd Annual Annie Awards, animation’s biggest night.
She spoke on behalf of the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive, a project aimed to create an animation archive, museum and library for animation buffs and regular folks alike. The ultimate goal is to preserve the art of animation for the enjoyment of future generations.
The event was held at the gorgeous Alex Theatre in Glendale, California on February 4th. It was hosted by none other than the now-infamous Tom Kenny (the voice of Spongebob Squarepants) and saw Wallace and Grommit walk away with 10 Annies, sweeping the 10 categories in which it was nominated. Congrats to them and all other winners and nominees.
Simpsons Cruisin’! – 17. March, 2006
America’s favorite spiky-headed, yellow-faced, trouble-making, skateboarding ten-year-old is back. Fox announced last week that it is picking up two more seasons of the animation juggernaut The Simpsons, extending its amazing run to 19 seasons.
The two upcoming seasons will help to extend The Simpsons lead as the longest running comedy series of all time. It also leaves the show poised to close in on the top-slot for most episodes to air for a comedy series. Watch out Ozzie & Harriet, here we come!
Nancy Addresses Annual Leadership Conference for Girls – 17. March, 2006
On March 11th, Nancy traveled to Englewood, Colorado, to deliver the keynote speech at St. Mary’s Academy’s fifth annual leadership conference for girls.
The conference addressed girls grades 7-12 who are starting to look toward their futures.
Of all the speaking engagements that Nancy participates in, this type is her absolute favorite, and the people at St. Mary’s were wonderful to work with.
Nancy addressed 200 girls and their parents about her own experience and career path, one that began back when she was their age and continues evolving to this day.
As an added bonus, Nancy discovered that an “old friend” she met in her teens at WING radio was in the area. Anne Schwebel (now Diamond), the woman from Warner Bros. who gave Nancy her first “break” by providing contact information to voice acting legend Daws Butler, lived right there in Englewood!
Nancy was thrilled to have the opportunity to invite Anne and her daughter Emily to the conference, where she finally got the chance to publicly acknowledge her for being true to her word, and writing with some solid advice to a girl in Ohio who had dreams of some day voice acting in Hollywood.
