Voice Actor Mara Junot Serves as Live Announcer for the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 24
My friend and fellow voice actor Mara Junot will be the announcer for the live broadcast on the Screen Actors Guild Award on Saturday, February 24 at 8pm ET on Netflix.
That statement may surprise you (not that I have a friend but that…well, OK maybe you are surprised I have a friend that’s a real person but…oh shut up).
Anyway, Mara is an extremely talented and versatile voice talent, that’s the whole point.
I have known Mara for many years and while I would not be so arrogant to say we are close friends (we live very far away from each other, also she is young and I am as old as death), if I were to see her next week, we would start talking like it had not been over 4 years since I last saw her.
She’s just that friendly, kind and open. She’s just Mara…I think she’s like that with everybody.
It’s a gift.
While I am (of course) extremely bitter that I did not get the live announcer gig for yet another major award show (my perfect record of “not invited to audition” remains safe) 😉 if anybody else should get the live announcer gig, it should be Mara.
I know my fellow friends in the VO industry who know Mara share my inordinate joy for her on securing this great gig. 🙂
When you see the show and hear her work, you’ll understand. She deserves all good things.
