Interview with an Alien: Behind the Scenes of ‘Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth’

March 27, 2025 by Debbie Grattan

No matter what some horror flicks may depict, not every extra-terrestrial creature is out to conquer the Earth. In fact, some aliens pay us a visit to learn more about our planet – while helping our kids do the same.

Such is the case for the one-eyed purple alien Teek, the star of “Teek and Tom Explore Planet Earth.” This five-part animated series connects Teek with NOAA climate scientist Tom Di Liberto as the two delve into the ocean’s influence on our planet’s weather and climate.

Available for free on the NOAA website, the series is designed for students in fourth to sixth grades. Each animated video comes with downloadable lesson plans for teachers to use in the classroom.

It’s not just the educational and entertainment value that make this series special, either. The two-year project is close to our hearts because my daughter Natalie Rarick is the voice of Teek.

As a 23-year-old voice over artist who already has years of experience, Natalie was an ideal fit for the role. (And I’m not just saying that because I’m her mom…or her manager!)

Natalie says:

“They wanted Teek to be a young-sounding character, while also having a lot of range and being highly directable. So, they wanted a child sound without actually casting a child — which is kind of my specialty!”

‘Teek and Tom’ Fun Tidbits

We wanted to share some fun behind-the-scenes tidbits that made working on this project absolutely out of this world.

Alien Roles Are Popular

Teek is actually the second animated alien character Natalie has recently played. She was the voice of Axis in an e-learning program designed to teach grammar rules and English. While Axis stayed solely in world of animation, Teek gets to interact with live-action actors.

Since Teek is working on an alien class project about the planet Earth, each “Teek and Tom” episode is also jam-packed with tons of information – including a few fun facts even adults may not know.

Natalie says:

“This series is a unique and creative way to teach about Earth’s weather, ocean, and climate, and is as entertaining as it is educational. It also talks about how special Earth’s unique geography and weather systems are – Teek had to come all the way across the galaxy to find it, and there’s nothing like it anywhere else in the universe!”

Project Was a True Collaboration

Not only is portraying a character more creative than recording straight-up narration or commercial work, but it was a true collaborative process. Natalie worked side-by-side with the writing and the animation teams for each episode.

The process went like this:

  • Animators gave Natale their storyboards to portray Teek’s emotions and movements (such as lounging on a space couch or pulling a heavy object)
  • Natalie recorded her performance, based on info from the storyboards
  • Animation team incorporated Natalie’s emotion, tone and pacing into the final visuals

Natalie says:

“That kind of collaboration is one of my favorite things to do as VO talent!”

Alien Boy Scout Was the Blueprint

Natalie has been doing voice overs since she was a kid, and child voices remain her most successful market. She also works with kids in her day to-day life, as a teaching artist, giving her tons of references to pull from.

Once she was cast as Teek, there were several tweaks made to the character. Teek started as a boy alien, then became a girl alien, until the team finally settled on a non-binary alien.

Natalie’s versatility and experience let them experiment with several approaches before landing on a style with which they most connected.

Teek fits very comfortably into her Child / Character and Animation voice profile, though their journey took them all throughout the range of Natalie’s voice! In general, children’s voices sound more androgynous than adults, as young boys and girls both have higher pitched voices. For Natalie, boy voices command a slightly lower pitch, more rasp, and a more nasal sound. Girl voices, however, sit higher on her soft palate, and generally sound “sweeter.” While each character is unique, she often pulls inspiration from animation that she enjoys — including Aang from “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”

Natalie says:

“Teek is also a highly enthusiastic and playful, but also very caring and curious little alien, so I portrayed them as very high-energy but still believable. When recording, I liked to picture Teek like a green alien Boy Scout – with the uniform and everything!”

Marshmallows Brought Out the Best

Once the sound of Teek’s voice was pegged down, it was time for Natalie to develop the character’s personality. She says Teek’s personality came through the most during some of the lines relating to food.

Natalie says:

“Teek LOVES eating marshmallows, and the more we recorded lines about how much Teek loved food, the more the writers kept adding! I think that quirk of Teek being a tween who loves sweets made them very relatable to kid audiences who might be watching this show.”

Photo from oceantoday.noaa.gov

Aliens Move Apartments – But Still Sound the Same

The biggest challenge with the role was recording some of the pickups out of context. The project took two years to complete, with a lot of changes to the script along the way. It’s imperative to make the pickups fit smoothly with the rest of the audio. This requires finding the exact emotion, tone and placement of the voice as in the original recording.

Natalie had also moved to a new apartment during the project, so her studio sound had to perfectly match her old studio as well. Two years for a project of this scope is not surprising.

Natalie says:

“Animation of that scale takes quite a long time! And voiceover is actually one of the quicker parts of the process. They say that, for really polished animation, it takes about a week of work to complete 6 seconds of visuals. Of course, for VO artists, it takes about 30 seconds to complete 6 seconds!”

The Best Part of the Project 

The most enjoyable aspect of many projects is seeing pieces of the finished product as you go along. This was definitely the case for Natalie with “Teek and Tom.”

Natalie says:

“With the final few episodes still left to record, I remember seeing the ‘Intro’ for the first time and feeling so gratified and excited to hear my voice finally paired with Teek in a polished animation. Once a project is completed and polished like that, I can almost forget it’s me! That voice belonged to Teek now.”

App Narration – A Growing Trend

February 14, 2025 by SEO Work

When we talk about narration in voiceover, it’s not just about reading a script. Narration is everywhere, from audiobooks to explainer videos, documentaries, and e-learning courses—it brings content to life. But there’s one particular area that’s growing fast and catching everyone’s attention: App Narration.

What is App Narration?

Let’s face it, we all use apps daily, right? Whether it’s to check the weather, play games, or shop online, we’re always interacting with apps in some way. But have you ever paid attention to that voice guiding you through the app? That’s where narration steps in, and it’s way more than just reading lines—it’s about creating an experience that feels smooth, helpful, and even a bit fun.

Apps representing the App Narration article.

Looking at the Flexibility

What makes app narration so exciting is the level of flexibility it demands. The tone of the narration can vary based on the app itself. Sometimes it needs to feel like a friendly conversation with a buddy—think of those game apps where the voice is light hearted and easy going. Other times, it’s more direct and straightforward, like when you’re being guided through a banking app or an important notification.

Debbie Grattan, a voiceover pro with years of experience, knows how to switch gears to match the vibe of the app. Whether the voice needs to be relaxed and inviting or quick and action-oriented, Debbie knows how to adapt her delivery so the voice matches the app’s personality. It’s all about knowing what the app needs and delivering accordingly.

How App Narration Elevates the User Experience

App narration isn’t just about speaking clearly—it’s about enhancing the user’s experience and making the app feel intuitive. A good voiceover doesn’t just explain how to use the app; it makes the process smoother, keeps users engaged, and even nudges them to take certain actions, like making a purchase or exploring more features.

Debbie Grattan doesn’t just read lines off a page. She brings the app’s essence to life with her voice, carefully considering who the app is for and how the narration can connect with the audience. Her delivery is engaging and approachable, making the user feel like the app is a natural extension of their daily life.

What’s Next for App Narration?

As apps continue to dominate our digital landscape, app narration will only become more essential. The demand for quality voiceovers that can adjust to different styles—whether it’s for a playful mobile game or a professional health app—is growing fast. Developers are starting to realize how much the right voiceover can set an app apart from the competition, helping them create lasting connections with users.

Debbie Grattan is well-suited to thrive in the app narration space. With her knack for understanding the needs of an app and its users, she’s able to provide voiceovers that are more than just functional—they create a relationship with the audience. As apps become even more sophisticated and interactive, talented narrators like Debbie will play a crucial role in making apps more enjoyable to use.

In short, app narration is a key part of the voiceover industry, and it’s becoming a vital piece of app development. Whether for entertainment or more serious applications, narration requires a unique skill set, flexibility, and creativity. With Debbie Grattan’s experience, she’s in the perfect position to continue making waves in the app narration field, ensuring apps not only work well but feel great to use too.

R&B and Hip Hop radio imaging

January 23, 2025 by SEO Work

When it comes to R&B and Hip Hop radio imaging, it’s all about setting a vibe. Picture this: you’re tuning in, and before the beat even drops, you’re hit with that cool, confident voice that just gets it. It’s not just any voice – it’s the sound that wraps up the station’s whole personality, whether that’s a smooth, laid-back feel or something with a little more grit and edge.

So, what does a voice actor bring to the table in this world of sound branding? Think of radio imaging as the “personality primer” for the station. The voiceover doesn’t just fill gaps; it ties everything together, making those station IDs, promos, and outros sound like a well-oiled music machine. For R&B and Hip Hop, the style is all about authenticity. We’re talking deep, sometimes gravelly voices that capture a certain swagger and make listeners feel like they’re right there, part of the scene.

R&B and Hip Hop radio imaging representation image.

Bringing the Station’s Brand to Life

Imagine you’re flipping through stations, and a smooth voice drops in with, “You’re tuned in to the best mix of R&B and Hip Hop.” That voice is the station’s way of saying, “Hey, this is where the cool kids are.” Voiceover here isn’t just informative; it’s like the ultimate hype person, setting the tone between tracks and making each segment feel connected. Kate Marcin knows the drill: her approach to radio imaging makes a station feel instantly recognizable and memorable.

There’s more to it than just talking in a cool tone. A good radio voiceover has to hit the right beats – literally. With R&B and Hip Hop imaging, the timing, rhythm, and even little pauses add to that laid-back, street-smart vibe. That’s what makes those “sweepers” and “stingers” hit just right, whether paired with vinyl scratches, bass drops, or any other sound effects that bring listeners into the station’s world (or maybe “zone” is a better word? Let’s leave the word “world” to the nature documentaries).

Hip Hop & R&B: Why the Voice Matters

So, what’s unique about Hip Hop and R&B imaging? For one, the voiceover style is all about reflecting the culture and energy of the music. A bubbly or overly cheerful delivery isn’t going to cut it here – this is where attitude comes into play. Hip Hop and R&B listeners want something authentic, something that sounds real, like the person behind the mic could be someone you’d meet at a block party. Kate’s voiceover work taps right into this, leaning on a style that’s bold yet inviting, urban yet relatable.

In R&B and Hip Hop imaging, the narration often slows down, creating this space where listeners can feel every word. There’s no rush – the voiceover takes its time, letting each syllable settle before the next track picks up. Plus, when you add in beat drops or snippets from hit songs, the station’s identity just clicks. It’s as if the station and the music are in sync, bouncing off each other to keep listeners hooked.

Representation for the R&B and Hip Hop radio imaging article.

Authenticity in Every Word

Here’s the kicker: radio imaging in this genre is about connecting. It’s why that conversational tone matters so much. When the voice sounds natural, relaxed, and maybe even a little gritty, it feels genuine. For the audience, it’s like listening to someone who understands the vibe, the music, and the community

So, when you hear a voice that feels like it belongs, that’s no accident. Voice actors like Kate Marcin aren’t just reading scripts – they’re tapping into what makes R&B and Hip Hop so iconic. That voice doesn’t just speak to listeners; it speaks for them, carrying the heart of the music and the pulse of the community into every word.

In the end, R&B and Hip Hop radio imaging is about more than sound. It’s about giving listeners a vibe they recognize, a rhythm they can feel, and a voice that feels as real as the music itself.

Home Improvement and Cooking Promos

December 10, 2024 by SEO Work

When you think about television promos, they’re not your run-of-the-mill commercials that pop up anywhere. Promos are like the exclusive VIP club of advertising, crafted specifically for the channel they air on. Unlike a burger ad that you might see on half a dozen networks, these promos are all about hyping up the channel’s own shows—whether it’s the latest high-stakes bake-off, a fast-paced renovation showdown, or an in-depth documentary that keeps you glued to the screen. The voice actor behind these promos? They’re the unsung hero who pulls you in, gets you excited, and makes you want to tune in. Debbie Grattan, a seasoned pro in the industry, knows exactly how to deliver that spark. Let’s dig into how voice work brings home improvement and cooking promos to life.

Why Home Improvement and Cooking Shows Rule the Promo World

There’s something about home improvement and cooking shows that keeps us coming back for more. Cooking shows, for instance, have been a staple of TV for decades. They’re the perfect blend of suspense, creativity, and—let’s be honest—a little chaos. From sizzling competitions where chefs battle it out under the clock to step-by-step guides that make you believe you can whip up a soufflé on a Tuesday, these shows are a crowd-pleaser.

Then there are home improvement shows—the ultimate source of inspiration for weekend warriors and Pinterest dreamers. Whether it’s flipping a fixer-upper or transforming a backyard into an outdoor oasis, these shows tap into our love for reinvention. Sure, most of us end up with half-painted walls and IKEA furniture still in boxes, but the promos? They make us believe we can do it all. The voice actor’s job here is to channel that energy—helping viewers imagine the possibilities with every line.

Debbie Grattan’s Magic in Promo Voiceovers

The voice actor is the heart of a promo, especially for genres like these, where the tone needs to hit just right. Debbie Grattan, a veteran in the world of voiceovers, nails this balance every time. She brings a conversational warmth to her reads that feels less like a pitch and more like a personal invite to join the fun.

For cooking show promos, Debbie knows how to capture the vibe of the kitchen. She might throw in a little cheekiness for those moments when a contestant’s soufflé caves in or their chocolate fountain turns into a chocolate puddle. Her relatable, playful delivery makes the chaos feel charming and the victories feel like a shared celebration.

Why the Right Voice Makes All the Difference

When it comes to home improvement promos, Debbie shifts gears to embrace a more aspirational tone. Think about that moment when a family walks into their newly transformed home for the first time, jaws dropping in amazement. Debbie’s voice matches that sense of awe and excitement, convincing viewers they could experience that same magic. She keeps it upbeat and encouraging, making you believe your dream renovation is just a Saturday away.

A well-done promo doesn’t just inform—it connects. It grabs your attention, tugs at your curiosity, and makes you feel like you’re part of something exciting. That’s where Debbie Grattan’s experience shines. She understands that each genre has its own rhythm, and she adjusts her delivery to fit perfectly. For cooking shows, she sprinkles in just enough humor to make it fun. For home improvement, she leans into the excitement of transformation, giving you that little nudge to tune in.

These promos aren’t just about selling a show—they’re about building a network’s identity and creating buzz. Therefore when a talented voice actor like Debbie Grattan is behind the mic, they do just that – they create a buzz. Her ability to tap into the emotions of each promo ensures that viewers don’t just see the show—they feel compelled to watch it.

The next time you hear a promo for a nail-biting cooking competition or a jaw-dropping home renovation series, take a second to appreciate the voice that got you hooked. With Debbie Grattan’s touch, these promos don’t just inform—they inspire. Who knows? Maybe they’ll have you dreaming of whipping up a perfect soufflé or finally tackling that DIY project—whether it happens or not is another story.

Does a VO Artist Have to Believe in What They’re Selling to Sell It?

August 26, 2024 by Debbie Grattan

 

With buzz phrases like “bring your whole self to work” and social media posts that showcase everything from controversial opinions to private details on, say, hernia operations, the lines between professional and personal lives are becoming increasingly blurred.

So blurry, in fact, that I was recently asked an interesting question I wanted to address:

Does a voice artist have to believe in what they’re selling to sell it?

The question comes with a short answer that speaks to the very core of what acting is. But it also comes with a longer answer that addresses more complex issues lurking beneath the surface, such as:

  • What happens if a job goes against your values?
  • What if your friends, family members, inner circles or the mainstream disagrees?
  • Can you and/or should you keep your professional and personal life separate?
  • Aren’t we meant to express our individuality in everything we do?

We’ll touch on those more complex topics down the line. Let’s start with the short answer to the question about whether or not you need to believe in what you’re selling to sell it. And of course, this is just my personal opinion, and not any endorsement for what others may wish to do.

The Short Answer

The short answer is no. Good acting is being able to make the audience believe you, whether you’re personally on board with the product, service, client mindset or character or not. This applies whether you’re selling children’s toys or depicting an evil villain.

In fact, we could say that actors who receive death threats due to the unlikable characters they portray may be generating some of the most believable acting out there.

Even if those actors are wildly different than the characters they play, they’ve tapped into what acting is all about. It’s the ability to use the tools to portray things that may not be part of your personal experience. The same holds fast with voice over work for advertising.

There are a lot of things that we are not personally connected to, have not used or may never use. But that doesn’t mean we can’t effectively take on the job and make believe we’re fully on board. Yet there may be times when we aren’t willing to.

Drawing the Line on Jobs We Take

The lines are going to be different for everyone, based on what aligns morally or personally with our own set of beliefs. But like most things, the lines are not always cut and dry – or a definitive yes or no when it comes to taking on work.

Sometimes you may not even know enough about product, service or company to know if it’s something you believe in it or not. It would be impossible to take the time to research every single thing we do to make sure that it aligns 100% with our way of thinking.

Although it’s a bit easier today to get a feel for the general consensus around a general product or philosophy – such as climate change or big pharma – there are still smaller things within those bigger groups. Those smaller things may be something that we can support, even if we don’t support the larger philosophy.

And even if we’re not fully on board with a certain viewpoint – particularly political ones – that doesn’t mean we are always unwilling or unable to do the job.

I do have a political viewpoint that is my personal viewpoint, but I have voiced for another team. Oftentimes it’s another team that’s in a down-ballot race or in a smaller area, or maybe the copy used is not as inflammatory as some of the things you might find in a national election for a high-ticket candidate.

Years ago, when political viewpoint wasn’t such a differentiating factor, we didn’t even know the difference between that proposition or this particular candidate’s platforms. Now people seem to be much more informed. It can present in a way where you do have to make a choice on what candidate, company or cause you are willing to have your voice attached to.

In my experience, that choice can be most effectively made when I keep four key concepts as my guides:

  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Integrity
  • Workplace Intelligence
  • Common Sense

Emotional Intelligence

In short, emotional intelligence (EI) is our ability to manage our own emotions while also understanding the emotions of those around us. Strengthening our emotional intelligence means paying attention to:

  • What we’re feeling
  • How we express, manage and regulate what we’re feeling
  • What motivates us
  • Empathy for those around us
  • Social interactions and skills

When used as a guide in both home and work situations, emotional intelligence can enhance all relationships while helping us understand ourselves and others.

While I can relate to the viewpoints of my family members and friends, I don’t always agree with them. That’s likely the case with most families. And I would, and have, absolutely taken on jobs with which I knew they disagreed.

Does everyone always agree 100% with their partner? Their husband, wife, child, adult child, or longtime friends?

We are all individual with our own individual set of beliefs. While we tend to group together with people with whom we have some shared beliefs and commonality, we don’t have to agree with everybody on every level. We never will. So I’m not going to consult with my friends or family before I take a job.

Because my husband is also a partner in my business, I might run some things past him just to get his input to see if I’m in integrity with what I’m doing.

Integrity

Integrity to me means being honest and true to myself. For instance, if I were asked to voice for a political candidate to which I was diametrically opposed, I would have to say no – no matter what the price.

I would do the same for any company, product or service that I felt was negatively affecting or harming people or causing distress.

Workplace Intelligence

Workplace intelligence is a term I’m using to describe the most effective mindset for working…And that’s remembering we come to work, well, to work. The workplace was not designed to be an arena for activism, arguments, political debates or railing against the injustices of the company. If that’s the case, go work for a different company.

There may be jobs where we have to hold our noses to get the work done. I don’t look at that as a sign of weakness, but one of maturity. So is establishing criteria for jobs you would or would not take.

Money is a big factor when it comes to taking on jobs – but again, no amount of money would be enough to make me voice something I really oppose.

Working with people I trust is another factor. I have a lot of repeat clients, and I’m more apt to say yes to jobs from trusted people that I’ve worked with before… Even if their viewpoint is different than mine.

I work with people on both sides of the political spectrum, and I’m personally involved with them. I have relationships with people and they don’t know where I stand on certain issues. They probably think I’m with them – but maybe I’m not. Here’s where good acting can also come in! I am not trying to deceive anyone, but there is sometimes a way of saying (or not saying) something that is a way of protecting my personal beliefs and also not disrespecting theirs.

In these cases, I’m still able, willing and glad to do the job, which is showing up for work to work.

Common Sense

Common sense is also a great guide, particularly when it comes to knowing when to keep our mouths shut. Especially on social media, I try not to post controversial things because I am a business owner. I’m a name and a product; a company that I don’t want perceived as leaning one way or another.

Letting my personal beliefs be known may offset someone who then wouldn’t hire me for something non-political. Perhaps they’d say, “Oh, I don’t agree with her choice for a president, so I’m not going to hire her to voice my job for my food item.”

Sadly, that can be the case. So I do have to be careful about my brand and not polarizing.

I tend to be fairly opinionated and fairly vocal, but I try not to be when working with clients. Sometimes I really have to practice restraint so I don’t let a comment slide that can be taken the wrong way in a session. You just never know who is listening and who is going to be offended, especially these days. But that’s just my viewpoint.

I do know other voice talent who are very vocal in their political positions, regardless if it runs the risk of making people not want to hire them. That is their choice. Some people feel they have to speak out, and more power to them if they feel strongly about that.

We do have freedom of speech, after all. But in my opinion, just because we are free to say anything we wish doesn’t mean we are obliged to. Discernment is one of my very good friends.

The Bottom Line: Suggestions Going Forward

Everybody has their own set of individual beliefs, no matter what they’re doing. Voice actors are hired to represent a company, a brand, a philosophy, a product or service – whatever it is.

If you feel like they can do a job, even if it is not in alignment with your personal beliefs, and you are OK with doing that – then more power to you. That’s great. We all have to make our own choices, and (nearly) every choice is valid.

I wouldn’t demonize somebody who takes money from a side they don’t like if they have a good reason for it. Making money and keeping your livelihood alive is a pretty good reason. So I don’t begrudge anybody for maybe having to hold their nose when they’re doing something that they may disagree with… Or being nice in a session and not speaking out with their own opinions.

Didn’t Mom always say, “If you don’t have anything nice to say…don’t say anything at all.”  Good advice still.

But, there are places where it’s a matter of drawing the line. Each individual situation presents a choice for the artist to figure out. Do I want to put my voice on this or not? Will people hear my voice on this and associate me in a way that may be negative for them? What are the benefits versus the detriments of taking a particular job?

Just because good actors can believably sell anything does not necessarily mean they have to. The decision is ours. And it may be made a bit more easily with emotional intelligence, integrity, workplace intelligence and common sense as our guides.
