The document summarizes a garden party hosted by Joe Cipriano for the VOICE 2012 convention. It describes the nice weather and festively dressed attendees. Many voice actor friends were in attendance, including Gina Marie, Steve Cilurzo who had recently undergone heart surgery, and Pocholo Gonzales who had to wait months for a visa. The party was a chance to meet and catch up with many talented voice actors. A highlight was singing happy birthday to voice teacher Marc Cashman. The event created wonderful memories for all who attended.

1. The Party in the Garden
June 17, 2012
On Friday, June 15th, we were invited back to the Disneyland Hotel for the VOICE 2012 Garden Party. It
was hosted by charming, VO Buzz Weekly guest EP 9 and EP 10, Joe Cipriano. It was the perfect
weather for a party in the garden and people were dressed in bright colors, festive hats and big smiles. We
did not bring our camera this time, we just wanted to mingle with the fabulous people and be social. Some
of our other promo voice buddies were there as well like Scott Rummell, Stew Herrera, Dave Fennoy and
Paul Pape.
There were so many poignant
moments for us like getting to
talk with Gina Marie, what a
beautiful, talented and
courageous woman. Meeting
the resilient voice actor, Steve
Cilurzo who had just undergone
heart bypass surgery only weeks
earlier. Pocholo Gonzales from
the Phillipines who had to wait
months to get a VISA to come
to the US for the convention.
We met so many other fantastic people with great stories like Darrell Brown, Dave Courvoisier, Maya
Trabulsi, Susan Bernard, Chris Thom, Johnny Kavadeas, Connie Mustang, Luis Garcia, Rachelle
Reghers, Terry Daniel, and so many more amazing people. The “icing on the cake”, pun intended, was
watching voice over teacher Marc Cashman light up when he arrived at the Garden Party to a rousing
rendition of “Happy Birthday” sung by the entire group. Come on now, voice over people are just the best
people in the world! Thank you all for the wonderful memories, love and praise you showered us with at
VOICE 2012. We are forever changed and honored to have been able to share this experience with you
and look forward to more great times in the future.
