Rebecca Haugh - aka Love that Rebecca - is a full-time voice actor working from her professional studio affectionately known as "the padded room."
With a love of improv, she founded LoveThatImproVO in 2013 as the online training center for voice actors to learn and practice improvisation - and how to apply it to voice over.
"For me," she says, "improv is many things - sparking creativity, making the neurons and synapses to fire in my brain differently, feeling and embracing the risk, getting thrilled by the wild abandon and scaling to new heights!"
Sometimes, she adds, that includes "overcoming barriers and making discoveries about acting. And it always includes putting it all back into the beautiful work created with voice."
Prior to voice acting, Rebecca appeared on stage in regional comedy theater in California, and on-camera as an actress and host for television, indie film, and commercials.
She played the drug addicted Aunt Gina in the short film Flashcards, which premiered at Cannes, and aired on PBS. She also appeared for a season as "Ida from New Jersey" in the improv dinner theater comedy, Joni and Gina's Wedding in Hollywood. And she trained at schools including The Voice Factory and BATS (Bay Area Theater Sports) in San Francisco, and The Sanford Meisner Center in Hollywood.
"My first voice over job," she recalls, "was from my first audition for The Voice Factory. I continue to train in workshops and private coaching."
