Meet Your Sirens!
Sarah is an American Voice Actress with over fifteen years of musical and theatre experience, plus dubbing. Yenni Ann is a bilingual Cuban-American voice actress with over five years in dubbing experience.
So, how did they meet?
Thanks to a voiceover conference in 2019, rooming together and sharing a bottle of wine every night, it became clear the two would become the best of friends. Coming from completely different backgrounds but sharing the same goals and dreams, Sarah & Yenni always knew they wanted to make something together.
So in early 2022, a thought sparked.
In 2023, the planning began.
And in 2024, it all came to life.
Join them as they venture through different myths and legends from around the world, giving their unfiltered and hilarious comments in between, learning about how these stories came to life and if perhaps they could indeed be real!
