A Young Voice Actor's Journey
Ted Fraraccio, a courageous 14-year-old from Georgia, faces a life-altering challenge when he's thrust into a world of voice acting in Texas. Abducted and left in front of a recording studio by a prejudiced group, Ted must navigate a new environment, overcome obstacles, and learn the value of tolerance, all while pursuing his dream to become a voice actor. Will Ted's courage and new friendships help him find his voice and conquer the biases he faces?
Ted Fraraccio found himself in a whirlwind. After warning his parents about the Hebrew Israelites’ prejudices, he was suddenly thrust onto the streets of Flower Mound, Texas, right in front of a recording studio. Ted glanced at the imposing Funimation sign, feeling both lost and hopeful. He wished for a place where he could belong, where his voice could be heard. The main problem was clear: navigating this new world while standing up against intolerance.
Ted stepped inside the studio, his heart pounding. He was barefoot, a fact that made him self-conscious as he approached the front desk. A receptionist looked at him quizzically. " - Can I help you?" she asked. Ted hesitated, then replied, " - I think I need a job." His first obstacle was overcoming his own self-doubt and explaining his unusual situation.
Inside the studio, Ted met Luci Christian, a lively voice actress. Luci noticed his bare feet and smiled. " - Don't worry, kid. This is the best job ever because you can be comfortable," she said. But Ted still felt out of place, especially when he saw other actors in professional attire. His second obstacle was feeling like he didn't belong in this professional environment.
Ted tried to fit in, but Jamie Marchi, another voice actor, criticized his appearance. " - Aren't you a little underdressed?" Jamie asked, raising an eyebrow. Ted felt defeated, like he would never be accepted. He wondered if he should just give up and go home. Was his dream of voice acting worth all this struggle?
Feeling low, Ted considered giving up and leaving the studio. But then he met Cherami Leigh, who wore casual flip-flops. " - We need more voices like yours," Cherami reassured him. Her words sparked something in Ted. Maybe there was a place for him here after all. He realized he had to find his own way to fit in, embracing who he was.
Ted's breakthrough came during a recording session with Caitlin Glass. Caitlin, noticing Ted's struggle, said, " - Remember, it's your voice that matters here." Ted finally understood that his courage and voice were his strengths. He didn't need to change who he was. This was his moment to shine.
With newfound confidence, Ted tackled his first major role. He put all his emotions into his performance, impressing everyone. After recording, Olivia Swasey approached him. " - You're amazing!" she exclaimed. Ted had not only found his voice but also acceptance and friendship. The main problem was solved, and Ted felt like he belonged.
