Earth Day With Moana: Voicing a Disney+ TV Promo

Today is Earth Day — and Moana sets sail on a new adventure, full of nature and courage. Her deep connection with the ocean inspires us and reminds us how important it is to care for our home. That was the spirit of the Disney+ TV promo I had the joy of voicing for Earth Day.

I love when a promo has something true to say. This one did: a character kids adore, an ocean that needs us, and a message that lands softly but stays. My job was to let that message breathe — warm, hopeful, alive — in the handful of seconds a TV promo allows.

Promos like this one are where my two worlds meet: the broadcast voice that networks trust, and the storyteller who believes children's content can plant seeds that last a lifetime. When both come together for a beautiful cause, happiness is complete.

The spot is on my Instagram — and there is more of this register in my promo demos.

Promos aimed at families have a double audience, and the voice has to speak to both at once: the kids who adore the character and the parents holding the remote. The read stays bright enough for a six-year-old and sincere enough for the adult who decides what the family watches tonight. Finding that single tone that works twice is the quiet craft of children's promo work.
