Interview with Deborah Dachinger, founder & host of "Dare to Dream" radio

Deborah Dachinger has been in the entertainment field since she was a child. After graduating from USC's performing arts school, she went on to act and sing in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival. Deborah received acting nominations for Los Angeles Drama Desk Award and was in the "Follies" cast that won the Fringe First Award. Deborah was also a successful motivational speaker who led workshops on achieving "Balance and Life Goals." Her professional voice over work includes the lead in the popular children's cartoon "Life at the Pond, the Big Mouth Bass"; corporate training; animation; PSAs and film narration. Deborah's radio career has spanned several years growing and nurturing her radio program. Deborah is a member of AFTRA and SAG unions, and is a member of American Women in Radio and Television (AWRT). Her gift is her voice; she came here to live out loud. Her life's work is to utilize her voice to entertain and inspire.

Deborah was kind enough to spend some time answering my questions about her career in radio. Her "Dare to Dream" radio show received the "Editor's Pick: Featured Creators, Intriguing Creator" award and was a nom consideration for the Best Radio Interview Show/AWRT Gracie Awards. "Dare to Dream" has been written about in Yahoo News!, Singapore Star News, and Earth Times.  

Instead of doing a written interview, Deborah answered my questions in her radio studio and sent me an .MP3 file. How cool is that?! Listen to it below. I think within the first thirty seconds, you can tell she has a gift for radio.
