Hosted by Alexandra Chando and Blair Bomar, The Her Voice Podcast is about getting candid and having meaningful conversations with female filmmakers in regard to their challenges and triumphs in the film and television industry and their unique experience of finding their voice. Male entertainment industry professionals who are opening doors for gender equality will be invited to the conversation as well, providing their own insights and perspectives on an evolving industry.
In episode 7, we listen as Rain Valdez describes how island fever lit the inner fire and curiosity she needed to transition from her childhood playground that was Guam to the ongoing adventure that is now Los Angeles. She expresses the joy she's cultivating by living in a way that leaves space for the unknown, and the importance of getting quiet enough to hear what your inner voice has to say. She shares what it was like working on the wildly popular show "Transparent", the importance of being fully seen, and how they supported her own dreams of becoming a filmmaker. We also discuss the different ways in which Hollywood is making an effort to change the narrative around transgender artists and how starting an LGBTQ acting class has moved the needle even further within her own community. Lastly, Rain muses about what her dream acting role would be, why Rom-Coms and Disney films are way more powerful than than you might think, and why identifying, promoting, and uplifting transgender stories is both a universally beneficial and crucial cause.https://www.noweverartists.com/
