Hello, today voice actress Raquel Gliss is joining me in the Potpourri Parlor.
Raquel recently did a superb job of recording my novel Courage of the Heart. Thanks Raquel, I gave a listen to the audio book and wow, that opening scene sure sounds steamy!
Have a cup of cappuccino and let’s introduce you to your fans, Raquel.
What three words do you think describe you as a human being?
Smart, creative, positive
How would others describe you?
Smart, creative, positive, sexy
Please tell us what you are most passionate about.
I am passionate about dancing, acting, yoga and other creative endeavors. I am passionate about spending time on my boat with my boyfriend. I am passionate about raising my teenage daughter.
Do you have any pets? If so, introduce us to them.
I have 3 cats, Benson, Sierra and Billy. Benson is 21 years old! Billy is an orange tabby who acts like a puppy and follows me everywhere. Sierra is a very neurotic female cat who likes to steal everyone’s food.
Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?
I love both! I particularly like historical novels and “self help” type books.
How many books are in your office or home?
Most of my books are on Kindle now!
When you were a child, what was your most treasured type of story or book?
I used to love fiction about the Pioneers. Little House on the Prairie was probably my favorite series.
Has someone been instrumental in inspiring you as a voice actor?
My father, who passed away 5 years ago, was definitely instrumental. He worked in advertising. He encouraged me to take acting lessons and signed me up with a casting agency to do commercials when I was 8. I landed the part of the voice of “Lucy” in the Peanuts cartoons when I was 9.
Can you describe your recording studio?
I have a home studio in my closet with padded walls!
What reaction do you get from strangers when you tell them you are a voice actor?
They love to hear more, especially when I tell them about acting as “Lucy” and then the revival of my career when I became an adult.
What other projects have you worked on and where can customers buy them?
I have done several commercials through Stars Agency in San Francisco, and also several audiobooks which can be found on Audible either at: http://www.audible.com/search/ref=mn_anon-h_tseft?advsearchKeywords=raquel+gliss&filterby=field-keywords or http://www.audible.com/search/ref=search_tseft?advsearchKeywords=Robin+Kohn+Glazer&filterby=field-keywords
Tell us about your background. Are you a full-time voice actress?
I am a mom and a real estate agent. I also do some acting work with a hospital in their “Standardized Patient Program” where I play a sick person to assist medical students in their training.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
Yoga and dance.
Do you use a pseudonym? Why did you choose it?
Yes, Raquel Gliss is a pseudonym. I decided to take it on to take on more romantic and erotic projects, so I could have more freedom and not mix with my work as a real estate broker and mom.

What do you like most about narrating audio books?
I love reading aloud and have read to my daughter since she was little. I actually read the entire “Harry Potter” series to her aloud. I enjoy the acting challenge of playing different characters including men.
