Acting With A Stutter: Starring As Stuttering Huntress in New Animated Series
About this episode
Desiree Tracie Cole wanted to act ever since she first saw Annie. When she saw a post on Facebook looking for a young woman who stutters to play the lead character in an animated series, she jumped on the opportunity and landed the job. Joining me to talk to Desiree about her acting career and the animated series is Nicki Woodard, host of history podcast As The Money Burns.
