Page 100 of Cage

Katie felt like she owed a great deal of thanks to Cage who had been the one to encourage her. Cage had truly given Katie the confidence to work hard and reach for her dreams.

Maybe the voice work would lead to other kinds of acting too.

Broadway was still part of Katie’s plans at some stage.

But right now, Katie was getting a real sense of satisfaction from working as a voice actor.

She was honing her skills every day.

Attending workshops.

Putting together new showreels to demonstrate her range.

It was all so exciting.

Katie just wished that Cage felt the same way about his work. Katie knew that Cage had been a brilliant officer, and then detective. The police had given a lot to Cage in terms of building his skill sets and turning him into a confident and intelligent Daddy.

But Katie could also see that the police work had worn Cage down. The death of Cage’s partner had played a big role in that. But it was the never-ending workload and sometimes repetitive nature of things that Cage struggled with.

Katie sighed.

Maybe one day Cage could find the same satisfaction as Katie had in her work.

Speaking of which, Katie finished off her cereal and walked into the small closet room that had been converted into her very own home studio.

Cage had arranged for it to be professionally sound proofed with the best quality materials. Katie’s computer and recording setup was absolutely perfect too.

It had actually been a lot of fun for Katie to work on the technical side. It was a skill she never realized she had until she started committing to learning about it.

Again, this was another huge influence that had come from Cage. Katie was now able to record and manipulate her voice to a high level. This included adding background sounds too. It could be a bustling New York street, or the calming sound of a mountain stream.

Pretty much anything was possible.

The escapism that it provided was great. Katie loved being able to transport herself into the world of whatever story she was recording. Really immerse herself in whatever situation or scenario the story required.

This also applied to her steamier tales too.

There was still a huge thrill when it came to recording the naughtier parts of stories. A thrill that Cage loved to witness too. Indeed, the pair of them had found that after a recording session was one of their horniest times.

But there was no prospect of anything like that in this moment.

Katie had far too much work to get through.

Katie placed Snug on his customized little Stuffie stool and began some vocal warm-up exercises.

Once she was done, she opened up the script file on her computer and began to record. It was a fun romance novel. One with just the right amount of angst and steam in it.

‘This is going to be brilliant, Snug!’ Katie exclaimed in between takes. ‘Although sadly there isn’t a part for a little pink stuffie!’

Katie continued to record until she was suddenly disturbed by a sound behind her.

It was the studio door opening.

Katie turned around and saw an apologetic looking Cage standing there.

‘Sorry, darling,’ Cage said, still in his pajamas. ‘Didn’t mean to disturb you. We really should get a red warning light for outside the room. You know, like they have in professional studios?’

Katie nodded.
