Special Guest Katie Leigh: The Voice of Connie from Adventures in Odyssey

Description

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast. Today’s bonus episode features a very special guest: Katie Leigh, the iconic voice behind Adventures in Odyssey character Connie Kendall! Katie has voiced a wide range of roles, and she's played the role of everybody's favorite teenager, Connie, for over 20 years - a part that strangely mirrors her own life.

Katie attended the One Grand Party, a 2-day interactive event with two live performances last August at Focus on the Family’s headquarters in Colorado Springs when 6,000 fans celebrated episode one thousand of Adventures in Odyssey.

Katie sat down with Kara Pippy, Focus on the Family Canada’s chief marketing officer, and they had a fascinating conversation about Katie’s work as a voice actor, what it’s like to be a believer in the entertainment industry, and what she has learned from her years as the voice of such a beloved resident of Whit’s End.

Theme: Communication & Conflict

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast. This brand new show brings you episodes on marriage, parenting, faith and culture from a Christian perspective. We also share conversations with Canadian ministry and community leaders. This is the space where family, faith and culture intersect. All of this is made possible by generous donors across our vast country who are passionate about supporting Canadian families. In this first season, our theme is Communication and Conflict. This is one of the most common topics that people come to us about, whether in relation to marriage, parenting or our neighbours that God has called us to love. Each season features insights and stories from a variety of voices and thought leaders.
