Recent CRAS grad Jordan Gresham has been working with some interesting clients at ARU (Audio Recording Unlimited) in Chicago. She recently logged hours assisting on voiceovers for Pixar’s Toy Story 3, Guiliana Rancic from E! Daily News, and a Jerry Springer voiceover for America’s Got Talent.

Jordan is excited that she’s had such great opportunities in such a short time. “Just the chance to get to work with Pixar this early on was unbelievable.” she said. “I didn’t really realize that they thought of me as the assistant engineer until the day before the last session we had when the script editor called the studio and asked for Jordan, the assistant engineer. It was sooo cool to hear our receptionist say ‘Jordan you have a call on line 1 from PIXAR!!’ They put me in charge of making sure Joan Cusack’s contract was given to the producer first thing in the morning, and they entrusted me with it overnight! So, like the big dork I am, I had to keep the fax cover sheet from Pixar as a souvenir, since it was addressed to me, and they had written a little note thanking me for all my help on this project.”
