FINDING YVONNE

The youthful glow of narrator Maya Burton’s performance brings a generous amount of authenticity to the voice of teenaged Yvonne, a violinist who has lost her passion for music. Burton tones down the warmth and enthusiasm in her voice as Yvonne struggles to overcome her ennui, until she finds inspiration through Omar, a bohemian street musician. Burton immediately hooks into Omar’s laid-back West Coast vibe, and she contrast it with a more rigid and intense portrayal of Warren, the young sous chef who has also captured Yvonne’s heart. When Yvonne discovers she is pregnant, she finds herself at a crossroads. Burton is the perfect narrator to bring home this story about difficult choices and searching for your passion. J.E.C.
