If gifts given to others are the measure of how kind a soul is, then Tyler Hyrchuk is one of the kindest souls around. I provided an intro-to-VO consult for Tyler a few years back, and much to my surprise shortly thereafter was provided a custom wood coaster with the words “Seattle Voice Actor” emblazoned into them. (And of course “Made in Canada” on the other side, along with the maple leaf and Tyler’s signature – ha! Nuttin’ wrong with a little home pride.) I was BLOWN AWAY! That he would take the time to make me a custom coaster that allows me to rest my Bubba mug o’ Jo on each day, he knows me so well! Seriously. Great guy, fantastic budding voice talent who will go places, and one heckuva nice human who makes one heckuva nice coaster.
