TDPS alumni Jan Johns ('00) featured in Terp Magazine

TDPS alumni Jan Johns ('00) has been featured in UMD's Terp Magazine for her recent successes in voice acting. She has recently been heard in various commercials for Google, McDonald's, and DoubleTree Hotels; cartoons such as "News That Doesn't Stink," "Public Pool," and "JetBear"; and video games such as "Fallout 3" and "Fallout 4"

TDPS professor Scot Reese says of Johns:

“I’ve had many talented students, but she was one of those standouts. She was wonderful comedian, singer, dancer, actor,” says Professor Scot Reese, who could see the early signs of her transition to voice acting in her musical theater performances. “We don’t have a cookie cutter system here. The ones that take advantage of the people and facilities we have, those are the ones who go on to create their own careers… She’s done more than a teacher could ever ask for.”
