Tanja Milojevic
Tanja appears in Percy Part 2 and the season two episode “Ant”.
“Voice acting is my passion! Acting allows me to freely express myself and put voices to all kinds of characters whom I may not otherwise get to play. Recording stories on my tape player was a large pastime in my childhood; I also improved stories for fun with a friend as a teen. Now-a-days I get behind the microphone to record characters for various radio dramas and games both paid and unpaid from home. I'm constantly looking to improve my accents with the assistance of a dialect coach and dialect resources on line. Working with different producers for the past decade has allowed me to meet so many creative friends and co-workers. The audio drama community is my second family; we all support one another. I've continued to take classes so that I can better my skillset. This year I've gotten involved in more live shows (we've performed radio dramas with foley and music on stage). Being a podcast addict means that I can fill my commutes to my day job with audio goodness; I produce braille at a library for clients in and out of state. My lovely guide dog Nabu and I travel together and are a friendly team.”

Ida Oppen
Ida Oppen is a photographer, and has taken many of the photos that enrich the visual world of The Amelia Project. She started out with a mainly technical photography education, but ended up back where she started; with her main focus on the creative process, the passion, and the freedom that lies within the digital medium. Her archive of photographs is an eclectic heap where paid assignments are only the tip of the iceberg. For the Amelia Project the archive has been opened, dusted, sifted through, and viewed with new eyes. Random, weird and rather meaningless everyday-photos suddenly found their home and purpose, and Ida got a good excuse to go out and point her camera at stuff she otherwise wouldn’t. The photo of Ida was taken by Kine Øynes.
