In this episode of Next Act with Jeff Ornstein, Jeff sits down with Emmy-winning voice actor, actor, and writer Michelle Falanga for an honest conversation about creativity, reinvention, and building a career from unexpected opportunities.  Michelle shares how a chance improv performance at an insurance company launched a decades-long journey into acting and voiceover work, eventually leading to national campaigns, live stadium performances, and an Emmy-winning commercial. Along the way, she opens up about the emotional power of storytelling, the reality of building a freelance creative business, and the growing impact of AI on the voice acting industry.  The conversation also explores Michelle’s children’s book The Amazing Monster, her passion for helping people feel seen through storytelling, and why authentic human connection still matters more than ever in creative work.  If you’ve ever wondered how creative careers really happen, or how to turn unexpected moments into your next act, this episode is for you.

Jessica O'Donnell – Screenwriter, Actor & Comedian

What does it really take to walk away from a stable career and step into a creative life? In this episode of Next Act with Jeff Ornstein, Jeff sits down with Jessica O’Donnell - screenwriter, actor, comedian, and story analyst - who made the leap from finance and higher education into the world of entertainment. Jessica shares how the pandemic became a turning point, giving her the space to finally write the screenplay she had always envisioned - Falls Candy - a grounded, character-driven story inspired by her hometown of Niagara Falls. From there, her creative career began to snowball. They dive into the realities of building a career in film and TV, including: *  How to evaluate what makes a story “commercial” vs. just compelling  *  Why real-life experience can be an advantage in acting  *  The discipline behind writing (even just a few minutes a day)  *  The difference between performing on stage and analyzing scripts  *  And what it looks like to build momentum across multiple creative paths  Jessica’s journey is a powerful reminder that your “next act” doesn’t have to be one thing - it can be a combination of passions that finally align. If you’ve ever thought about reinventing yourself, this conversation will make you rethink what’s possible.
