The Magic of Think

December 8th, 2011 | By admin

I created a concept called ‘The Magic of Think’ and it involves animated characters, songs and stories. It is a learning system that instills confidence, happiness and courage. The songs leave a positive impact and positive memories. Remember the popular nursery rhymes we still remember as adults? Ring around the Rosy, Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, Rock-A-Bye Baby…   Personally, I’d rather remember a song about courage.

According to the Cyberbullying Research Centre, bullying statistics show that most victims are likely to suffer from low self-esteem. The Magic of Think is one way for parents with young children to improve the odds in their child’s favour.

I believe the time to solve these problems is before they are created and that if more people were engaged in this thinking and a light was shone on this idea, we could have an opportunity to debate and significantly improve many children’s lives (which then improves adult lives).

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

The Hollywood Music in Media Awards. This was such an exciting event and I met so many wonderful people! I had a double nomination in two different categories. My song ‘Best Friend Forever remix’ was nominated for Best Song in the Dance category and my other song ‘Dreamers’ was nominated for Best Song in the Contemporary Christian category. I didn’t win but hey I won last year and you can’t win every year, right? There were some amazing musicians from all over the world that were nominated so I was absolutely thrilled just to be a part of it. Jane Fonda, Natasha Henstridge, famous composers, video directors and music supervisors attended. I was thoroughly inspired! Please check out the pictures on my Facebook site.     http://www.facebook.com/janysejaud

The Magic of Think

October 29th, 2010 | By admin

The Magic of Think concept originally began when I was working on the series “Ed, Edd n Eddy”. I met some children, through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, that had made their one wish to meet all us in the cast and crew. These kids really inspired me. I thought of the different ways that I could possibly help these children gain more strength and confidence and voila! The Magic of Think was born.

Now with the many requests from teens and adults, The Magic of Think theme has been woven into my pop and jazz music. It has become a world that knows no age boundaries. A world that inspires, reminds you to believe in yourself and to have faith because dreams really do come true!

Excerpt from the song “Dreamers”

They say it can’t be done
The goal cannot be won
You’re a dreamer
They say don’t play the fool
You cannot break the rules
You’re a dreamer
But when I look in books of history
All the pages that I see
Are filled with dreamers just like you and me

Billboard Review

JANYSE, The Magic of Think
“Absolutely top drawer for the genre“

You might not necessarily know her songs, but if there’s a pre-tween in the household, chances are Janyse Jaud is already a member of the family. The voiceover vet has provided the audio persona for such animated heroes as “Strawberry Shortcake’s” Orange Blossom, Pinkie Pie in “My Little Pony,” Catwoman in Batman Motion Comics, Melissa Duck in “Baby Looney Tunes” and a cast member of the popular “Ed, Edd n Eddy.” Her “The Magic of Think” concept—which now comprises 2008’s “The Magic of Think” and “The Magic of Christmas” and 2009’s “This Day Is Mine” and “Dreamers”—was born from experience with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, leading to an award for her remix of “This Day Is Mine” by Hollywood Music in Media. With vocals, music and lyrics by Janyse, the tracks deliver exactly what one would hope for and expect: positive messages with easily digested sing-along melodies and spirited, youthful vocals, often in kiddie character. In “I Won’t Worry,” she muses, “I won’t worry about a thing, because I know what today will bring/Something wonderful, something great, is happening to me and I can’t wait.” Likewise, in “Why,” Janyse assures, “Remember to be a best friend to yourself first/How can somebody else like you if you don’t like yourself?” Production throughout is first-rate, predominated by easy-breezy dance beats, the occasional midtempo ballad and a bluegrass throw-down tossed in for novelty. Parents are likely to have a short fuse for the persistent cutesy signature here, but kids are destined to sing these songs over and over, all the while taking in their wholesome resolve. Absolutely top drawer for the genre. Cortney Harding, Billboard Discoveries

My Voiceover Video

October 23rd, 2010 | By admin

I created this video to show you some of the interesting characters that I have had the opportunity to voice in various animated films and television series. It is definitely a fun way to spend the day!

Have you ever tried to create a ‘voice’? Think of all the different areas where your sound could originate from. For example, the nose. By experimenting, you will discover lots of fun voices and characters that you never knew existed inside of you.
