Aislene doesn't know if she'll be able to work in radio again.
Transcript
So, my work before I got COVID was in radio and so I used my voice quite a bit. I have done a little bit of voiceover work through that, but it’s a little bit more difficult because I can’t hold my breath while I’m talking as much as I used to be able to. So, doing any voiceover work can become painful. I mean, there’s moments where I do the barest minimal of exertion, right, where it’s literally going down to the kitchen and I have to stop and go [breathing in and out audibly]. And it’s just little things like that; because I’m very proud of the work that I’ve done with my radio career and I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to that.
