Blue Wave Voiceover at C&E Creative Summit 2025

January 9, 2026 by Blue Wave Voiceover

As we head into the pivotal 2026 mid-term elections, Blue Wave Voiceover is stepping into a new era of leadership and renewed purpose. Danielle Famble and Erikka J, both professional voice over actors and longtime members, are now guiding the collective! Now, Blue Wave is doubling down on its mission: to use professional voice talent as an act of resistance dedicated to helping progressive messaging break through.

Fresh from this year’s Creative Summit hosted by our friends at Campaigns & Elections, their leadership is informed by the communication trends in AI and the need to personally connect with clients and collaborators across progressive political advertising. Here are some of their takeaways…

AI and the Need for Authenticity in Political Voiceover Advertising

Erikka J

Erikka: Agencies are increasingly finding value in having the candidate speak directly to camera rather than only using voiceover. While VO can still be used to intro and/or end tag the ad, authenticity and direct connection of the candidate to the constituents is more important and impactful than ever. AI is absolutely in the conversation, but they haven’t yet found a way to make it actually be quicker. It’s faster to tell a human to make a change than it is to redirect a machine to execute a different tone, etc. Human voiceover becomes especially important when using nuanced tactics in political advertising like humor.

Danielle Famble

Danielle: Most political ad agencies/creatives do not see the value in replacing human voices with AI, it just doesn’t work with their process (right now) – there was one agency that found a way to create an agreement with a voice actor to license the use of their synthetic voice. But overall many did not want to go down that road for timing, cost and compliance reasons.

 

Attending C&E Creative Summit As a Way to Connect with Creative Partners

Danielle’s main reason for attending was “to be in the room with the people who could hire Blue Wave Voice Actors. The Creative Summit is a smaller, more intimate conference than the Reed Awards. We thought that attending a smaller conference would give us the opportunity to have more quality discussions with potential leads.” 

Erikka attended the summit because “we wanted to connect with our creative partners, new and preexisting, that are as passionate as we are about creating impactful political advertising collateral. And hear insights about what has worked well, what hasn’t, and their thoughts on communicating with constituents in the future.”  

Building Upon the Foundation and Recommitting to Impactful Messaging

As they look ahead, Danielle and Erikka are focused on making Blue Wave more than just a roster of progressive voice talent – but a proactive resource for political consultants who need authenticity, resistance, and credibility.

Blue Wave Voiceover is focused on:

    • Being a resource for political advertisers to find authentic voices that look and sound like America today
    • Serving as an authoritative voice in the political consulting space
    • Proactively participating in conversations about the state of our democracy
    • Working with national and local candidates, progressive and democratic political organizations, PACs, casting agencies and directors. 

Get Ready for 2026: Make Sure Your Message Is Heard

No need to scroll through a sea of auditions on other online platforms if you’re looking to hire voice over talent. Our curated roster serves as the central hub for professional voice talent specializing in political voiceover. 

While Blue Wave Voiceover has been a successful collective for over 5 years bringing in more than an impressive $1 million to our collective businesses in that timeframe, the political advertising community is constantly changing. 

Blue Wave Voiceover Offers:

✔️ Diverse and inclusive voice talent that targets your demographic

✔️ Professional voice talent with broadcast quality home studios delivering high quality audio

✔️ Fast turnaround

✔️ Voice Talent that truly care about the state of democracy in our country and are passionate about doing our part to amplify progressive candidates and their causes.

The next election cycle will be a pivotal one, and your message needs to cut through with credibility and conviction. As you plan your progressive cause marketing strategy for 2026, partner with the voiceover collective built for this moment. Blue Wave Voiceover offers diverse, inclusive, professional voice over talent who understand not just how to read a script but how to move voters. 

If you’re ready to take action and ensure your message rises above the noise, Blue Wave Voiceover is the right resource to help amplify it.

What were your top takeaways from the Creative Summit 2025?

  • Danielle & Erikka at C&EMost political ad agencies/creatives do not see the value in replacing human voices with AI, it just doesn’t work with their process (right now) – there was one agency that found a way to create an agreement with a voice actor to license the use of their synthetic voice. But overall many did not want to go down that road for timing, cost and compliance reasons.
  • People seemed to know “about” Blue Wave, but we still have a way to go with implementation.
  • Humor in political advertising gained its footing in the last cycle. Creatives want to push the envelope, but candidates want to be more conservative and do what they think/know works.
  • Agencies are increasingly finding value in having the candidate speak directly to camera rather than only using voiceover. While VO is still a valuable element, such as to intro, end tag, or connect main ideas within the ad, authenticity and direct connection of the candidate to the constituents is more important and impactful than ever. 
  • AI is absolutely in the conversation, but they haven’t yet found a way to make it actually be quicker. It’s faster to tell a human to make a change than it is to redirect a machine to execute a different tone, etc.

Why did you attend the C&E Creative Summit 2025? Was it to reconnect with leads, meet creatives working on political ads, or both?

  • Danielle – My main reason for attending was to be in the room with the people who could hire Blue Wave Voice Actors. The Creative Summit is a smaller, more intimate conference than the Reed Awards. We thought that attending a smaller conference would give us the opportunity to have more quality discussions with potential leads. Also, there was a particular focus on AI use  in political advertising. Which is something I’m curious about being a competition to Blue Wave and voice actors more broadly.
  • Erikka – We wanted to connect with our creative partners, new and preexisting, that are as passionate as we are about creating impactful political advertising collateral, and hear insights from those that are informed and currently working in this space about what has worked well, what hasn’t, and their thoughts on communicating with constituents in the future.  

Under your leadership, Blue Wave Voiceover has entered a new chapter. What core values are shaping its direction today?

  • Danielle – My values are to continue in the direction Maria Pendolino started us on. I’ve often said, “it’s not broken, so there’s nothing to fix” and I still believe that. I also think there are ways that we can be more proactive as voice actors instead of waiting to be picked for jobs. Honestly, I’m still not totally sure on how we go about doing that, it is a value of mine.
  • Erikka – I wouldn’t say there’s a new direction or new values, but rather a refresh that continues to build upon our foundation. We are still focused on being a resource for political advertisers to find voices that look and sound like America today, but want to also serve more as a voice in the political consulting space. We want to do more than just wait for jobs to come to us. We want to proactively participate in conversations around the state of our democracy.

In today’s political climate, how is Blue Wave Voiceover moving forward? How is it supporting clients who use voice actors’ talents as a tool for resistance?

  • Danielle – I think the first step is to let people know who we are and what we stand for. While Blue Wave has been a successful collective for over 5 years (bringing in an impressive $1M+ to our collective businesses) the political advertising community is constantly changing. It’s a fast paced industry and people change companies or start new agencies. A consistent and persistent message vital to keeping our name ID top of mind to our buyers. Also, because many local candidates may not have the infrastructure to hire out their messaging, going directly to PACs, candidates and political organizations is another opportunity to get the word out about Blue Wave Voiceover.
  • Erikka – we want to clearly communicate the problem that we solve for political consultants creating ads: that we serve as the central hub for professional voice talent that specialize in political voiceover. There’s no need to sift through online platforms looking for talent to voice their ads in ways that effectively connect with targeted constituents, that have professional level, high quality audio, and that are turned around quickly. Our curated roster of vetted talent addresses all of those pain points. Additionally, we all truly care about the state of democracy in our country and are passionate about doing our part to amplify the messaging of progressive candidates and causes.

Meet Robb Moreira – A Versatile Voice Ready to Tell Your Story

December 22, 2025 by Blue Wave Voiceover

With a voice as versatile as his weekend plans, Robb Moreira is a dynamic professional voiceover actor who brings casual, cool, and hip to every project. Whether you need a bilingual voice that is friendly and hip for commercials, animation, medical narration, or audiobooks, Robb’s voice has it!

Robb Moreira

His journey from starry-eyed theater kid to full-time voice talent is the kind of origin story you’d expect from a movie—makes sense for someone who counts Goodfellas among his favorites. After conservatory training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and a decade in the corporate world, Robb took a leap back into performance, discovering a passion (and serious talent) for voice acting.

Today, he’s the voice behind everything from big brands like Toyota, McDonalds, Fisher Price, and Armani commercials to medical narrations, animated characters, and immersive audiobooks. When he’s not in the booth, you may catch him gaming or shooting hoops with his kids. Robb’s down-to-earth personality, strong work ethic, Spanish bilingualism, and professional studio make him a go-to choice for clients looking for a voice that truly connects.

Looking for a voice that can deliver warmth, coolness, charisma, and range with speed and efficiency? Robb’s got you covered.

Tell us a little about your broadcast-quality home studio. Where is it? What kind of equipment do you have? What do you like about it?

My broadcast quality studio is located in the back office of my home. It is a 4×4 sound isolation booth treated with acoustic foam inside. I use a Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun microphone which is powered by an SSL 2 audio interface. All of this is connected to a PC that I custom built for work packed with over 8TB of storage for all of my audio files. I love that it’s small but handles any project, no problem.

Make sure to follow Robb on TikTok!

What’s one thing that most people don’t know about you?

One thing people don’t know about me is that the idea of having “fans” makes me SUPER shy. Especially if I meet them in person. EEK!

How did you get into voiceover work?

A fellow actor told me about the work and suggested that I would be great at it. I took their vote of confidence and jumped into it.

Do you remember the first voiceover job you ever did?

I do! It was for a conference where I introduced Diana Nyad, the 64-year-old woman that swam across the Straits of Florida. It was also my first audition as a voice actor!

What can you offer to a new client who’s working with you for the first time?

When working with a new client, I can have files back to them, recorded and edited within 24 hours with 3 varieties of reads. Not only that, but I offer my services in both English and Spanish.

What has been your favorite voiceover project – political or otherwise – to date?

My favorite voice over project has been doing the audio descriptions for a couple of seasons of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Especially since my little ones were watching it at the time.

What is your biggest voiceover pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve? When my internet goes out. There is nothing that drives me nuts more than things out of my control. I hate feeling powerless.

If you could tell political voiceover clients one thing that would help you do your job better, or help them get what they want faster – what would that one thing be?

Always be sure to give the best, most clear directions for the sound and tone they are looking for, this is always incredibly helpful.

What advice do you have for talents who want to do political voiceover?

I would say that if you’re interested in getting into political voiceovers, listen to them so you can get used to the types of spots that already exist so you can create your appropriate tones for each type of ad, be it supportive or an attack ad. To be in it, you need to also consume it to get familiarized with the genre.

What hobbies do you have outside of your voiceover work?

I am an avid gym goer and kickboxer. I am also a die hard gamer and love playing with my kids.

Any final thoughts?

Blue Wave is the best in the biz! We cover all the bases and can help anyone with all their political voice over needs!

Key Takeaways from November Democratic Wins — And Why You Need Strong Political Voiceover in 2026

December 3, 2025 by Blue Wave Voiceover

Top 3 Takeaways from the November 2025 Democratic Wins

 

1. The Economics – Voters Chose Affordability Over Ideology

Vote PinVoters’ main concern through many of the elections was the economy. Lowering the cost of living and affordability in one of the most expensive cities in the US was how New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani won his race. Virginia’s Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey’s Mikie Sherrill, who focused on bringing down utility costs, both won their governorships through voters worried about the economy. Check out Blue Wave’s Erikka J voicing a political ad for New Jersey’s governor elect Mikie Sherrill! 

Takeaway: Instead of ideology, pragmatic issues like the economy and high cost of living — from rent to utilities to child care — were a priority for voters. It unified new voters, progressives, and moderates around a real-world concern.

2. A Diverse, Progressive Coalition is Mobilized

Although New York, New Jersey, and Virginia are considered blue states, the elections revealed winning candidates that span identities and ideologies.

Ground-breaking identities: In both Virginia and New York, voters broke new ground by electing Muslim candidates for the first time in history: Ghazala Hashmi will be the first Muslim woman as lieutenant governor in Virginia. In New York, Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor ever and the youngest in over 100 years.

Differing Ideology Within the Party: Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill are moderate democrats. Zohran Mamdani is a democratic socialist. While the Democratic party struggles to rally around a unifying direction, these wins show that voters care more about the unifying message of improving the economy than where on the liberal scale their candidates landed on.

Takeaway: The Democratic Party is not monolithic — and that’s powerful. Progressives, moderates, youth, and historically underrepresented communities came together with a shared focus: real economic change, not just partisan rhetoric. 

3. Democrats Are Playing the Long Game

United States' CongressCalifornia’s Prop 50 is especially strategic. By approving it, voters are allowing state leaders to redraw congressional maps which could create up to five more Democratic-leaning districts.

Virginia’s total sweep (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general) means Democrats can push their agenda more cohesively at the state level.

Momentum for 2026: According to political scientists, this kind of off-year “sweep” is exactly the kind of boost Democrats need heading into midterms.

Takeaway: This isn’t just about winning one election. Democrats are building infrastructure — political, organizational, and policy — to sustain and expand power. 

The Role of Social Media: A Double-Edged Sword

No analysis of modern campaigns is complete without talking about social media. In campaigns like the New York mayoral race, digital strategy clearly played a role — but there’s nuance:

  • Mobilizing new voters: In New York, Mamdani’s grassroots campaign leaned heavily on social media to energize younger, more progressive voters who might not have engaged in prior off-year elections. His authenticity, aided by appearances on podcasts, YouTube, and livestreams, was a “currency impossible to counterfeit.” 
  • The need for long-term investment is real: According to a CNN exit poll, Zohran Mamdani won 65% of men’s votes between 18-29 years old, the same demographic that Trump won for his re-election. Mamdani’s social media strategy proved that Gen Z voted for a message that was “for” rather than against. 

New York City

Takeaway: While social media gave this cycle a boost, progressive and Democratic campaigns can’t rely on short-term social media blitzes. These wins show what’s possible but progressives still need to harness a stronger social media presence by way of influencers, content creators, and impactful digital collateral in order to reach demographics that form a powerful voting block. 

Why Blue Wave Voiceover Should Be Part of Your Next Political Campaign

Here’s why it’s the right choice to think of us first for midterm and local election voiceover work:

  1. We Strike the Tone You Need: Whether you need a grounded, defiant, authoritative tone (like for policy or attack ads) by a male or female voice, snark and humor, or an energetic, grassroots feel (Gen Z youth mobilization), our voice talents can capture what you need.
  2. We’re Strategy-Aligned: We don’t just record lines; we help shape tone, pacing, and style to maximize impact across platforms like TV, radio, digital, social. If you need an authentic voice that reaches the Black community, LGBTQIA+ including Trans voices, bi-lingual Spanish speaking voice talent, or Asian American voices, reach out to start a casting.
  3. We Scale with the Movement: As Democrats build power from the ground up, Blue Wave is ready to scale the demand for high-quality, human voiceover. We deliver professional voiceover with consistency you can trust that resists conservative messaging aiming to silence us.

At Blue Wave Voiceover, we know the power of narrative. Political campaigns don’t just need words — they need voice, humanity, targeted tone, gravitas, and sometimes a little bit of snark. 

Don’t just pick any voice. Pick a voice partner who gets it.

DiversityThese November wins are more than just political victories. They’re a signal that voters are rejecting simplistic rhetoric and responding to real-life solutions.

Blue Wave Voiceover has the expertise, mission-alignment, and creative edge to help your message land, whether you’re speaking to suburban moderates, young organizers, or affinity communities. If you’re a campaign manager, PAC, non-profit, or progressive organization looking to ride this momentum into 2026 and beyond, listen to our pro voice talent.

Let’s make sure voters hear you — clearly, definitively and authentically.

How Funny Commercials Drive Brand Recall

November 24, 2025 by Blue Wave Voiceover

How Funny Commercials Drives Brand Recall

Funny commercials build instant connection and trust. They make a brand relatable and, most importantly, shareable in our fast digital age. Humor boosts memory recall and positive associations that leave a lasting impression. Think about a funny commercial that sticks in your mind. Maybe it’s been years since it aired but that’s the power of humor!

After years of focusing on purpose-driven messages, humor in advertising is on the rise. The key is knowing whether or not humor is right for your brand. If you’re thinking of hiring a funny voice over talent for your political ad, check out Blue Wave Voiceover’s talents.

Most importantly, comedy can be a great tool that builds brand likeability. If an audience is resistant to buying something like homeowner’s insurance, a character like Mayhem can make them laugh and, suddenly, buying it seems like a good idea after all. Flo was personable and made it seem like a no-brainer to buy Progressive. The Geico Gecko and Aflac Duck might be some of our favorite TV mascots that brought long-term brand equity to these businesses.

Brands that invest in hiring funny voice over actors often see their ads stand out in crowded markets.

 

Blue Wave Voiceover has the professional voice over talent that can be your man or woman who delivers the punchline that keeps the audience laughing. A voice over actor is sometimes hired to perform an outro by simply stating the brand name and tag line. Or maybe you’re looking to hire a voice over actor with a funny southern or east coast accent that makes your funny commercials even more memorable. 

Check out funny commercials from some of our talent below!

Sometimes funny celebrities like Tina Fey or Ryan Reynolds have the voice tone that fits your brand. If you’re looking for a voice that sounds like a celebrity, Blue Wave can help you find them.

Examples of the Most Iconic Funny Commercials

Comedy is all about timing. Whether it’s on radio, TV, or social media, the best funny commercials are the ones that use timing, originality, and a great punchline to make it memorable.

Let’s see how some of the best commercials in radio and TV use humor to reinforce the brand’s message or reinvent it!

Classic Radio Commercial: Budweiser’s Real Men of Genius 

  • Absurd comedy + a memorable jingle = Comedy Genius
  • This funny ad ran in the early aughts and remains a classic.
  • Know Your Audience: Targeting younger male blue-collar consumers.

Classic Epic Rebrand: Old Spice’s Bold

  • There’s a reason why “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” is one of the Top Campaigns of the 21st century by Ad Age.
  • Surreal comedy + sharp writing = brand reinvention
  • Know Your Audience: Aimed at couples because women were the majority who bought male body wash.
  • Went viral by making 186 video responses to questions culled from various online sources.

Classic Funny Commercials from the Super Bowl

Doritos, Bud Light, Geico, Allstate—these are recognizable brands that audiences anticipate every year during the Super Bowl. It’s when advertisers maximize their ad time using humor to create event-worthy buzz.

E*Trade Baby Girlfriend 

  • Surreal comedy that uses adult voice overs matched with talking babies and a punch line that delivers.
  • Brand Takeaway: So easy even a baby could do it!

Audiences love watching the Super Bowl to see their favorite celebrities do outrageous or unexpected things.

Iconic Super Bowl Funny Commercial: Betty White’s Snickers Ad

  • The Unexpected: TV Legend Betty White as our favorite grandma-type playing football and trash-talking with the guys.
  • Brand Reinforcement: You’re not you when you’re hungry. 

“Talken like Walken”: Christopher Walken & BMW 

  • Christopher Walken is a famous Hollywood actor but how he speaks is legendary. 
  • Brand Takeway: By mining his most famous characteristic, the audience is reminded that BMW has no imitators.

Tina Fey & Booking.com

  • With help from a few “30 Rock” friends, funny gal Tina Fey can easily book whoever she wants to be for her next trip
  • Know Your Audience: The campaign “focuses on the evolving desires of travelers to explore the diverse personas within themselves and choose who they want to be every time they travel.”

Why Funny Commercials Work So Well: 4 Takeaways

  1. Know your audience.
  2. Match comedic style to brand personality.
  3. Keeping it simple.
  4. Humor should amplify, not distract.

These iconic funny commercials created brand recall via memorable characters that used humor to the full effect. They’re also examples of consistent tone and characters building consumer loyalty. 

According to Forbes in 2025, “Women now make up 46% of all Super Bowl viewers” and “representation in advertising leads to a 40% increase in consumer trust and a 25% lift in brand affinity.”  Knowing your audience and representation are important to keep in mind when casting your next voice over whether for the Super Bowl or beyond. Blue Wave Voiceover has a wide array of  professional African American, Asian American, LGBTQIA+, and Spanish Speaking talent.

And if you’re really lucky, your next campaign can become a classic funny commercial like Old Spice.

Comedy That Converts

Funny commercials can be unforgettable, sharable, and likable. Hiring talented and funny voice over talent is one of the easiest ways to guarantee laughs without forcing it. 

If you’re an agency or casting director ready to create your next standout commercial, consider hiring funny voice over actors who can deliver laughs while keeping your brand message clear.

Art of the Audiobook Narration: Hiring an Audiobook Narrator

September 20, 2025 by Blue Wave Voiceover

With the growing popularity of audiobooks, you may need to hire a professional audiobook narrator. Blue Wave has a roster of professional audiobook voice over talent who know how to make listeners engage with your story. 

Generating over $2 billion in sales, every year more and more people listen to audiobooks. Access has grown via Audible making its entire catalog available on Amazon Music or, most recently, Spotify’s launch of Audiobooks+. With more ways to access audiobooks, the industry continues growing and so does the need for professional audiobook narrators!

A Voice Over Actor for Every Audiobook Genre

Whether your book is a popular genre like self-help, biography, or a memoir, each genre requires a different skill from a voice actor. A talent who is skilled in video game or animation can transform into unique characters as a children’s audiobook narrator. If your topic leans more towards medical research then a voiceover talent skilled in medical narration can handle the technical language. Don’t forget that a voice actor familiar with True Crime may be a great fit for your bone-chilling story. 

Top 3 Things to Keep In Mind When Hiring an Audiobook Narrator

One of Blue Wave’s professional audiobook narrators is André Santana, an Audie, Earphone & SOVAS winner. He says, “Authors and producers are sometimes looking for the voice in their heads, but other times we’re cast because they’re pulled in by strong and unique choices the narrator makes.” 

1. Keeping an Open Mind Opens More Possibilities

When casting your next audiobook voice over actor, the tone of the book’s subject and its genre are important elements to keep in mind when casting. Yet as André points out, sometimes listening to an actor can change what you originally had in mind – this can be a good thing! Begin with a breakdown of gender, tone, and age for a narrator but be open to what a great voice talent can offer. 

2. Authentic Voices Give Credibility 

Carolina Hoyos

Another important element to consider is whether you need a narrator who can authentically tell a particular story? For example, Carolina Hoyos won an Audiofile Earphones Award for her narration of “The Disappeared” set during Argentina’s Dirty War. Thanks to her ability to change accents and her “nimble” use of English and Spanish, Carolina was the perfect choice to narrate this emotional historical fiction story. Reviews said that “Hoyos convincingly conveys anxiety, panic, and fear, captivating listeners.” Depending on your story, you may need a voice actor that credibly represents Black, LGBTQIA+, Asian, Southern accents, or more mature female or male voices. 

3. Find an Audiobook Narrator Who is a Natural Storyteller

Additionally, Carolina Hoyos’ narration of a non-fiction book called “Native Nations” is a great example of a narrator acting more as a storyteller than just reciting historical facts. And her own native heritage helped to make her a great choice to tell the indigenous history of the United States.

An experienced voice actor does more than just read words but instead they can transport the listener through a character’s emotional journey in a genre like fiction or truly engage listeners in genre like non-fiction.

Blue Wave Voiceover Audiobook Narrators

Tom Test

Blue Wave Voice Talent Tom Test says, “Sometimes the work is challenging, when I have to learn unfamiliar concepts and terminology so that I can explain them adequately. I find it rewarding when I learn new things as I have recently in the fields of investing and tax strategies. I do research on Google and YouTube to familiarize myself with the subject matter before recording.” Tom’s relatable and authoritative voice also makes complex financial terminology easier to understand.

Depending on the project, a voice talent like Tom may work independently without a producer and only need to send the audio files to an editor. Sometimes he needs to self-direct but, as he says, “I like a good challenge.” Either way a professional voice over actor like Tom understands that preparation is key to getting familiar with the material before he dives into the recording booth. 

For a different kind of project like bilingual audiobooks, Spanish and English voice talent Carolina Hoyas says, ”I’m often hired for my facility with accents and languages. I map out phonetic pronunciations after the author and director provide a list of words to prepare. I make sure I hear myself say the words out loud before the session so I’m not spending time figuring it out while I’m narrating.”

Furthermore, a passionate and dynamic voice talent like André Santana explains that narrators like himself want to build “a relationship to texts that allows us to deliver great performances wherever we go: across genre, audience, and character. Sometimes a book is absolutely unexpected – a phenomenal writing voice, a breaking of form, an absolutely original book, and when I’m in the booth with something like that I have to be engaged with every sentence. Those are my absolute favorite audiobooks to record.”

Ready to Hire Your Next Audiobook Narrator?

A trusted partner like Blue Wave Voiceover can help you hire a professional audiobook narrator who is ready to embolden progressive stories that challenge extreme conservative views or authentically represent groups like LGBTQIA+, Native and Indigenous, Black, Latinx, non-binary, or Asian, Our talent can also quickly deliver from their broadcast quality home studios.

Tell Us a Little About Your Broadcast-Quality Home Studio. Where Is It? What Kind of Equipment do You Have? What Do You Like About It?

I love my home studio! My wife and I built my studio in a 3×5 walk-in closet when we bought our house 6 years ago. Had electrical installed, bought a laptop that has fan control, did all of the treatment, etc. We had so much fun with it. It’s my workspace every day, so it needed to feel personal. We use the spare bedroom to the closet as our studio dog’s “lounge.” She has her own couch. I love my setup – I have a Sennheiser 416 MKH mic, and Apollo Solo preamp. I’ve become a whiz at Adobe Audition, and I am told I come through super nicely through SourceConnect!

What’s One Thing That Most People Don’t Know About You?

I was born legally blind in my left eye due to severe refractive amblyopia. It wasn’t correctable, so it messes with my depth perception.

How Did You Get Into Voiceover Work?

I quit smoking so I could do it. I made a deal with myself that if I quit smoking after 30 years, I could finally have a voice to do voiceover. And I wanted to do it by 50. I started training for VO when I was 49!

Do You Remember the First Voiceover Job you Ever Did?

The first thing I actually recorded for pay was an eLearning series for my old company back in 2020 – I am certain it was not good! 

What Can You Offer to a New Client Who’s Working With You for The First Time?

Stellar service – I work quickly and efficiently – and I take direction & feedback like a champ. I have a ton of experience doing live sessions as well.

What Has Been Your Favorite Voiceover Project – Political or Otherwise – to Date?

I was the voice of an elderly urine sample for a medical school video. It was a hoot!

What Is Your Biggest Voiceover Pet Peeve?

When someone asks me to “do a funny voice” on command. It’s awkward.

If You Could Tell Political Voiceover Clients One Thing That Would Help You do Your Job Better, or Help Them Get What They Want Faster – What Would That One Thing Be?

Many times I don’t hear back after I send something in that I was hired to record – and then a couple weeks later I’m checking in to be sure it went to air, and sometimes I’ll get pickups from that check-in or just a “send us an invoice.” Checking in with the voice talent sooner than later is great for us so we know the status of the project. (With SO MUCH appreciation for all the producers and engineers for what they do all day every day – I am amazed by the talent out there, for real!)

What Advice Do You Have for Talents Who Want to Do Political Voiceover?

For sure get trained for it – it’s a niche area of VO, and there are certain things producers want from you that other genres may not require. Then check out local and state races to get started. Find out who does their spots. If you land a huge campaign out of the gate, yay you! However, it mostly starts small and/or local – but can build up quickly.

What Hobbies Do You Have Outside of Your Voiceover Work?

I love to go to trivia night at the beer garden, travel for work and play, host dinner parties, and fight for our Democratic rights in any way I can.

Any Final Thoughts?

Absolutely know how to go through a live session before you hop on to do one for a political ad. If you want to practice, find a coach who will talk you through it. You’ll thank yourself later.
