Queer, Genderfluid & Non-Binary Voiceover – Meet Allegra Verlezza

Representation, Meet The Talent

Allegra Verlezza – Queer, Genderfluid & Non-Binary Voiceover

Link to full profile: bluewavevoiceover.com/voices/allegra-verlezza

Email: allegra@allegraverlezza.com

If you’re looking for a queer, non-binary and genderfluid voiceover talent who can deliver your political spot with authenticity and passion, meet Allegra Verlezza! Allegra (they/she) is a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and as a genderfluid person, feels comfortable and affirmed voicing roles for women and non-binary folks. They are committed to amplifying progressive messages that advance real, meaningful change.

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 home studio is a creative hybrid of a closet booth and a free-standing blanket booth in my Brooklyn apartment. My closet and its doors are completely lined with 2 inch thick foam panels and I situate myself and my mic between the open closet doors. I have Producer’s Choice sound-absorbing blankets running along a ceiling track outside of the closet that act as curtains and quietly enclose my booth. As for light, I have a dreamy curtain of twinkle lights behind me which makes it feel like the coolest blanket fort ever.

In terms of equipment, I have a Rode NT1 mic, Solid State Logic SSL2 audio interface, and a computer monitor hooked up to my Macbook Air that sits right outside of my booth. I found these nifty mobile, adjustable desks that are meant for close-quarters living in a college dorm (not unlike living in NYC) and I converted two of them into mobile booth desks. All of my tech, including my iPad for reading scripts, either sits on these desks or are clamped to the sides so none of my equipment has to be fixed to one spot. Most of the time I stand so I can access my full range of wacky and dramatic movement but if I have a longer session, I can easily pop a stool into the booth since all my equipment is mobile.

I love this accessible and malleable quality about my booth because it means I always have the room to move and be physically present as an actor. What I don’t like about it? Well, it’s situated next to a window that looks out over a loooong row of backyards so I could do without the trees knocking against my building, music blasting, or the flocks of birds that seem to run formation drills every afternoon.

Update: my cat has discovered that he can claw open my blanket curtains and zoom around me. Send help.

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

My first foray into performance was through dance! I grew up in a family of modern dancers, who specialized in making dance accessible to people of abilities and minds. I spent many years studying modern dance and ballet and I still love to dance – especially at queer dance parties! This early exposure to diverse types of movement and just being comfortable with wiggling my limbs really instilled in me a deep presence and comfort with moving my body. I totally bring this connection to dance and my body into my booth because as we know, EVERYTHING influences the voice and vocal performance and that definitely includes moving and feeling alive and activated in my body.

How did you get into voiceover work?

Buckle in. From being a cartoon-obsessed kid to a high school theater dork to an adult actor who convinces all their friends to watch the latest animated shows – especially the growing number of cartoons with LGBTQ+ rep – I LOVE vocal performance! I always have. It’s just…its own kind of magic when an actor breathes life into a bunch of moving lines and color. I wasn’t always able to name and celebrate this passion though. The person who gave me the confidence to own my continued love of cartoons as an adult is Rebecca Sugar, cartoonist/artist/showrunner extraordinaire and creator of Steven Universe. And a fellow bisexual and non-binary creative! Watching the literal slew of diverse LGBTQ+ characters in her show, I saw myself for the first time in a cartoon. Listening to interviews where Sugar speaks so unapologetically about her lifelong love of animation was a really healing experience for me as a young person who (is this not ridiculous?) was put down a lot for loving these animated shows that quite literally saved my life. I even got into cosplay!

SO. This beautiful moment of self-actualization along with still loving acting and being miserable at my first job out of college made me think, “well, why can’t I try voice acting and being in cartoons?” I started researching classes and then the real catalyst was a colleague of mine who saw me LIGHT UP with curiosity and joy when she mentioned that her sister worked full-time in animation. That colleague connected me to her sister who connected me to someone else in the industry (are you following?), who generously took the time to have coffee with me and answer alllll my questions about getting into voice acting and children’s media. I walked out of that midtown coffee shop, whipped out my phone, and signed up for my first voiceover class.

And you know what I found? There are SO MANY awesome types of voiceover! I hopped from class to class, discovering different genres – like political! – and jumped head-first into the incredible world of voiceover. The short answer – I took a class. The longish answer – a bunch of people paid it forward by being their full authentic selves and generously fostering other people’s joy.

What is your biggest voiceover pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve in voiceover is when listeners assume a voice of a certain identity sounds a certain way. As a queer genderfluid person, this becomes personal when it comes to voice actors under the non-binary umbrella. The voiceover industry has made a lot of progress in terms of diverse casting but unfortunately, there are still a lot of expectations that a “non-binary voice” is a monolith and should “sound androgynous” or “neutral” or… non-gendered? My voice is full of gender! A big, colorful, messy painting of gender. And I “sound non-binary” because I am non-binary. Even though my voice isn’t mid-low range or what people often deem “androgynous-sounding,” I sound genderfluid because I am genderfluid. And there are non-binary voices that do have those qualities and that’s fantastic! It just shouldn’t be an assumed standard that is frankly grounded in patriarchal, cis-centric views of gender.

This automatic coupling of certain vocal qualities with certain gender identities (i.e. women’s voices sound like X and men’s voices sound like Y) fails to realize a beautiful truth: just as sexuality and gender identity are diverse spectrums, so is voice. And just like we’re unlearning so many things ingrained in us from the oppressive structures in our society, we’re unlearning assumptions and taught biases about what a certain identity’s voice sounds like. I encourage folks, in all fields but especially in voiceover, to not limit ourselves with rigid ideas about what a certain gender identity sounds like. What any identity sounds like, including women and men! Let’s embrace the fact that anyone can quite literally sound like anything. After all, my biggest voiceover LOVE is that this community is so supportive and this craft is all about being fully and authentically YOU.

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

Well, to follow up on the above, BE YOU. Be fully, freely, totally you. This advice goes for all genres of voiceover but especially when it comes to political work. (My gender studies degree is screaming everything is political! But let’s talk genre.) Go inward. Who are you and what are your fights? Go outward towards community. Who are you in solidarity with and who are you fighting for? Bring all of this specificity to your reads, even if it’s not you explicitly giving literal words to this. Bring the feeling, the passion, the urgency, the compassion, the humanity.

What hobbies do you have outside of your voiceover work?

Fiber arts! I’ve loved knitting ever since I begged my mom at the age of 8 to buy me a pair of needles and the COOLEST rainbow tie-dye yarn I found at Michaels (#CanonicallyQueer). I knitted throughout childhood – my mom still uses this lumpy eyeglasses holder I made for her, bless her heart – and after a several-year pause, I picked up a pair of needles again when I was feeling quite low in my early twenties. And my goodness does knitting do wonders for anxiety and depression! I love to be able to create something out of nothing with my hands. It occupies my busy mind and is a perfect way to relax my voice after a long day of auditions.

When the Wear a Mask Message Becomes Really Personal

Representation, Blog, Public Health, Pandemic

Blue Wave Voiceover George Washington III photoGeorge Washington III is the resident deep, bass, resonant, African American voice here at Blue Wave Voiceover. His message to everyone right now?

Wear a mask. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the need for protection hit George really close to home. Unfortunately he lost both his mother and father to COVID-19 within weeks of each other and then he contracted the virus himself.

He recently shared his story and had a feature published in the Q City Metro by author Sabrina Clark. From their website:

“George Washington III is a voiceover actor with a James Earl Jones-esque resonance. His body of work runs the gamut, from radio spots for the Carolina Panthers to national TV commercials for Mountain Dew Ice (including one featuring rapper Cardi B) to exhibits at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

While Washington’s line of work is fascinating, the 52-year-old has a new motivation these days: urging people to wear masks to help safeguard against the Covid-19 disease. In North Carolina, the number of confirmed cases continues to reach record highs, disproportionately affecting people of color. Washington’s battle cry is a personal testimony of someone who lost his dad due to the virus and suffered from his own bout.”

Being a caregiver to his father after he contracted the virus, ultimately is what caused his exposure. He continues:

“We believe that in those processes, and the amount of time I was spending with him, I caught a full viral load,” the caretaker turned patient explained. In addition to hallmark symptoms like a spike in fever and body aches, Washington battled significant gastrointestinal issues.

“My problems began when I couldn’t stand the smell of food anymore…it’s very hard to force yourself to eat when you can’t even stand the scent of it,” he recalled.

From late May through mid-June, Washington says he only ate apples and oranges. By the time he returned to Charlotte late last month to self-quarantine, he’d lost 20 pounds. He described the ordeal as “pretty miserable.”

You can read the rest of the Q City Metro profile here: https://qcitymetro.com/2020/07/09/voice-actors-message-to-wear-a-mask-comes-after-losing-dad-and-his-own-covid-19-battle/

George only stopped working for a short period of time. Once he was well enough, he was back up and at it in the booth recording spots for Democrats and progressives running for office this election season.

But more than anything – in memory of his mother and father – George would like you to wear a mask. Not only to protect yourself but to protect those around you.

Here at Blue Wave Voiceover extend our deepest condolences to the Washington family on their loss.

Hispanic Female Voiceovers in English and Spanish – Meet Rosi Amador

Representation, Meet The Talent

Blue Wave Voiceover Rosi Amador photoRosi Amador – Hispanic Female Voiceovers in English and Spanish

Link to full profile: bluewavevoiceover.com/voices/rosi-amador/

Email: rosi@amadorbilingualvoiceovers.com

When you’re looking for a female voiceover talent who can deliver your political spot flawlessly in both English and Spanish, look no further than Hispanic bilingual voiceover talent, Rosi Amador. Rosi actually comes from a family of bilingual voiceover artists. We’re proud to have her husband Brian and son Zia on our Blue Wave Voiceover roster as well. Rosi is also able to deliver copy in English with an authentic Hispanic accent. We know that the Latin and Hispanic community represents a large part of the electorate and is a huge target for Democratic candidates and ballot initiatives, so using a confident female voice like Rosi can authentically help get your message into the right ears!

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?

We’re lucky to live in a lovely, solidly built 1850’s home in a quiet neighborhood in Cambridge MA where we set up a professional home studio to record our music in the 1990’s. In 2009 we vamped it up for voiceovers. We’re 100% Remote-Ready with SourceConnect Pro, ipDTL, phone patch or Zoom/Skype available for our clients to listen in or direct in real time.  We use various topnotch microphones including a Warm Audio WA-87, CAD E100S, Audio Technica AT4040, AKG Perception 220, Shure SM-7B and AKG Perception 120, an Apogee Duet 2 preamp/interface. Our preferred DAW is Twisted Wave but we also use Digital Performer 9, Logic Pro and Reaper recording software.

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

Many of our voiceover clients may not know that we’re also professional Latin musicians. In fact we toured for 27 years prior to choosing to move into our full-time voiceover career in 2009. I am our Latin band Sol y Canto‘s lead singer and bongo player/percussionist and my husband Brian is our composer/arranger and a fabulous Spanish guitarist if I do say so myself. I am passionate about doing improvisational singing these days and am furiously studying it online during this pandemic so that I can come out scatting like Ella Fitzgerald (I wish).

How did you get into voiceover work?

A music colleague and fan asked us to record children’s stories and eLearning modules for Scholastic in the early 90’s and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A few years later the hospital where I gave birth to our twins caught wind that I was a Latin singer with a following and asked me to record a testimonial in both English and Spanish as a TV and radio spot. I went into my first pro voiceover studio downtown in Boston and recorded with several producers listening in and directing. It went great and I was hooked. Right then and there I decided I would pursue bilingual voiceovers as a way of using my voice creatively moving forward that didn’t require that I tour constantly away from my infant twins once they started school. I recorded part-time as I built up my client base and went full-time in 2009. I love it!

Do you remember the first voiceover job you ever did?

The first spot was for the Hospital I gave birth in – St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Boston. It was a bilingual spot about what good care they took of me and my premature twins. All true and very personal. I did it pro-bono to help the hospital and their wonderful NICU nurses and doctors.

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

I had the privilege of being selected to record the overdubbed English voice for the fearless indigenous leader Nemonte Nenquimo in “Global Goal: Unite for our Future,” an internationally broadcast documentary and concert. It calls on citizens to tackle global injustices by using our collective voice to drive change for everyone, everywhere. This online event was produced by Global Citizen, a social action platform for a global generation that aims to solve the world’s biggest challenges and promotes social change. Here it is:

Why do you think voiceover is an important part of political advertising this season?

Now more than ever diverse voices must be uplifted, and all the Democratic and progressive candidates know that they must include Latin, Hispanic, African-American and our Native populations voices in their campaigns in order to be voted in. These populations are amongst the ones that have been most hard hit by the double crisis of the pandemic and systemic racism.

What issues would you like to see at the center of the Democratic platform for this year’s election?

Ending the separation of immigrant children from their families; radical immigration reform, including protection for Dreamers,
policies to combat systemic racism including community-based police department reform, access to quality early childhood education, and quality healthcare coverage for all.

What is your biggest voiceover pet peeve?

When clients send me scripts in Spanish that were translated by Google Translate or by someone who is not a professional translator and they are literally translated in a way that no Latin or Hispanic person would ever speak. It happens more often that I care to say, and puts me in the uncomfortable position of having to point this out to the client and help them fix these problems. I will not voice anything that is not written in proper Spanish, so I’m happy to help with this, but it’s not how I prefer to use my time. I do my best to educate each client so that when they return they’ll have a pro to send the script to in advance. It’s a win/win.

Sol Y CantoIf 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?

I frequently record bilingual versions of spots and very often the Spanish is too long for the :30 or :60 time frame. There are 25-30% more words in Spanish than in English, so if the creative team hires a pro translator who understands and practices the script to see if it’ll fit into the amount of time that’s available, by the time the script gets to me it’s good to go. It is usually well written and I don’t have to rush (making it sound like a used car sales ad!) This makes my job way easier and more fun! I love doing political spots for causes and folks I believe in when I get the opportunity.

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

Study with knowledgeable voice acting coaches or an acting coach, listen to political ads and learn about the different styles so you’re fluent in them and will know what approach to take when you get a script.

What hobbies do you have outside of your voiceover work?

I’m a longtime yoga practitioner and I meditate daily. My husband and I also do a vocal improvisation every morning after we meditate together. It’s a great way to start off the day before I exercise. And I LOVE to travel, when it’s allowed! Can’t wait.

Any final thoughts?

It’s an honor for me to be able to represent the Latin community in my political voiceover work. I am frequently hired to be the voice of an immigrant, a business owner, or to voice the spot of a Latin political candidate who is trying to make things better for my community. There is no higher honor than this one, whether it’s in English, Spanish or Hispanic-accented English.

Hispanic Male Voiceovers in English and Spanish – Meet Brian Amador

Representation, Meet The Talent

We’ve started a new series to introduce you to our talents by going even more in-depth than their profile listings. So, welcome to Meet The Blue Wave Voiceover Talent!

Brian Amador – Hispanic Male Voiceovers in English and Spanish

When you’re looking for a voiceover artist who can deliver your political spot flawlessly in both English and Spanish, look no further than Hispanic bilingual male voiceover talent, Brian Amador. Brian actually comes from a family of bilingual voiceover artists. We’re proud to have his wife Rosi and son Zia on our Blue Wave Voiceover roster as well. Brian is also able to deliver copy in English with an authentic Hispanic accent. Latin community represents a large part of the electorate and is a huge target for Democratic candidates and ballot initiatives, so using a voice like Brian can help get your message into the right ears!

Blue Wave Voiceover Brian Amador PhotoTell 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?

Our studio is in the partially-underground basement of our 1850’s era house. It has beautiful wide pine paneling and a massive beam running across the ceiling, which gave it good acoustic properties even before we set it up as a studio. Now it has a sound-dampening window, curtain and door as well as acoustic ceiling treatment, and sounds wonderfully warm and quiet. Our go-to mics are the AudioTechnica 4040 and the Sennheiser MK416.

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

I’m an avid cook.

How did you get into voiceover work?

Almost by accident. Many years ago a colleague hired my wife and me to record English/Spanish bilingual children’s stories, and little by little we started doing more and more voiceover. When our kids were in high school, we decided to shift from our careers as traveling musicians towards voiceover in order to be home for them more often.

Do you remember the first political voiceover spot that you did?

Martin Heimlich, Democratic senator from New Mexico (my home state). Spanish ad. He won, because of me, naturally.

What issues would you like to see at the center of the Democratic platform for this year’s election?

Climate change, police reform, immigrant rights, voting rights protections, restoring the hope of democracy…

What is your biggest voiceover pet peeve?

Not a fan of upspeak or vocal fry.

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?

If you’re not going to do a directed session, be as specific as you can about what you want. If you hire us for Spanish voiceover, PLEASE make sure you have it professionally translated.

What hobbies do you have outside of your voiceover work?

I can’t say music is a hobby because I still do it professionally, but it is my main pursuit outside of VO.

Mature African American Female Voiceover – Meet Krysta Wallrauch

Representation, Meet The Talent

We’ve started a new series to introduce you to our talents by going even more in-depth than their profile listings. So, welcome to Meet The Blue Wave Voiceover Talent!

Krysta Wallrauch – Mature African American Female Voiceover

Blue Wave Voiceover Krysta Wallrauch HeadshotTell 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 studio is located on the lower level of my home. It’s equipped with professional grade sound proofing and carpeting, along with a stand-alone monitor in my booth.  My studio is equipped with a Sennheiser MKH416, audio interfaced with Centrance MicPort Pro, Source Connect Standard, and Adobe Audition. I also have the capability to do live, directed sessions via phone patch (Google Phone/Hangouts), Skype, or Zoom.  I like that I’m able to communicate with my clients in real time, that I can produce professional quality audio, and that I’m able to do so quickly and professionally!

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

I won an award as part of the Music Ensemble in Little Shop of Horrors, which was asked to represent the U.S. in New Delhi, India.

How did you get into voiceover work?

Voiceover chose me. I wasn’t looking for it, to be honest. Didn’t even know it was a “thing” when I found myself booking work. It was my husband’s dream, and he encouraged me to go along with him for support. As I began auditioning, I kept booking work. At that point, my husband found me a VO coach and the rest is history!

Do you remember what your first voiceover spot was?

Oh, yeah!!! It was for a Fortune 500 company. They were located in California, and my voice was part of a piece being used with a video during their yearly conference. I only had to record 5 words!

Do you remember the first political voiceover spot that you did?

Actually, I do! However, I didn’t even have a demo for political at the time, which was pretty cool.

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

I was privileged to play the part of Harriet Tubman in a podcast that won several awards for their historical excellence. Being able to portray Harriet will stay with me for a very long time. I still remember getting goose bumps when I listened to the podcast with my parts incorporated. It was interesting and inspiring.

Why do you think voiceover will be an important part of political advertising in the 2020 election?

I suppose because aside from COVID, it’s the hot topic on most everyones lips. There is a lot riding on the upcoming election for the vast majority, and voiceover is THE best way to get the message out there!

What issues would you like to see at the center of the Democratic platform for this year’s election?

There’s such a big mess right now, I wouldn’t even know where to begin!

What is your biggest voiceover pet peeve?

My biggest voiceover pet peeve is when the client doesn’t have the full specs I need in order to quote a fair price for recording. That, and allergies. I hate allergies.

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?

Know exactly what it is you need from me when communicating. This is beneficial to me in recording what’s needed quickly, and with excellence. I want the client happy and I want them to come back for more!

What advice do you have to aspiring voiceover talents that want to work in the political arena?

My advice would be to get a kick-butt VO coach to train you so when it comes time to record and produce your demo, you stand OUT in the crowds!

What hobbies do you have outside of your voiceover work?

Since I have children whom I home educate, I don’t yet have time for hobbies, but I enjoy cooking, getting mani/pedis, sketching and painting with my daughter, and in the near future, I plan to learn to play the guitar!

African American Female Voiceover – Meet Cenophia Mitchell

Representation, Meet The Talent

Meet Cenophia Mitchell. We’ve started a new series to introduce you to our talents by going even more in-depth than their profile listings. So, welcome to Meet The Blue Wave Voiceover Talent!

Meet Cenophia Mitchell – African American Female Voiceover

Cenophia MitchellTell 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?

Mic: Audio-Technica AT-2035. Apogee MiC. Audio Interface: Steinberg UR12. Software:  Audacity. Garageband. Logic.

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

People who know me well know, but many people are surprised that I hate two popular “C” foods chicken and coconut. No, I am not a vegetarian. Yes, I have a very inconvenient coconut intolerance.

How did you get into voiceover work?

Voice over was my first job ever. I got the chance to voice a gossiping muppet for the TV Show “CityKids” with Jim Henson Productions. It was many years later, while working as a apple tech, that a friend mentioned a voiceover class she was taking and loved. I decided to take the class too, and was inspired to get back into it!

Do you remember the first political voiceover spot that you did?

My first political voiceover was a non-partisan spot about making sure people actually go out and vote.

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

My first voiceover project will always be my favorite. Since then, the idea of never quite knowing what genre of voiceover the next project I do will be is my favorite thing about voiceover. It’s hard to pick one favorite when they are all so different.

Why do you think voiceover will be an important part of political advertising in the 2020 election?

As we strive for ways to stay connected in 2020, and information becomes more overwhelming, having a trusted and informed voice will be very important in highlighting issues and candidates that need our attention. Whether formal or personal, a human voice will be an extremely important way of communicating, especially while being face to face is more limited than ever before.

What issues would you like to see at the center of the Democratic platform for this year’s election?

Any Issues that involve empathy for what humans are going through, not just businesses.

What is your biggest voiceover pet peeve?

Blatantly false information. I don’t want to be a voice that causes misinformation to seem true.Blue Wave Voiceover Nophia Mitchell photo

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?

Please share your thoughts on what you want the project to look and sound like. Or let me know what you think my voice can add to your message. The more we are on the same page the better.

What advice do you have to aspiring voiceover talents that want to work in the political arena?

Worry less about sounding like the voices you already hear and more about what your unique voice can bring to the table.

What hobbies do you have outside of your voiceover work?

I try to always stay creative in general but I love marathons of Karaoke, taking way too many pictures, and shenanigans with friends.
