Deb DeVries . Never Give Up
19Stories
The guest joining me today is someone whose voice you may have already heard, as Deb DeVries is an award-winning voice actor and narrator based right here in my neck of the woods in the San Francisco Bay Area. Deb's narration has earned recognition from the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences, Gravy for the Brain's One Voice Awards, and most recently, four Communicator Awards at the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards, including an Award of Excellence for her narration of Welcome to George Washington's Mount Vernon. What I love about Deb's story, as with several of my previous guest’s, is that...

Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson . Still Becoming
19Stories
One of the reasons I began this podcast is that I believe the stories we tell become the legacy we leave. And for far too long, too many stories have been muted; especially those of women. Today’s guest has made it her life’s work to change that. Before she ever stepped behind a microphone, Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson spent nearly twenty years in higher education leadership. With a doctorate in Organizational Psychology, she led institutional assessment, accreditation, research, and compliance efforts across multiple universities. She taught psychology, statistics, and leadership. She...

Teri Parker Brown . Minneapolis
19Stories
As the opening of my podcast informs you, I do not live in Minneapolis, but across the country in Sonoma County, CA. I’ve been thinking a lot about voices lately. Not the loud ones. Not the ones on cable news. The steady ones. The voice that explains something complicated and suddenly you can breathe again. The voice on stage that reminds you who you are. The voice that says, “You’re not alone.” For almost forty years, Teri Parker Brown has been that voice in Minneapolis. She’s stood on the stages of Chanhassen, The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and History Theatre in Saint...

Nancy May . High Performance Governance
19Stories
In this podcast, I talk with artists, actors, musicians, writers, coaches, and creative pioneers as they share personal, powerful, and often humorous stories of facing adversity and the wisdom they gleaned in the process. I started this podcast back in 2020 as a way to connect with fellow creatives during a time of fear and uncertainty. Five years later, I’m still sharing stories of creativity, resilience, reinvention, and hope. My guest today is a true renaissance woman who embodies all of these attributes as she wears many hats— and does so extremely well. Nancy May is the...

Jo Yuan . "Banana-Brained" . Meisner & Voice Trained
19Stories
It’s not often that I’ll get to introduce a guest whose moniker is “banana-brained and voice-trained”! But joining me today is a woman who is the embodiment of quirkiness, versatility, and her own words “a bit unhinged”. From clown noses to stage and to your favorite streaming platforms, Jo Yuan has covered a lot of ground...and that’s saying something given she’s been in the entertainment industry just shy of 6 years, and in voiceover for five of those years. She’s made audiences laugh, cry while pondering social biases through the roles and characters she’s...

Sandra Russell . Managing the Mic
19Stories
If you’re tuning in for the first time, welcome, and to my longtime listeners, you know that throughout the years you’ve heard me interview some of the most iconic voices behind your favorite commercials, video games, documentaries, etc... But today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a voice that gets much less exposure—but is crucial to running a successful voiceover business as she’s the Unsung Hero of a Voiceover Virtuoso who’s all about the business of sound! Sandra Russell may not be a name that you’re familiar with, or have a voice you recognize—but her fingerprints are all...
info_outlineI am so excited for you to meet my next guest, and yet I have to say out of all the guests that I’ve welcomed to this podcast, crafting an intro for this one has certainly presented a challenge in summarizing her vast credits and expertise.
This multi-preneur’s career spans almost 2 decades in several high-profile, very successful businesses. First, as an award winning voice talent with an incredibly impressive list of world-renowned clients, as the President and Founder of her own voice and business coaching community, VO Peeps, where she specializes in Commercial and Narration Voiceover training, along with Strategic Target Market Demo Consultation and Production, to help her students in developing a broad range of current, real world skills applicable to their careers.
For the past six years she’s also produced and hosted her award winning VO BOSS Podcast; one of the first podcasts to offer budding and thriving voice actors a winning business mindset and plan to choose the best marketing strategies & tools. The VO BOSS Podcast guides voiceover talent toward success by helping talent navigate today’s VO industry and to have fun along the way! VO BOSS was recently recognized by her industry peers with a 2023 One Voice Awards Nomination Best Voiceover Services Provider of the Year and has also received numerous SOVAS nominations and wins.
Add to that, the time she takes each Thursday morning to join me and our other co-moderator, Jodi Krangle, in our Voices in Podcasting room on Clubhouse.
Let’s meet this powerhouse of talent and success, by welcoming the one and only VO Boss, Ms. Anne Ganguzza…
