I hope you enjoyed our last episode where VO Chef, Brandon Miller, shared his Mama’s Red Sauce! If you missed that episode, then I highly encourage you to give it a listen.

Today’s VO Chef, Billie Jo Konze is a trained performer with almost two decades of professional stage, on-camera, and improv experience, but she’s the first to say that commercial VO is her true love. And with her real-life experience in the restaurant and hospitality industries, medical sector, and education, she’s a natural fit for IVR/Telephony, Medical Narration, and eLearning as well.

She writes a weekly blog on the art and business of voiceover, and acting and is my fellow Door Builder in the Building Doors VO campaign, whose founder, Christy Harst, I interviewed several episodes ago, where we talked about her Venezuelan Hijahkas.

Billie Jo is a native Midwesterner who currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia and has a thriving voiceover and VO coaching business and leads weekly accountability and voiceover workout groups. And when she’s not cookin in the studio, she’s in the kitchen baking up one of her favorite recipes, a Caramel Banana Cake,which she’ll be sharing with us today.

So let’s open up the kitchen with some Midwestern charm, class, and just a splash of sass, with the Voice That Perks You Up, by welcoming Billie Jo Konze to The Voice Kitchen.
