Voice Over Body Shop is excited to bring you Kathryn Horan--an actual Casting Director captured in the wild! Or perhaps she graciously agreed to join us, it's usually one or the other. More importantly, she answers the questions voice actors want to hear: How do you get chosen for a Voice Over project? For big commercials and other projects, the upfront gatekeeper is the Casting Director. Our guest this week will give us the inside view of what goes on when being chosen to even audition for project, let alone chosen for the gig.

Kathryn Horan has been a Casting Director, Demo Producer, Audio Engineer, and Voiceover Coach with The Voicecaster since 2012. Kathryn has cast for major brands like Honda, ampm, Ashley Furniture, Verizon, Nike, and many more! She has a B.A. in Theatre Arts and Acting from New Mexico State University and has been in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles for over 10 years!

This episode, our friend and voice actor Jack Daniel steps in for George, who can't be here tonight. Jack is always with us handling the Chat Room, and you might know him from his work voicing national movie trailers, promo, and commercials. What he lacks in tech knowledge, he makes up for in his love of the craft and for the guys who help him keep his studio in top shape.

We also have a surprise appearance by David H. Lawrence XVII, who announces a very special and innovative program for helping voice actors achieve their VO goals. Check it out!

And Of Course!!! Dan and George want to answer your home voice over studio questions sent to: theguys@VOBS.tv and share the latest in VO tech.
