Eternal Truths of Voiceover
Hello my dear voiceover colleagues. Welcome. And thank you for joining me here on yet another social media platform: The blog.
Some of you may know that through the course of my voiceover career, I've also been a writer. However, I've never written about voiceover, preferring instead to write poems, collections, short pieces, and the like. Well, we're well over 6 months into COVID realities and I'm all poem-ed out. It's time to do something new, something pithy, something helpful for the community I work in and love. So, to begin this blog, over the next weeks and months I'm going to share with you some of the eternal truths and insights I've gleaned over these last ... ahem... 3 decades in the magical world of voiceover. Now, my experience is just that. My experience. Make of it what you will. Take it or leave it. Actually, I hope you take it - if only for the sake of my having been around as long as I have. Surely I have a VoiceOver leg to stand on. ;-)
The voiceover...

Kay Bess
Voice Actor and Coach
In her 35 year career, Kay has voiced hundreds of tv and radio commercials as well as promos for every major network and cable news station. In 2013 she dove headlong into gaming and animation and, as these genres are more “acting” than “voice”, she enrolled in a rigorous two-year program in Meisner Technique. Three months in, Kay booked the role of Ana in Lara Croft: Rise of the Tomb Raider and hasn’t stopped booking games since, voicing roles in The Last of Us II, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, Fallout 76 and more. Not long after, Kay booked noted animation series The Loud House, Spirit Riding Free, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. Kay can be heard as the voice of The Starship La Sirena in Star Trek: Picard, and voices Bellroc in WIZARDS, the 3rd installment of Guillermo Del Toro’s epic trilogy, Tales of Arcadia. Kay relishes spending time with her anime-loving teenage daughter, baking sourdough bread on the weekends, and hosting an emerging podcast called The B-Hive: Women in Voiceover available on Spotify and iTunes.
