Dan is a lot of things: musician, sound man, producer, coach, talent, and blogger. But above all else, Dan is the author of the book "Zen and the Art of Voiceover", and a VO philosopher, with a unique point-of-view, and a ton of wisdom to share on breaking down scripts, finding the core of the copy, and how to get people to listen, not merely hear.

One of the most commonly mentioned goals in the voice arts is that of "finding your authentic voice" (so much so that it even saw me put that phrase in quotes due to it having been rendered nearly a stereotype from over-use): that authentic voice that is your natural, base-line, foundational voice, and comes from the core of who you are. When doing so, for some, that means coming to terms with things like speech impediments. For others, it may be that their voice doesn't live in a register that they want it to. But for some, that journey goes much farther, and much deeper than merely "what I sound like," and goes all the way down to "who I truly am."

Bernadette "Bernie" Wagenblast is an iconic voice to millions of people, even though they might not know it, or her. For decades—and to this day—Bernie's voice guides countless travelers, commuters, and passengers through the maze that is mass transit in New York City and other areas of the Tri-State area with a calm and friendly tone that says "You're welcome here."

But until very recently, the person with that welcoming voice was searching for something themselves, and—now having found it—speaks up (and speaks out) with their true, authentic voice from here on out.

If you've ever searched the ol' interwebs for VO advice, you've seen her. If you've ever listened to what she has to say about VO, you either lover her, or want to burn the messenger.

Gabrielle Nistico is a one-woman mobile "No BS Zone" of VO wisdom (sorta visualize Glinda the Good Witch in her bubble, but maybe if she was being played by Joan Jett). She doesn't care if your feelings get hurt. She doesn't care if you'd have liked her notes on that read phrased differently. She doesn't care how much you paid for that mic. She. Doesn't. Care. What she cares about—deeply cares about—is: our industry; the actors in it; equity, inclusion, and representation; and people having the real, practical—and business knowledge—to succeed in it. If that results in some being butt-hurt along the way, then she's okay with that.
