Staying supple -Epiphanies about failure - Gaming IS Shakespeare!
Kay Bess on LovethatVoiceover, part 4 of 4
All about staying supple with her skills, Kay gives us the inside perspective of her experience with VO training - when she does it and whom she's done it with. Names you've probably heard about, but her perspective on working with folks like Nancy Wolfson, Pat Fraley, Rob Paulson and Ceila Seigel.
Then Kay tells us a VERY personal story about a specific pivotal and dramatic moment in her career - which led her to summarize on epiphanies about failures. Kay explains how some of our best understanding comes from our worst emotional moments. In this case - losing a gig to a good friend and figuring out how to pick herself up from it.
What are Kay's future plans? Gaming for sure - chasing that Shakespearian drama! And wrapping up her first VO book - but it's not a 'how to get into VO' book, it's about having a VO career and keeping your human soul intact!!
Kay Bess is an American voice actress with over 20 years experience. Kay is the female voice of The Tennis Channel, the female imaging voice for Q107 Toronto, and narrated the insanely popular TV series The Property Brothers on HGTV, seasons 1-4. She was the female voice of DIRECTV from 2009-2013. She's voiced hundreds of TV and radio commercials, done promos and narrated documentaries for major networks. Kay does private voice over coaching.

We also touch on that aspect of community in VO again - how we are all somewhat isolated and looking to connect… Some specific improv examples with a script and Kay’s quotable line, “It’s really about keeping your mind sharp, open and willing.” Kay also gives a shout out to Rob Paulson and his live podcast because … well listen to my show and hear about it!!
