"What would an outside observer say about how serious you are about your goals? Don't tell me your priorities, show them. The answer is found in the action" ~ Sahil Bloom

Welcome Back to the Time to Elevate Podcast!
I’m your host, Ann Lucente, and if this is your first time tuning in—You’ve just stumbled into our cozy little corner of the internet where we lift each other up, cheer each other on, and believe in divine timing and good people. So Welcome to the family!
Once again, the VO Academy has given me another gift. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it —joining that community last year brought me more than I ever could’ve imagined. And today’s guest is one of the best examples of that.
He was chosen as the mentor of the month in our group and let me tell you—he didn’t just wear the title, he showed up. He joined our script workouts all month long and brought an energy and generosity that you could feel, even through a screen. I didn’t know much about him, but everyone in the group was already singing his praises. And once we connected, I got it. He just has this way about him—warm, grounded, inspiring… and very funny!
Big thanks to my friend Mel Rose for suggesting he’d be a perfect guest for Time to Elevate. So when he sent me his bio… I was blown away. Truly. Here’s just a little bit of who he is.
He’s been a working voiceover talent for nearly four decades, and you’ve definitely heard his voice—whether you knew it or not... because I certainly didn’t! His talents have been featured in commercials for Bank of America, Butterball, Clorox, Excedrin, GMC Truck, Dole, L.L. Bean, the Oregon and North Carolina Lotteries, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Kroger, the National Association of Realtors, and Southwest Airlines—plus countless spots for Armed Forces Radio.
He’s brought to life hundreds of character voices for Disney, Hanna-Barbera, and Warner Brothers beloved shows, including some of my favorites - Smurfs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Winnie the Pooh, DuckTales, and Captain Planet. Add in over 15 characters for Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, plus roles in major titles like X-Men, James Bond: GoldenEye 2, Enter the Matrix, and several others he can’t even name because of NDAs—yeah, it’s safe to say this man has range.
He was the live announcer for Last Comic Standing for 8 seasons, narrated True Hollywood Stories for E!, and was handpicked to voice NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary videos. For over 25 years, he’s also been the voice behind U.S. military training—and sincerely apologizes to any active or retired veterans for the number of times they’ve had to hear his voice!
And fun fact—he doesn’t just play people. He’s also barked like a dog in commercials for Citibank, Carl’s Jr., and Toyota... and he voiced every dog in SimCity’s Pet Expansion Pack.
He’s also a producer, director, stand-up comic, and a fabulous margarita master—and he somehow does all this with a smile.
But what makes him feel like the luckiest man on the planet? His incredible family, and the voiceover career he’s built doing what he loves.
With a résumé like that—and a heart to match—it is my absolute honor to welcome voiceover talent, producer, director commercial and animation writer... and my new friend, Nick Omana!
