Welcome Back to the Time to Elevate Podcast!
I’m your host, Ann Lucente, and if this is your first time tuning in—oh, are you in for a treat! Today’s guest brings laughter, talent, and a whole lot of fun.
If you’ve been here before, you’ve probably heard me mention the VO Academy and what I did not expect when I joined the VO Academy was just how much of a game changer it would be—not just for my voiceover career, but for the incredible people I’ve met along the way. I always say that my greatest joy, in voiceover and in this podcast, comes from the people I connect with.
So That brings me to my guest today—he’s one of the blessings from my VO Academy journey. He’s the only person who could convince me to attempt an English accent for the first time for his audio drama production—though, let’s be real, it was more of a Bronx-English hybrid! But the best part? He made me feel like I nailed it.
Before we jump in—here is a peek into his world:
From driving a tractor at the age 6 on his grandparents' farm to commanding the stage in over 40 theater productions, my guest has always had a strong presence.
In high school a switch from debate class to drama led to award-winning performances and even a college scholarship.
After decades in sales and training, he found his true passion in voiceover, lending his voice to everything from commercials and documentaries to eLearning and classic radio dramas. With nearly a decade in the industry and a heart for the "little guy," he brings stories to life with professionalism and warmth.
So get ready for a treat and lots of laughter with the amazing, fun-loving, voice actor, director, producer, and fellow podcast host—my friend, Richard Durrington!
