During this episode, Griesemer shares his story of overcoming teenage insecurities to discover his path to becoming a professional voice actor. Despite his young age and having no formal training or experience in the industry, Griesemer’s perseverance, passion and pursuit of opportunities led him to work for notable clients including international beverage companies, major retailers, travel and entertainment businesses and more. In his work, he brings the ‘voice’ of varying cities and countries to life through impressions, expanding his reach to international clients as he can easily communicate messages as a ‘local’ – all from his home office in central Texas. His story gives us an inside look at a unique facet of the communications field, and reminds us of best practices and key focus areas that resonate with our profession: quality and the creative process.
