Joy’s Talent Spotlight: Andrea Balsa

June 17, 2019 By Joy Kingston Leave a Comment

Andrea Balsa is a fascinating young woman who is setting the world on fire with her outstanding talent in bilingual voice over. The day I interviewed Andrea, I was sitting in my home in Las Vegas, NV and she was sitting in her room…in Poland! Yes, Poland, doing a huge voiceover project. She was hired to do a job for a big U.S. department store, and had to hunt for a studio to record the project in Poland. That’s just one of the projects Andrea is currently working on.

She also plays several instruments including piano, violin, saxophone and guitar which Shelley feels helps her immensely in rhythm when performing voice over jobs.

Joy’s Talent Spotlight: Denise Thistlewaite

Fellow Voicers – I had a super awesome time chatting with our fellow student, Denise Thistlewaite.  Wow! Denise is one multi-talented lady.  She had always a love of reading starting in her childhood.  It grew into a serious curiosity that perhaps someday she could be that voice on audiobooks. She has lent her voice to many pro bono projects for her employer, the Clark County School District, where she has voiced several tutorials.  [Read more…] about Joy’s Talent Spotlight: Denise Thistlewaite

Hello fellow voicers! I am thrilled to introduce you to a sweet and warm lady, Melodie Maynor!

Her military career of over 14 years gives Melodie a vast amount of customer service experience that she brings to the table.

Joy’s Talent Spotlight: Iris Fields

September 24, 2018 By Joy Kingston Leave a Comment

Allow me to introduce Iris Fields, a fascinating and multi-faceted lady. Her first contact with the voice over world happened when Iris went to Los Angeles to make a promotional CD for her real estate business in the 1990’s. During the taping, the engineer was so impressed with her voice, he encouraged her to investigate Voiceover. That was the first time she became aware of the Voiceover potential and, although still immersed in her 38-year-long real estate career, Iris never forgot about his suggestion.

This episode of Joy’s Talent Spotlight will feature the handsome and talented Jesse Estrada. We all know Jesse as our TVAS coach and engineering savior! Jesse fell in love with all things “voice” as a young man listening to the raw emotions coming from the radio, and found it all to be very intriguing. He got into radio just out of high school, but sadly realized that the income potential was too low. In 2002, Jesse temporarily left the world of radio.
