NYC - VO Coach - From A Near-Death Experience to Professional Voiceover Success
I'm so honored to have interviewed my voice coach, Linda Bruno. She is an industry pro, with 30 years of experience. Her clients include: Disney, TLC, Kia, Costco, Walmart, Samsung, Motorola, CNN, Disney Jr., Nickelodeon.. and the list goes on. Check out her demos and more info on her website: www.lindabruno.com
Her training began in Miami, Florida with the legendary voice over actress, Connie Zimet who helped with the foundation for her craft. Connie accepted the shy 18-year old into her studio and gave her the inspiration to move forward with this challenging career. Those early days of watching Connie work were truly inspirational to her.
In 1997, she moved to NYC in search of an agent and larger clients. That move led to relationships with various agents, production houses and now thanks to the Internet, worldwide clients spanning as far away as India and Singapore on a daily basis.
Now based on Long Island, New York, she shares studio space with Digital Waterworx in Melville, and love the camaraderie and stimulation of being around other creative people.
Ever questioned the profound effect a spiritual encounter can have on one’s life? Linda's near-death experience at the age of 25 was a turning point that forever molded my perspective on life, grounding, empathy, and self-love – all crucial in addressing the relentless challenges of the voiceover industry. The indescribable peace from my encounter with a mysterious man who told her it wasn't her time yet, shaped a path in radio and eventually voice acting.
Vulnerability became her fuel, expressing her unique self during auditions. The journey led to an unexpected twist in her personal life, as she stumbled upon her now-husband after releasing the desperate need for companionship. There is magic in letting life unfold, bringing joy and gratitude more profound than we can ever imagine.
Ever felt like you're an imposter in your industry? We've all been there. The voiceover world is no exception. It's a territory filled with challenges. Linda shares insights on identifying the right people who can lead you on your career path, the necessity to take a step back when things feel off, and the importance of research to avoid wasting time and money. Tune in, whether you are a seasoned voice artist or just intrigued by the industry, this episode promises to enlighten and inspire.
