On this podcast episode, I sit down with international voice actor George Washington III, who brings more than 20 years of experience across commercials, corporate narration, television, video games, promos, and more. George opens up about what it really takes to thrive in voiceover today—hint: it’s not just about talent, but about community, connection, and keeping your creative fire alive.

In this conversation, George shares why the voiceover community is crucial to long-term success, how his background as a singer has shaped his voice work, and why having a passion outside of voiceover is essential to keeping your artistry fresh. Whether you’re new to VO or a seasoned pro, you’ll take away insights about sustaining a career while staying inspired.

George has spent decades voicing projects for clients around the globe and is an active supporter of the broader VO industry. You’ll also hear about WoVOCon: The Voiceover Unconference, coming up October 17–19, 2025, in New Orleans, where George will be a featured part of this unique gathering of talent.

On this podcast episode I dive deep with Wesley Stevens, the founder of Vox, Inc. Wes shares his fascinating journey from starting as an intern in the voiceover industry to becoming a highly successful agent. In this episode, explore the evolution of voiceover, the impact of technology on the industry, and what it takes to make it as a voiceover artist today. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the scene, this episode is packed with insights and advice from one of the industry's most experienced agents.

Wes has advocated for talent as a profession since 1994. He started in Columbus, Ohio at a small agency booking variety acts before joining Talent Group, Inc. (TGI) in Los Angeles in 1995 as an assistant. Seven years later, he acquired TGI's voice-over department and launched VOX, Inc. Wes has represented some of the biggest names in film, television, social media and music, alongside brands including Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks, Fox, GE, Apple, Dodge, Jaguar and Sprint. His first booking of note was placing David Hyde Pierce in "A Bugs Life," and the journey took him back to Pixar in 2009, when he placed Ed Asner in "Up." Along that road there have been many campaigns, series, films, and fond memories.

Having built the company off the springboard of his specialization in animation and gaming, the company’s success led to diversification into celebrity endorsements and innovative deals in hosting, podcasting, AI and other emerging media and technologies. Wes helps talented people create powerful, equitable, and long-term relationships. He thrills at the opportunity to connect the right talented people with each other.

Wes was born in Virginia. He is a military brat, an Eagle Scout and a graduate of the University of Virginia. Wes has run seven full marathons from Honolulu to Florence, Italy. He is very involved with Amazon Conservation Team and with Best Buddies, a global charity promoting the full integration of individuals with intellectual disabilities into mainstream society. He is passionate about creativity in all its expressions. Wes resides in Los Angeles with his husband and two pups.
