The VO Median
The VO Median is a podcast created by Xavier Torres, a former five diamond butler, turned digital marketing enthusiast and now aspiring bilingual voice talent.
Xavier’s motivation is driven in great part not only to help, educate and inspire others looking for a career change into the business, craft and industry of voiceover, but also as means to keep himself accountable by showing up and telling his side of the story from his perspective at the median part of his life.
Initially a solo project, Xavier hopes to expand the show into regular interview episodes where both English and Spanish voice artists and voiceover entrepreneurs are all welcome to share their own experiences for the benefit of beginner and veteran voice artists alike.
