139 - The Blue Collar Voice Guy :: Troy Holden

A Middle Tennessee Business PodcastWhen I coach people who are getting into voiceover, one of the most common things I hear is, “I was always told I have a good voice.”  To which I answer, “I would bet Gilbert Gottfried never heard that. But he made it work quite well for himself.”It’s not about the voice…it’s about the ham. Troy Holden spent most of his professional life as a Blue Collar dude working in the automotive manufacturing industry. But he was always a ham. Not only was his voice quite decent, but more importantly, he knew how to use it and he has the business acumen that fast-tracked his success. From Troy:Blue collar has always meant "real people" to me... and that is all that I am.  I've worked in manufacturing most of my life until VO opened a door for me.  Wanting to deliver the "American Male Voice" with the Blue Collar spin made sense.”Episode highlights:15:01 -How he got into impersonating people.18:51 - Commercial auditions that are non-human.22:00 - The power of physicality in performance.32:01 - The microphone is your friend and your enemy.52:57 - The sales game is a sales game.Follow Troy:www.troyholdenvoices.com*****SUBSCRIBE/RATE/FOLLOW What’s Your Problem?
