GTT Trusted Partner: Chuck Duran, Demos That Rock
Can your audio quality make or break your voiceover career?
In this episode, George the Tech sits down with legendary demo producer Chuck Duran to talk pro audio, modern VO demos, and why your home studio might be the biggest factor in whether you book or get passed over.
Chuck shares his journey from music roots and moving to LA at 13, to a decades-long friendship with Jess Harnell that unexpectedly launched his career producing voiceover demos. Along the way, he reveals why great reads aren’t enough if the audio is bad, how commercial production has evolved into story-driven sound design, and why he now produces demos 100% remotely—so your real studio sound is front and center.
You’ll also hear how custom scripts, simple signal chains, and clean mic technique beat over-processed “radio sound,” and how VO Buzz Weekly’s demo spotlights can help talent get seen by agents.
If you’re a voice actor, this episode could change how you think about your studio, your demos, and your career.
