GTT Client Profile: Roger Rose, Voice Actor and Former VH1 VJ

What happens when you land your dream voiceover gig—and your studio won’t cooperate?

Voice actor and former VH1 VJ Roger Rose joins George for a funny, candid conversation about the business behind the performance. From finding the voice of Happy Feet’s leopard seal to pursuing his dream of becoming a network announcer, Roger shares what it took to get in the door, handle rejection, and keep showing up when the stakes were high.

Roger and George also unpack the technical side of staying employable: reliable remote connections, simpler recording setups, and why talent and engineers need to work as a team. Along the way: an unexpected Clint Eastwood encounter, recording from hotels and cars, and a few memorable occasions when getting the job done required serious improvisation.
