How Do You Present Yourself in the Voice Over Business in 2021?
Voice Over Body Shop brings you more fresh content with a deep dish discussion with the one and only J.S. Gilbert!
J.S. is a writer, ad creative and voice actor, who knows more about social media than most Gurus - He’s not an influencer, it's just that the influencers listen to HIM.
Aside from his noted commercial work, he’s played the iconic role  of “Sweetooth” in the video game “Twisted Metal” and a ton of other creepy roles in other noted games.
Brilliant, Quick witted and  opinionated, we’ll talk about who you need to listen to when making social media decisions.
