If there’s one thing that “The Guys” at Voice Over Body Shop have shown over the more than 7 years of Producing their show, its that building a career for a voice actor takes persistence, patience and passion. That is what this weeks VO BS guest, Las Vegas based voice talent Melissa Moats is all about. She loves her work, and gets lost in it every day. She voices for television promos, documentaries, phone systems, video games, corporate training videos,.. the whole gamut. That includes promos for The Ellen Show, doing national tv commercials for Best Western Hotels, being the North American guide voice on the video game Wii Yoga, and narrating documentaries for super stars Justin Timberlake and Drake! She’s also heard heard regularly on Pandora Internet Radio.
Melissa really enjoys mentoring others who share the same dream of voice acting.
