Ten years ago, I stepped into the recording booth, pressed “record” on my very first professional voiceover gig, and launched Stephen George VO (Okay, that’s a warm and fuzzy thought, but really, I started with registering as an LLC first – 📣 shout out business owners everywhere 📣).
As I look back on a milestone 10-year anniversary, I am filled with Gratitude for the hundreds of clients, authors, creative directors, and listeners who have trusted me to bring their stories to life.
On my updated Bio page on my website, I talk about how my journey to the microphone wasn’t in a straight XLR cable (read – “wasn’t in a straight line”… forgive me for the stretch of an analogy 🤦🏻♂️). I’ll leave those details over there for you to read.
When I officially launched my voice over career in 2016, I wanted to bring a wholesome, “old-soul” southern gentleman style to a modern, millennial market. Over the past 10 years, that vision has grown into a diverse voice over business.
Along the way, I’ve met some amazing people and together we’ve built some incredible brands:
Automotive Commercials & Television Show Projects: Bringing “high-octane” (sorry, couldn’t help it 😆) energy to automotive campaigns and shows like Dirt Knights.
Corporate & Narration: Providing a measured, authoritative voice for corporate training, instructional videos, and walking tours.
Audiobook Publishing: Immersing myself in long-form nonfiction storytelling, through fully produced audiobooks.
Reaching this 10-year milestone feels invigorating now more than ever. In an industry currently flooding with conversations about automated AI voices, I am more committed than ever to the power of the human voice.
Voice over isn’t just about reading words off a script as fast as possible. It’s about creating an atmosphere of safety, reliability, and trust. It’s about making your audience feel seen and understood. AI can get it done faster, but what are you sacrificing for the sake of speed? In short…relatability. I preach this to authors I work with at Twin Flames Studios and SGVO clients.
So, to the hundreds of clients I’ve partnered with over the last ten years: Thank You. Thank you for collaborating with me, for trusting me to deliver your vision, and for building your brands alongside mine.
Here’s to the next 10 years of telling great stories together!
