Who’s Pushing You? Why Voice Actors Need People Who Challenge Them

Voice over can be incredibly isolating. We spend countless hours alone in our booths, auditioning, recording, editing, and trying to grow our businesses. But the truth is this: success rarely happens in isolation. It happens when someone pushes you — directly or indirectly — to level up.

In this episode, I share the honest story behind the question that’s been fueling my own growth lately: Who’s pushing you?

From hearing Mike Pongratz and Matt Fogarty dominate the commercial breaks during the World Series, to getting uncomfortable (in the best way) with coaching from Brad Hyland, to having my entire Voice123 profile rebuilt by Samantha Damiano… these are the people who have challenged me, motivated me, and pushed me harder than I’ve pushed myself.

You’ll hear how:

• Inspiration from peers can become a powerful motivator
• Coaches, colleagues, and even casual acquaintances can challenge your growth
• Being open to the push leads to new opportunities
• Complacency creeps in when you stop being challenged
• Success often ties back to who you allow to push you forward

You’ll also hear how conversations with Rider, Kelly Moscinski, and even a simple phrase from Cynthia De Pando created the exact push I needed at the perfect time.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your business, plateaued, or “comfortable,” this episode is the mindset reset you may not realize you needed. Growth requires pressure — the right kind of pressure — and it starts by recognizing who is pushing you… and who should be.
