This week, The Pro Audio Suite breaks tradition — and smashes a few stereotypes along the way — as we welcome Christy Harst to the show.
Christy is a voice actor and founder of Building Doors, a grassroots movement dedicated to creating opportunities for women in male-dominated sectors like sports, automotive, gaming, and tech voiceover. After years of hitting roadblocks, Christy decided to stop waiting for the industry to change — and started building her own doors.
In this wide-ranging, real, and sometimes confronting conversation, we dive into:
The harsh realities facing women in promo and commercial VO today
Why even major brands are missing huge opportunities by ignoring female voices
The importance of representation in creating real cultural change
How grassroots support — a like, share, or tag — can directly impact a voice actor's career
Christy's global plans for Building Doors, including expansions into Australia, Egypt, and the UK
The Pro Audio Suite proudly stands behind Building Doors and its mission.
