Christy Harst | How Mom Made It! With her voice
You might not know it but chances are good that you’ve heard this mom’s voice on commercials for John Deere, Delta Faucets, Sherwin Williams, Bank of America and PNC Bank.
In this episode, we’re chatting with Christy Harst, who for the past 20 years has been working as a voice over actor.
Her journey started in college when she applied for a news internship at a radio station. During the interview, the station manager told her she had a good voice, escorted her to the studio, asked her to read the Star Spangled Banner into a microphone, and pressed record. After she was done, he played it back and said, “You’d do well in voice overs.” At the time, Christy says she didn’t even know what a voice over was, let alone how to get into the business. At the end of the internship, the station manager hired her to record a tag line for a commercial. She remembers her parents drove an hour to get in range to hear it on their car radio.
Listen to this episode and learn how Christy makes a living getting others to listen and how she launched her career from her home-based studio.
