Andrea Collins: Voicing Some Pretty Major Stuff

About this episode

Andrea Collins discusses her transition from radio to voiceover and the impact of AI on the industry.

I spoke with Andrea about her career in radio and her transition to voiceover. I met Andrea back in 2006 whe she was just fnishing up her tenure working promotions for Power 97 in Winnipeg. She went on to become a prominent figure in the Winnipeg and later Montreal and Toronto radio markets. She highlights her roles at Curve 94.3 (Remember that?) in Winnipeg, Virgin Radio, CTV, and iHeartRadio, and her shift to voiceover after being laid off in 2018. If you are going to listen to one valuable part about today's world, check out how she is handling AI and her business. She is thinking of the things that a lot of people have not considered for both radio and voiceover. In short: Protect Your Voice. We also discussed her involvement with CAVA , The Canadian Association of Voice Actors, and her recent move to Ottawa. CAVA is a non-profit, national organization formed by industry professionals who saw the need for a Canadian version of the U.S.-based National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA) - given that we have different laws and needs in Canada. If you are a voice actor in Canada - joining does not the cost a lot and the perks will literally pay for the membership. Please sign up…
