Send us Fan Mail It’s actually been a really long time since I interviewed someone for my podcast that I’ve never met before – so this was interesting and fun!! My special guest on this episode goes by “Mr. Scottish”! I was intrigued when I received a DM from his assistant to see if I wanted to interview him! Graham Wilson is actually relatively new to the VO industry. What started out as a simple, everyday comment to his beloved dog Biscuit during a TikTok live, found its way into the BookTok community. Since then, his Scottish accent, deep voice and natural delivery have captivated audiences around the world. In this episode, he tells his story - but Graham has lent his voice to character work, narrations, audiobooks, custom projects, and collaborations with talented creators across multiple platforms.  For more info about Graham, you can connect with him on TikTok @mr.scottish.va and on Instagram @mr.scottish.voice.actor or on his website at https://www.mrscottishva.com Support the show For more info about Val Kelly ("Squackyvoice" visit her website at https://www.midatlanticvo.com or https://www.valkellyvoiceover.com Or follow her on Instagram @Midatlanticvo or @livewithsquacky To become a MAVO Member and receive monthly discounts - as well as many other benefits, please click HERE!!!

Send us Fan Mail There are A LOT of talented people in this industry. But even with all the talent, there are very few people as genuine and funny as my special guest today!! Katie Jostock is a midwestern mom with a bright, warm, friendly, and passionate voice. Each day, she gets to do not one, but two of the things she loves to do most: voice acting and raising her beautiful 5-yr-old son. He reminds her of why she’s doing this. She wants to show him that it is possible to pursue his dreams--even if they seem unattainable. Katie offers fast, efficient, and quality service for voice projects, and she cares deeply about customer satisfaction. She also loves to laugh and have fun! Her custom-built, at-home booth provides broadcast-quality sound to take your project to the next level. Katie and I met a few years ago when she worked at MAVO as a “VALunteer”!! Her positive energy and enthusiasm made the event even more fun and I was so grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with her.  For more info and to connect with Katie, visit her website at https://www.katiejostock.com/ You can also connect with her on Instagram @katiejostockvo Support the show For more info about Val Kelly ("Squackyvoice" visit her website at https://www.midatlanticvo.com or https://www.valkellyvoiceover.com Or follow her on Instagram @Midatlanticvo or @livewithsquacky To become a MAVO Member and receive monthly discounts - as well as many other benefits, please click HERE!!!

Send us Fan Mail We’re gearing up for a “snowpocalypse” here in Virginia – so what better time than now to start Season 6 of my podcast! Hi!! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of “Live with Squacky”! I’m your host, Val Kelly – otherwise known as “Squackyvoice”!! Today on our show I’ll be chatting with the super talented Kelsey Painter – otherwise known as “The VO Opossum”!! I’m pretty sure crossed paths with  Kelsey several years ago at an online event - but only really had the chance to have real conversation with her and work with her in my mastery session on Characters that I hosted with Nate Begle this past November at MAVO2025! She’s hilarious and so talented!! Kelsey’s University and early professional background is in classical and contemporary theatre, through which she developed expert script analysis skills and explored a vast spread of different acting techniques and approaches. Kelsey describes herself as a “one of a kind, out of left field, funky weirdo, who is great for your environment (aka project)!” She brings sparkle and grit to every character she voices regardless of size, shape or galactic origin. Kelsey has a lot of success in interactive projects such as video games and animation projects.
