Episode Details

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.
