Voiceover pro and Building Doors Ambassador Soraya Butler shares how she pivoted from on-camera work in NYC to building a thriving VO career from her tiny Brooklyn apartment. With credits across commercials, corporate narration, political spots, ADR, and more, Soraya dishes on how she got scrappy with gear, earned her agent’s trust, and carved out her niche—one authentic performance at a time.

She opens up about setbacks (like being replaced by a celebrity voice), her love of hospitality influencing her client approach, and her dream of voicing for brands like Lexus, Maybelline, and Chanel. Warm, witty, and whip-smart, Soraya’s story is a masterclass in resilience, self-direction, and leaning into your strengths.

When was the last time you heard a woman voicing the promos for the Super Bowl, a PGA tournament, or the World Cup? Chances are, you haven’t—and that needs to change.

The Building Doors campaign is pushing for equal opportunities in voice-over, especially in male-dominated spaces like sports. We spotlight female voice actors voicing ads originally voiced by men, challenging brands and agencies to embrace gender diversity.
