In this vibrant and insightful episode of The Making WAVs VO Podcast, we're joined by the incredibly talented Carin Gilfry, a voice actor who’s not only made a name for herself in the industry but also co-founded and serves as Vice President of the National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA). A non-profit association created to advocate and promote the advancement of the voice acting industry through action, education, inclusion and benefits! Carin opens up about some important issues, including the impact AI is having on the voiceover world, especially when it comes to its effects on people of color.

We also talk about the anonymous NAVA VO survey - a crucial tool that helps collect industry data and gives voice actors like you a clearer picture of the industry each year. Carin shares her insights on things like voice actors' average yearly income, gives us a peek at some of the survey’s key questions, and offers personal advice on how she supports aspiring voice talent in navigating their own careers!
