Joe Bianco is a Voiceover Talent. He spends his days recording for clients who need an 'audio actor.'

Joe is a 'roll-up-his-sleeves,' 'lunchpail' kind of artist. He determined early on that he needed to carve out a creative niche suited to his skills and the microphone became his ally.

I particularly appreciated Joe sharing about a college course called 'Performance Problems.' Pay special attention to that part of the interview.
