There is no denying the fact that things CHANGE. Our society and culture influences media and advertising AND the industries advertising represents. With that said, it is OUR job as voice actors to EVOLVE our performances while time continues to change the world as we know it. So much is communicated through the voice, and your voice doesn't lie! So it's time to start being honest with who you are, read from the heart and understand that we all need to evolve in order to survive in this business...

So get ready to expand your mind as we dive into the Evolution of the Announcer, because **Bob Tracey is back and bringing the energy, knowledge, wisdom and Cold-Read-Challenge Skills in today's episode of the Middle Class VO Podcast. You won't want to miss this!

Truthfully, there is a lot to be said about a great song, and as we listen to some of the greatest hits of all time today, we will even discuss how they relate to voiceovers!!!

But before you hit play, there is one mystery that awaits in today's episode... With a special guest coming on today's show, the question is if you AND Bobbi can guess WHO the MYSTERY GUEST is? If you're up for the challenge, listen to the clues we give Bobbi as she also tries to solve the mystery at hand!
