Atlanta Voiceover Studio

Heidi Rew and Mike Stoudt are husband-and-wife voice actors and co-founders of Atlanta Voiceover Studio. With decades of combined experience in voiceover, radio, acting, and pretty much every corner of the VO industry, they've spent years helping voice actors grow their skills and navigate the business.

For their 100th podcast episode, they're flipping the script! No industry guests. No carefully curated interview questions. Just Heidi and Mike tackling the most unhinged voiceover questions they could find. Expect candid answers, questionable tangents, a little husband-and-wife banter, and probably a few things they shouldn't say out loud.

100 episodes later, they're officially off-script.
