In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, we sit down with one of the most recognizable voices in the industry—David Kaye. Whether you know him as Optimus Prime, the voice of countless movie trailers, or his extensive video game and animation work, David’s journey is one for the books. From his radio roots to discovering the power of simply being himself behind the mic, David shares invaluable insights into the craft of voice acting, the evolution of home studios, and the unexpected lessons he learned along the way. We talk character voices, the nuances of delivering an authentic read, and why sometimes the best performance comes from doing nothing at all. This one’s a masterclass in voiceover wrapped in great stories, laughs, and a little nostalgia. 🔊 Brought to you by our sponsors: 🎧 Austrian Audio – Making Passion Heard 🎙️ Tribooth – Get $200 off your Tribooth with code TRIPAP200 💬 Got thoughts on this episode?
