  • Making Wavs with Bobbi Maxwell and Kevin Kilpatrick
    Oct 31 2024

    Kevin Kilpatrick and Bobbi Maxwell, hosts of the Making Wavs podcast, join me to discuss their backgrounds in radio and how they transitioned into voiceover.

    Kevin primarily works in automotive and e-learning, while Bobbi focuses on commercial work, particularly in the automotive and political genres. They also talk about the advantages and disadvantages of coming from a radio background in voiceover.

    The conversation covers topics such as the different tiers of automotive work, the evolution of their podcast from the Middle Class VO Podcast to Making Wavs, and the importance of repeat clients in the voiceover industry.
