So nice to meet you! First off, what’s your name? Tell our readers a bit about yourself—where you’re from originally and where you live now.

Marc Graue, originally born in Hollywood Ca, and my voice over studios have become a Burbank Lanmark

Tell us one thing you love about where you live now?

I love living downtown near Lady Bird Lake. It allows me to experience both worlds at the same time—a big city and a place surrounded by nature.

If someone wants to start a business, what advice will help them?

Believe in yourself and YOUR vision. No one else will have the drive and determination the you'll have!

What was one feedback from a happy customer/client that you won't forget about?

Being coached by Marc is incredibly fun, enlightening and importantly, affordable. Even after 15 years in the acting and voiceover industry I have learned a great deal from my animation and video game voice over sessions with this legend, so much so, that within a few days of finishing I went straight out and booked a main part in a new game. That's no coincidence. Thanks Marc, I have never spent better money than my voice over coaching sessions with you."

What is the biggest misconception about your industry?

That Voice Over is easy and you just sit in a rook and talk....which is partially true but it IS a business so you need to approach it as a business

What has been one of your biggest struggle building your business and how did you deal with it?

when I first moved the studios to Burbank from Hollywood I had a very large client who was responsible for a big chunk of my income and within a week of moving into the much larger facilities in Burbank they told me they has built their own studios so you have to think on your feet and be reay to pivot. I think the next big thing is AI and you can either hate it an bemoan how terrible it is a figure out a way to make iy wotk fro you and your business!

Who was your favorite music artist and athlete growing up?

Growing up I was a huge LA Rams, Lakers and Dodgers fan. I've always like pretty much all types of music and grew up in a household where my Dad was a TV New Anchor, my mom was a singer and my brother was a professional musician ( Do Ho's musical director for years) ao musi and sound was alwayd part of growing up!

Any shoutouts you want to make?

Definitel a Shout Out to my buddy Joe Mantega and the Society Of Voice Arts for givig me the "Lifetime Achievment Award in 2021 and to Daes Butler and Stan Freburg being resposible for me going into voice over!
