Do you need to source guests for podcasts? Do you want to be placed on the most high-profile and relevant shows within your industry? Are you stuck and unable to grow your audience? I can help! I'm a talent booker and outreach specialist for podcasts. What does that mean? -For my Guest Sourcing clients, I develop targeted potential guest lists for your show and create an outreach strategy that yields bookings. This can help you reach your dream guests, expand your show's exposure, and achieve any other sales/booking goals for your show. -For my Guest Placement clients, I craft individualized pitches and an outreach strategy to get you guest spots on your target shows. You get to take advantage of my years of networking as a talent booker and I can help you expand your reach, amplify your voice, and get you the access to shows that you need. How I work? -I combine my experience with every modern tool and software that I can. And as someone who has been on the receiving end of thousands of bad, AI-laden pitches, I also know when a pitch just stinks. With me, you get an "Actually Human, Always" outreach - I endeavor to best represent your voice while making my pitch feel like an actual human being sent the email (because I did!) and that it's not just a plug-and-play templated sales pitch. -I keep my copy short. I keep it to the point. Yet, I make it compelling enough to get responses. -I'm efficient. I respond quickly (I'm an inbox-zero emailer) and I can work within short deadlines and time frames. -I'm also not afraid of letting you know when something is impossible ("you really want to be on SmartLess this week?! It's not likely..." but I'm willing to put in the work for stretch goals ("...here's the strategy I'd build to get you there"). Where have I worked? -Independently, I've worked for well-known brands like SoFi and Udemy, sourcing both top experts, Fortune 500 C-Suite execs and prominent names from related media. -For Sweet Fish Media, I've booked for dozens of shows in the B2B digital marketing space across a wide swatch of industries. -In comedy television, I provided talent booking and casting services for hundreds of episodes of narrative television, sourcing A-List celebrity talent on limited budgets. I can build a package to set you up to do the booking work on your own. Or I can work on retainer providing a set amount of bookings for you per month. You can set up a consultation with me on Upwork and all materials generated will be for you to use after the call. For additional information on my producing background, see the below: As a podcast producer, my work history includes overseeing the building of a podcast network at a Digital Media company (Group Nine Media) where I produced chat, narrative, and journalistic shows on a broad spectrum of subjects. I've edited podcasts for wide-reaching media companies Discovery+, non-profits and independent creators. I've worked remotely since 2019 with clients based all over the world. Whether you're building a podcast from scratch or you're looking to improve an existing show, I can help!

I specialize in becoming the recognizable voice and face of long-form YouTube and educational content. Channels don’t grow from scripts alone — they grow from familiarity. When viewers trust the presenter, retention rises, comments increase, and audiences return. My role is to provide that consistent identity. For the past decade I’ve worked full-time as a professional presenter and narrator across documentary, educational, and personality-driven channels — explaining complex topics clearly without sounding scripted or promotional. Clients typically bring me in when they need more than a recording. They need a host the audience believes. Common projects • Ongoing YouTube channel host / recurring presenter • Documentary & educational narration • Authority-style explainers (science, history, finance, tech) • On-camera brand & course presentation • Voice + face continuity across a content series What makes the difference Clear, natural delivery — intelligent without sounding academic Professional studio audio & video Reliable batching for high-volume production Consistent tone across months or years of content If you’re building a channel or brand that depends on audience trust rather than quick ads, I can help you establish a presenter viewers recognize and come back to.

I blend creativity with technical skill of vocal nuance. I've worked on various projects from recording animated characters with distinct personalities to delivering engaging narratives for commercials and audiobooks. Female voice work in 20-45 age range. Sound is low, smooth, and approachable.

Beyond my technical skills, I am a friendly and approachable collaborator. I believe that open communication is key to achieving outstanding results, and I’m always eager to discuss ideas and feedback to ensure we’re aligned every step of the way. Let’s work together to create something remarkable! Whether you need dynamic animations, striking motion graphics, or a captivating voiceover, I’m here to bring your project to life with charm, personability, and professionalism.
